This was such a well-kept gem in the beautiful Senoran Desert! It was a 10 minute drive from the East Entrance of Saguaro National Park, which is what we came for. The place was beautiful, clean, well-stocked and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and pickleball courts as well. The landscaping was beautiful, and my kids loved seeing lizards run up the trees. We will definitely being staying there agin for our next visit! Don't forget to bring your bikes!!! A great property for families. It was our first visit to Tucson and spent time with family members staying in a separate property. This is far East Tucson, so plan on a bit of a drive to most things. That said, this property has so many amenities, we had plenty to entertain the kids with (pickleball all the time). The property was incredibly clean, and well stocked. The blackout curtains in the room were appreciated when getting our 22mo old down for a nap or bed. Wish the pool was a little warmer, but we came early in the spring. Audrey

Loved Solana Villa's. The property was gorgeous and we enjoyed all the amenities. The location was private and quiet. My family and I had a wonderful stay at Solana Spanish Villas. The home had an excellent layout and was very beautiful and spacious for our family size. We loved the large kitchen, especially since we like to prepare most of our meals. The property grounds were well kept, and our kids enjoyed playing basketball and other games, or just lounging in the hammocks at one of the many beautiful outdoor spaces. The property is just as described and has all the things you need to feel right at home. John and Danielle were very welcoming and responsive to any queries that we had. We would definitely stay here in the future and recommend Solana Spanish Villas to our friends.
