Introduction
Imagine that you have a very well-to-do friend, with exquisite taste, who owns a large, private villa in the Tucson Mountains (think carefree). This friend, being a very good friend, offers you the use of the villa and its staff, who have been instructed to do anything your heart desires: arrange flights, limos, massages, gourmet breakfast, dinner, whatever - anything to make you blissfully happy. That's La Zarzuela, "the operetta," in a nutshell.
...It sits high on a hill surrounded by saguaros and is just down a dirt road from Tucson Mountain Park, which is every bit as beautiful as Saguaro National Park... The pool and hot tub are built on the edge of the desert, while courtyards and patios have splashes of colorful flowers in their landscaping - Frommers Review
One of only two inns in all of Southern Arizona that have been awarded as a Select Registry Inn.
Lew Harper, an aspiring chef, and Cliff Aberham, with nearly 40 years in hotel management,
work in accord to deliver a level of service that rivals that of a five-star hotel.
Expansive covered patios are furnished as comfortably as any family room, down to poolside lounging. And the pool and spa look as though they extend right into the surrounding desert.
Fresh coffee is ready at 7:30 am, and breakfast is served from 8:15 - 9:00 am. Breakfast is a gourmet, full course meal including: baked fruit, fresh homemade pastries and a hot baked dish. On Sunday morning, a 4 course brunch is served. The only complaint about Zarzuela's food is that too much is served.
La Zarzuela offers full concierge and travel planning services, including flight and car reservations, itinerary planning, picnic lunches, reservations at fine local restaurants that best meet your needs, and a limousine service is available at a nominal price. La Zarzuela is a magnificent backdrop for special events. We can readily host and cater functions for small groups up to 50 people, or host corporate meetings and seminars of up to 24 people.
The Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture resonates Southwestern Sonoran Desert culture, with cored concrete floors and walls painted in vibrant hues. With five lovely casitas, La Zarzuela is small enough to provide you the personal level of service we are committed to, yet large enough for the vacationer to meet new people, if you wish.
All casitas are approximately 400 sq. ft., have private entrances and patios overlooking the Sonoran Desert, a private bath (with tub or shower) and appointed with: refrigerator, coffee maker, hair dryer, TV video and CD player. Three casitas have queen beds, one has a king bed and another has two twin beds, and all receive daily maid service. Gourmet breakfast is included.
La Zarzuela is perfectly situated in the desert; only 20 minutes from the Tucson airport, 60 miles from Nogales, Mexico, 4 hours to Sedona and 5 hours from the Grand Canyon. Tucson has long been a favorite of artists, boasting many galleries, local theaters and rich history of divergent European, Mexican and Indian cultures.
