About this property

Welcome to The Lavender House, a 1940s historic Tucson home situated in the desirable San Clemente neighborhood. Lovingly remodeled using old-world materials and techniques, the Lavender House features handmade Moroccan tiling, a vintage soaking tub, lime wash walls, original oak floors, and marble countertops. Enjoy outdoor dining and grilling, make a fire in the fire pit, or lounge around the pool where you'll feel transported to the Mediterranean beneath the old olive trees.

The Lavender House is for anyone who wants a central location in Tucson and prefers understated luxury, charm, and tranquility. This is not a "copy/paste" VRBO -- artwork is original and furniture has been collected over time by the owners from designers, artisans, and antique stores across the west coast.

BEDROOMS
The house is divided into two wings offering privacy for you and your group. Two bedrooms (a king and a queen) as well as a bathroom with shower, sit on the poolside of the house with views of bamboo, bougainvillea, and the pool area.

The primary bedroom (king) with an ensuite bathroom sits on the east end of the home and features views of a small, private courtyard with creeping roses. The bathroom area includes a walk-in shower, vintage soaking tub, and walk-in closet.

Each bedroom is equipped with high-quality linens, 4 down pillows, a down duvet, a ceiling fan, and light-blocking shades. Guests often compliment the comfort of the beds.

OUTSIDE AREAS
The garden offers various spaces to enjoy; take a dip in the pool, sunbathe on the loungers, have dinner alfresco at one of two dining tables, gather around the BBQ for outdoor cooking, or cozy-up next to the fire pit. The surrounding garden has been landscaped with a Mediterranean flair, from lavender, sage and rosemary to pomegranate, citrus, and old olive trees.

-Pillow-top/memory foam mattresses with 100% cotton linens, down duvet, and down pillows.

A Tucson bungalow that wouldn’t be put of place in Provence, France

Wonderful oasis close to downtown Tucson. Spent almost as much time outside the house as inside. The grounds and pool are impeccable. The interior design and art took us to French country. Bravo!

Lovely property

My husband, mother, daughter, and I came to Tucson for my mother's birthday to visit a friend and stayed in the Lavender House. The house and the surrounding property were beautiful, well-maintained, and well-stocked with everything you could think of the. The beds were super comfortable. The furniture and decor was high quality and more than you would expect from a VRBO. It was nice because my mother had the master bedroom/bathroom, which were on the opposite side of the house from the bedrooms where my husband and I and our daughter slept, so there was some privacy. We enjoyed spending time in the backyard on the lawn chairs and had lunch at the back table one day. My daughter even attempted to get into the pool even though it was still a bit early in the season for it. Sophia, the owner, was very communicative and responsive. We had a great stay and would highly recommend!

Tucson Lavender House

Very nice, quiet, comfortable place. Interesting historic neighborhood. Kitchen excellent. Trader Joes and Sprouts 5-minute drive. Also, lots of restaurants close by. Good central location for just about everything. Anywhere in the city, including airport, less than 20 minute drive. Multiple mountain and desert hiking trailheads less than 30 minutes away (Madera Canyon just under 1-hour drive). Only complaint, it was unseasonably cold so we did not use back yard or pool. I think those would have been great if the weather had been warmer.

Charming and Convenient Property in Tucson

The house is charming, comfortable, spacious and very clean. It was quick and easy to get to downtown restaurants as well as the beautiful natural areas on the outskirts. We were impressed with all the seating arrangements in the private yard and around the pool deck. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked and the appliances are all quite new and in good working order. The beds were divine. One issue -- communicating through the VRBO app, which continued to be a challenge. Sophia worked around this and we were able to message one another via email and phone messaging. Overall -- I would recommend this property for small groups and families who would like the comforts of home while visiting Tucson.
