Welcome to the romantic and serene desert oasis of Alta Vista Bed and Breakfast. Our home is perched high upon a hill with panoramic views of the beautiful Santa Catalina mountains in the North, the lovely Rincon Mountains in the East, and the lush Tanque Verde Valley spread out before you. Our quiet haven is nestled near the Saguaro National Park East, known for its great hiking trails, biking and horseback riding. For the wildlife lovers and birders, you will love watching the abundant birds and desert creatures, enjoy viewing cardinals, soaring hawks,great horned owls, gila woodpeckers, gambrel quail, hummingbirds and our resident roadrunner,javelina, deer and serenading coyotes. Relax and take in the wonderful views from our pool and hot tub or just relax..kick back and enjoy the sunshine! We love to pamper our guests!
