    We really enjoyed our stay. The home was a wonderful place to stay for a few days while we visited the area for family weekend at the University of Arizona. The host was very welcoming and gave us a little history on the home his father built.

    We were in Tucson for our daughter’s graduation. Dino’s home was the perfect getaway for us. It was an easy drive to campus, located in peaceful foothills, close to shopping and grocery stores. The home is lovely, very comfortable furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, awesome yard. Dino is great host and great communicator. We would definitely rent this home again!

    Unmatched view, superbly designed mid century modern home. Excellent host, lives in separate portion of the house. Ideal for a couple, with small pet or child. Great location, expansive pool and yard.

    The home and views of the mountains are magnificent. Great space in the back to sit and gaze. The home is well appointed, bed and bedding so comfortable and Dino was a gracious and helpful host. Hope to return.

    My husband and I stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every moment of our trip. The mid-century modern home, designed by the father of our host, was beautiful, well-furnished and clearly sighted to take advantage of the mountain views from both in and outside of the house. We watched the mountains and sky change colors every night. Dino was an extraordinary host. Prior to arriving we had several text and telephone exchanges that were very helpful. On arrival we met Dino for only a few minutes as he had just received news of a family emergency. He left shortly after we met him and was gone during our entire stay. Despite travel, time differences and the grave nature of his family emergency, he communicated with me regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our trip. I felt I came to know him personally throughout this period and was very impressed by his thoughtfulness and attention. I highly recommend this place. In fact, I have already recommended it to two different friends who often spend time in Tucson! I

    Yes,we must say…it was one of the best stays we have ever had and it’s the 4th time that we have come to Tucson. The house is designed as an architecture magazine. Dino was a perfect host,always available if needed. If we come back next winter, this house will be our 1st choice. Martine & Claude
