 Our Virtual Tour
No longer Tucson’s best kept secret, El Rancho Merlita was chosen as the 2009 Tucson Museum of Art Designer Show House and featured as one of Tucson’s Treasures on KMSB Fox 11.
Vacation at the beautiful El Rancho Merlita Ranch House Bed and Breakfast Inn … a Tucson treasure located in Tucson, Arizona, near Saguaro National Park East.
Check us out on the Tucson Treasures Show! Host Gina Trunzo says, “It is so peaceful and serene
out here. It does make you want to slow
down and calm down."
Begin the day with a piping hot mug of our signature El Rancho Merlita coffee blend – roasted in Tucson and ground fresh daily. Our hearty and varied breakfast menus are inspired by the rich culinary heritage of our region and Southern Arizona’s many artisan food crafters. Cuddle up in our soft Egyptian cotton sheets and luxurious Museum of New Mexico Collection bedding couture. Soak in the whirlpool as you watch the moon rise, or challenge a companion to a game of table tennis or horseshoes. Grab a book or a movie from our extensive Western collection. Schedule a yoga session or a massage in our private studio, a short stroll away through our desert meditation gardens. Or simply relax at the Ranch House under deep shaded porches with panoramic views of the Catalina Mountains.
