Amenities
We had a great time at the Villa! It was a great setup for our family and they provided high chair and pack and play for our little ones. Beautiful scenery and a nice area to be able to explore without leaving the grounds. We really enjoyed staying at the Solana Villas, it was very peaceful and quiet. It was not easy to walk in the immediate neighborhood, but close to plenty of things to do by short drives including hikes and sunset views on Mt Lemmon. John & Danielle were great hosts and very responsive. John and Danielle were fantastic hosts! They were friendly, helpful and had thought of so many small touches to make our stay truly excellent. We would definitely stay again. We had a great time host was friendly and very responsive. We will be back.
