My husband and I really loved our stay at Diamante! The house was in a beautiful location, not too far a drive to downtown, but far enough away to "feel away from it all". It was s short drive to some lovely hikes. The house has a beautiful view of natural surroundings with saguaros and small birds. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the porch. Even though there is another home nearby, the way the house is positioned, you don't even notice there is anything else around. The home was extremely clean, not a spec of dust or dirt in sight. The bed was comfortable. The home was appointed well with lovely touches and well equipped for a long stay (we stayed for 5 nights and used the kitchen a lot, cooking many of our meals in the house). On our previous visit to Tucson, we had stayed at Tanque Verde Ranch, which we loved as well. However, even though Tanque Verde Ranch has other things to offer like a restaurant on site, horseback riding, etc., we ultimately enjoyed El Diamante more!
Ideal spot for exploring Saguaro National Park! A nonbusy trailhead is only a mile away. The casita is comfortable with a full kitchen and a clean private hot tub. Jim is a friendly, responsive host. We enjoyed the desert landscape, birds and stars.

This casita is situated amidst a saguaro forest nestled amongst some small peaks. It enjoys beautiful sunrises and proximity to hiking trails. It is some distance from town, but if what you are looking for the quintessential southwestern scenery, it doesn’t get much better than this!

Super clean private casita. Nice towels, comfy bed, great kitchen. Loved sitting on the porch in the rain. Great host. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay amongst the saguaros. Perfect place to enjoy all the wildlife the desert has to offer. It was clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was enjoyable in the evenings and early morning. Would definitely stay here again.
