Open the Azure Gate to a place where you can dream ... a desert oasis of quiet beauty and birdsong. Brightly designed Mexican tiles, saltillo tile floors, colorful walls, courtyards with splashing fountains, and ten exquisite gates made by artist Simon Donovan.
Relax by its pool and watch all the birds. Explore meandering pathways. Fall asleep in one of the beautiful bedrooms to a desert lullaby of hooting owls and yipping coyotes.
Awaken to a sunrise song of cooing doves, squawking quail, and the fragrant anticipation of a delicious gourmet breakfast.
