Arizona: Winter retreat
Rancho Sonora Inn and RV Park, 9198 N. Highway 79, Florence 85232; (800) 205-6817, www.ranchosonora.com. “We revisited this inn after seven years and found it -- situated in an oasis of saguaros and other desert plants -- even more delightful than the first time. Even a dreary winter day could not dampen our joy at staying in one of the antique-furnished rooms. Sumptuous continental breakfast. Close to Casa Grande Ruins National Monument and Columbia University’s Biosphere 2 Center.” Double rooms start at $69.
