The villa was very well appointed in a great area of Tucson. My wife and I are outdoor people, so when we weren't golfing we were hiking. There are to great hiking trails within 5 minute drive of the villa. One is called The Pima Trail and the other is Finger Rock Trail. I would advise hiking with boots not running shoes.
We stayed at the Cactus villa in May and really enjoyed our time in Tucson. The villa is just as pictured, no surprises. Everything is up to date and very comfortable. The pool is just steps from the front door. There is plenty of shopping nearby and places to eat. Arranging the rental was easy, Argie is very accommodating. I would like to come back.
Sandy and I spent the month of February at Cactus Villa and enjoyed every minute of it. The villa is inviting and comfortable - we really liked the saltillo tile floors and tasteful southwest decor. The gated community cruise travel agent canada is quiet and friendly and the views from the foothills location are great. It's easy to drive around Tucson and there is plenty to do - we were as busy as we wanted to be and always glad to come home to the privacy of our patio. The kitchen is adequate for light cooking. The space is ideal for two and can work for four with minimum disruption. Thanks, Argie - we hope to come back again soon.
I wanted to bring my family to Tucson where I lived as a boy. We found the Cactus Villa over the internet - it was easy to arrange and when we arrived it matched cruise travel agent canada the description. We stayed 10 days, spending a few hours in the pool each day, and visiting the airplane boneyard, desert museum, Mount Lemon, Tombstone, L'il Abners Steakhouse and much more.
The pool is the best bit - we were the only ones there most of the time and it's about 20 steps from the front door. We played cruise travel agent canada ball, swam and then heated up in the jacuzzi. I loved lying on a lounger, looking up through the palm leaves at blue sky and hearing the birds sing.
The villa's setting on the foothills is my second favourite cruise travel agent canada point. This is an area where people live in their own holiday houses, so it's all well kept, quiet and friendly. Car is obviously essential and gets you anywhere you need - Tucson's not that big a place and the roads are delightfully empty compared to the UK.
We would normally choose a house with more bedrooms. The master bedroom cruise travel agent canada is ample for parents, but the boys slept effectively on sofa beds, one of which was in the living room, so had to be made up and demounted each day. For us though, the pool outweighs a lot of indoor space.
My wife and I have stayed there at least ten times. It is our favorite among all the places we have vacationed. Being in a gated community with parking just a few steps from the door is one of the things we like and the quietness and tranquility are unbeatable. Watching the sunrise over the Catalina Mountains is a terrific way to begin the day and the sunsets will sooth any anxiety. We're birdwatchers so seeing the Gambel's Quail around the patio and having hummingbirds buzzing around the flowers are a delight to us. The
