    There are so many things to mention. I went alone, and the innkeepers made that very comfortable. It was quiet and restful - everything I could ask for in a desert getaway. A sanctuary of cacti and birds, I loved being on the grounds, but there was plenty to do nearby as well. I loved the old Mexico theme. My room (Galleria) looked out at the mountains and a bird bath, and was private. I thought it was priced reasonably for what was offered. I didn't want to leave!


    Perfect in every way!

    My husband and I recently spent five nights at Hacienda del Desierto in celebration of our five-year wedding anniversary. We enjoyed every part of this lovely B&B. Our room, La Rosa, was cheery, comfortable, clean, and cozy. The bed was super comfy. We used the kitchenette to make dinner and relaxed on our own private patio. The breakfasts were superb and include fresh fruit presented creatively, homemade granola, homemade muffins or other baked goods, hard boiled eggs, fruit juices, and freshly brewed coffee or tea. The common spaces inside and outside were beautiful and relaxing. We took advantage of the hot tub and enjoyed gazing at the stars and listening to the coyotes howl. We awoke every morning to singing birds and often to the sight of javelinas. The location is private, secluded, and quiet, yet close to great hiking and stores and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future.


    Galleria is a lovely place to stay.

    The bedroom, sitting room and bathroom of the Galleria suite are all comfortable, colorful and fun. The bed is great. Best of all is the private pond right outside the sitting room window, it's regularly visited by roadrunners, cactus wrens, curve-billed trashers, Gambles quail and many others. It's a great introduction to the desert has to offer...

    Innkeepers David and Rosemary Brown have honed the skill of being perfect hosts. They have created a perfect setting to have a romantic, family or active vacation in their gorgeous home, and grounds. You are greeted with freshly baked cookngies, and a plethora of activities to do both on and off the grounds. Both hosts gave their time generously to ensure that we enjoyed Tucson, and their home. The rooms are all gorgeous, and decorated with care and love. We loved waking up to the chirping birds, a gourmet cold breakfast, relaxing in all the nooks and crannies, and walking around their pristine property. This hacienda is a destination unto itself; we loved its total ambiance, and how calm and serene we felt. It is definitely a place you could visit over and over again.
