About this property

Prime Central Location! Historic Sanctuary Steps From It All!

This property has been rented with myself as host for many years and is now offered exclusively on VRBO for the first time. Calle Altar Suite offers a private, soothing atmosphere with informal elegance. Newly refurbished with fully-equipped kitchen, modern appliances, and well-appointed furnishings. Hotel luxury standards await featuring premium quality bed linens, hypoallergenic pillows, and spa-grade towels. Totally self-contained, the suite is entered through a private entrance at the back of a gorgeous Spanish revival style home in the historic El Montevideo Estates.

Experience the southwestern lifestyle with period plaster walls, clay tile roof, wrought iron, deep red stained concrete floors, and western furnishings. High ceilings create an open, light feel aided by picture windows that overlook the outdoor covered patio featuring wrought iron furniture. Large yard, masonry walled with mature cactus and flowering plantings. The Casita shares a common wall with the main house but has its own entrance and exclusive courtyard. A private sanctuary conveniently located in central Tucson!

Walking distance to San Clemente Center (Azian BBQ & Sushi, Subway, UPS Store, Smashburger), Claim Jumper, Reid Park & Zoo, Randolph Golf Course, and Hi-Corbett Field. Conveniently located near U of A, El Con Mall (Cinemark Theatres, Home Depot, Target), and much more!

We had a great stay! Liz was very responsive and the casita was lovely. Just the right size for my husband and I while visiting our daughter for parents weekend. It was clean, quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Completely Satisfied

Peaceful Sanctuary was indeed that. Despite its being attached to the owners house you hardly knew that she was there. The casita was clean. Though small, it provided what is needed for 1 or 2 travelers. Liz was friendly and responded quickly to my texts. I stayed for a week and will stay there again.

A wonderful little place

This casita is a great place for a couple. It was clean, comfortable, well equipped and we needed nothing extra. Outdoor space is provided, as is off street parking, although if you have a long vehicle it may not fit completely off street. Communication with the owner was great and questions were responded to quickly. We had an opportunity to speak with her one morning and found her very pleasant to talk to. In the nearby area are several restaurants and shopping stores which was very convenient.
