Our recent stay at El Presidio can be summed up in one word: perfect! It's hard to imagine a more welcoming and gracious hostess than Patti. Once we stepped into the courtyard of this lovely inn we were transported to a secluded and relaxing paradise. Our only regret was that we were unable to stay longer. The fountain! The hummingbirds!... More

Coming from England we are used to cold, rainy weather, so the heat of south Arizona was a nice surprise. However, sometimes it did seem too hot! It was lovely to be able to return to El Presidio Inn and relax in the beautiful flowery courtyard with its shady corners and tinkling fountain. The ceiling fan and air conditioning in... More

We spent four nights at El Presidio and were very pleased all the way around. The location was convenient to restaurants and downtown sites. Our rooms were cute and comfortable; the courtyard and gardens were a great place to sit and read or relax. The breakfasts were delicious and beautifully served. Patty is a charming and accommodating hostess. Thank you... More

Shangri-La is a fictional place from the 1933 novel Lost Horizon and it fits El Presidio perfectly. It is an earthly paradise surrounded by mountains, a happy place, isolated from the outside world with a beautiful garden, and a lovely water fountain. You can sit and relax there after a long day of sightseeing. The owner Patti, is a wonderful... More

We recently had the pleasure of spending a week in the Tucson area, and were delighted to have been led to El Presidio, without doubt the loveliest B&B where we've ever stayed. The charm of the place lies not only in its beautiful inner courtyard garden, or the comfortable and tastefully appointed rooms, or even the delicious breakfasts - never... More

I was recently wisked away for a stay in downtown Tucson. Who would have thought that a place so restful and charming could be found so close to where I had worked for many years! The patio filled with trees and flowers is so colorful, you almost feel like you are in Mexico. There is so much to see and... More

This is a beautiful property in the historic district of Tucson, within easy walking distance to downtown and historic sites. The owner/ hostess, Patti, is very warm and welcoming. There are only 4 units and guests eat at a common table for breakfast, which makes for a cozy atmosphere. Patti's breakfasts are tasty and generous. Our room was much larger... More

Spent two nights there and had a wonderful time. The garden would be worth it on it's own, but the rooms and breakfast were also top notch. The innkeeper is efficient and helpful.Great location for exploring downtown or attending an event. After a play at the music hall we were able to stroll back without having to worry about driving...

We chose El Presidio Inn on the internet and didn't know anything about it beyond what the site describes and what previous reviewers had written. We were not disappointed! Our first glimpse of the beautiful courtyard sold us completely. Even while seeing Tucson skyscrapers in the distance, we felt completely secluded in this peaceful, lovely spot with plenty of seating,... More
