The location was great! Our house made us cookies which was nice. We choose to stay at a VRBO so have the option of cooking. There were very little staples like seasonings, tin foil etc. There isn’t much storage in one of the bedrooms. We had to put our clothes in the drawer in the hallway. The smaller bathroom had no counter space to put any toiletries. These are all personal preferences. The backyard is beautiful and a nice space!

Very well-appointed and quaint property. The hosts went out of their way to be hospitable. Darling home with plenty of space--lots of areas inside and out to find a quiet moment. We can't wait to come back to Casa Reina! Thank you, Bruce and Ann.
Right outside the front of the house. Definitely matches the personality of Casa Reina!

Perfect Stay

My wife and I and our dogs spent five night visiting Tucson (we lived there for years back in the 90s). The house and grounds were even cuter in person and made an excellent central base for our trip. Pups appreciated the dog treats!

I would like to give this 20 stars. Everything about the home was just so perfect and comfortable. The beds were extremely nice and all of the linens were high-end. Our hosts were so accommodating and left us snacks and the best cookies ever. The landscaping around the house is such a joy to walk through. It amazed us that even though we were in the heart of things, the house was so quiet. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathrooms are beautiful!. The artwork in the home was so interesting. Given I am an artist, I enjoyed everything so much. I just felt like we were visiting family. The floor plan is perfect for two couples traveling together. The bedrooms are separated and feel very private. The living room furniture was very comfortable. I think I could go on and on, but hopefully you won't hesitate to book this place. The Casita in the garden is another gem.
