El Presidio Inn

  • Inn Details

    Set in the downtown historic district, El Presidio combines Victorian detailing with adobe walls nearly two feet thick. After years of painstaking restoration, innkeepers Jerry and Patti Toci opened their doors as a B&B in 1985, offering elegant guest rooms extensively appointed with antiques and collectibles, and a flower-filled courtyard highlighted by a traditional fountain.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the El Presidio Inn. Patti was a most welcoming host and keen to make us feel at home. The house is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Our room was spacious with a large en-suite and separate private sitting room. Every attention to detail was taken. The breakfasts consisting of fresh fruit, freshly cooked omlettes, pancakes and bread along with coffee and tea were delicious and we were enouraged to help ourselves to beverages whenever we needed them. Patti is very knowledgeable about the Tucson area and keen to offer recommendations of what to do and see and where to eat. We would strongly recommend this Inn and look forward to returning in the future.

    Our hostess, Patti Toci, has created a most wonderful experience at her B&B, a wonderfully restored turn of the century home with the most delightful and unexpected courtyard. Cozy fully appointed rooms and breakfasts you must experience! Our four nights there were just heaven. Patti is the most knowledgeable and charming hostess. We hope to be back soon!

    I couldn't be happier about my stay at this bed and breakfast. Patti was so friendly and helpful in everyway. She made you feel so welcoming and really wanted you to have the best time in the city. The room is great, only that the temperature control is a little tricky to play with (either too cold or too warm), but not a big issue. Just a lovely, lovely stay.

    I have stayed at El Presidio B&B twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It provided a quiet, beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The food was great, the amenities very generous and Patti is a delightful hostess and great cook.
