Casa Paloma B&B0

It is with total pleasure to recommend Katie & Ray's Casa Paloma B & B to anyone desiring a uniquely pleasurable experience in the Tubac area. These two very special people perform a delightful blend of hospitality in a personal and friendly manner that sets them apart from the ordinary B & B. Their hospitality is enhanced by the peaceful setting of the expansive property and their special companion, Emmy, even adds her warm and friendly black lab personality to the total experience. Lastly, its difficult to do justice to the delectable breakfasts provided after a comfortable night's sleep, but one has to experience Ray's gourmet concoctions to taste their delicious flavor. Simply stated for the entire package: 10 Star !!

Katie and Ray were amazing hosts! Their hospitality knew no limits. There was not a single amenity that I could think of, that they do not provide as a matter of course. The historic building was beautiful and well-maintained. The decor is lovely and makes you want to linger in the various "public" areas. The multi-course home-cooked breakfast was the best I've ever had at a B&B. And all dietary restrictions were respected. It was a very peaceful and inviting setting -- I would stay longer next time!

There was NOTHING that I didn't like. The only reason I did not rate the location as high as everything else, is that it is a bit out of the way. If you are going to Tubac, I'm sure there is no better place to stay. But I do not know if there are other attractions are in this area besides Tubac. That said, Casa Paloma is a destination in itself!

This bnb exceeded our expectations. The gardens were lush with plentiful birds and areas to relax. The indoor areas were spacious and beautifully renovated and decorated maintaining its historical charm. The breakfast was delicious with a daily change of offerings and fresh fruit, juice and assorted jams, preserves and a variety of syrups to go with the Belgium waffles with bacon or sausage we had one day. The hosts were friendly and responded to questions we has without hesitation. The large suite was worth the extra cost, We intend to return with family or friends. Joe and Linda

Casa Paloma Bed & Breakfast far exceeded our expectations. Katie and Ray make the standard high for Bed & Breakfasts! From complimentary teas, coffee and biscotti in the room, to wine, beer and snacks available at any time. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious! Katie and Ray are warm, welcoming and see to your every need! Very, very personable! The grounds of the house are quite relaxing, inviting, and peaceful! A bird watchers paradise! We will most definitely be back! I highly, highly recommend Casa Paloma! Much better than a resort, for us!

What an amazing first ever experience staying in B&B! Ray and Katie were the most amazing hosts/chefs we could ever dream of meeting and truly enjoying. Our accommodations were first class with every possible comfort awaiting our arrival including a delicious birthday cheesecake and sparkling wine in our room. The grounds were immaculate and the breakfasts were so delicious. My dietary needs were heeded beyond my expectations! What delicious plates were served with such attention to presentation. We especially loved chatting with our hosts who are fascinating and truly focused on providing a magnificent experience for their guests. We feel so fortunate to have this first B&B experience be the best--who could top Casa Paloma?

We have no negatives. It would have been fun to be able to use the shortcut to our destination but our host contacted us prior to our arrival that the water was too deep to safely cross the water in our vehicle so we wisely took the longer, but safer, route to the lovely country home.

There are so many special qualities in this lovely B&B. The first that comes to mind are Katie and Ray, the owners, who are the most gracious and helpful hosts I’ve experienced. It sounds cliche, but I felt like I was staying with relatives. Here’s an example… Peter, my partner, had an upset stomach and decided to skip breakfast, which you would never, ever want to do at Casa Paloma. The food and creativity are fantastic. I didn’t want him to miss out, so I asked if I could take a few things back to our room. Katie said she’d bring something by in a few minutes. Five minutes later, she knocked at the door and when I opened it, there she was presenting a large tray all set with breakfast, accompanied by a pot of tea with a selection of tea bags. Gracious, right?! There was a kitchen and family room right outside our room where we could find snacks and a bit of wine. Just like a favorite relative would provide. I really loved these people and their beautiful home.

Of the three available rooms, one doesn’t have a bath right in the room, but just outside the door. It worked out ok, especially because it was private and solely for us. However, we didn’t remember seeing that information in our room description. Maybe that’s a good thing, though, because it might have affected our desire to stay at Casa Paloma, which we’re sure glad we didn’t miss!

Katie and Ray were absolutely amazing. I was spoilt more than I could have imagined. The breakfasts were fit for a queen, they generously shared their best wines, fireplace, hot tub, advice and recommendations, and overall friendly conversations. The room and guesthouse in general were so comfortable, and warm, with an electrical blanket and even robes included.

There was nothing not to like!

We are particular and seldom do we gush about lodgings. Casa Paloma is nothing short of exceptional and an amazing value. There is not a single detail overlooked to make sure that your stay is peaceful, comfortable and that you are well fed. The breakfasts are delicious, substantial and beautifully presented. The hosts are a delight to interact with, but never intrusive. We would not hesitate to recommend this B&B to everyone we know! Thank you so much for a very lovely stay.

Absolutely nothing.

The Casa Paloma was gracious and private, in a lovely setting. The accommodations were stellar, nearly every need anticipated. But the best was the owners, Ray and Katie. They were friendly and helpful and interesting to talk with. They were willing to alter breakfast plans for me at the last minute and made us feel at home. I would recommend Casa Paloma to anyone looking for a retreat south of Tucson.

The tub/shower in our bath was a little difficult for a person with uncertain balance and mobility to navigate.

Casa Paloma is a beautiful place. The Mourning Suite was large and luxurious. This gorgeous house sits on shady acres perfectly manicured with multiple seating areas. Both Ray and Katie were the most gracious hosts and the breakfasts each day were outstanding. we hope to return before too long.
