(6) Boise State at (4) TCU

As the New Year begins all college football fans look forward to The 39th Annual Fiesta Bowl played in sunny Glendale, Arizona.  What is exciting football fans nationwide is No. 3 TCU (Texas Christian University) and No. 6 Boise State will meet in marking the first time a BCS game other than the championship game has a match-up of unbeaten teams. The rivalry is set as The Horned Frogs and Broncos played in the Poinsettia Bowl last season. TCU won 17-16 to hand Boise State its only loss of the season. Kickoff will be on January 4th at 8:00PM EST and simulcast on ESPN Radio and Fox Television.

If you have tickets to the game, congratulations as the Bowl Game is SOLD OUT. Even if you do not have tickets, you can watch the game on the big screen in one of our luxury vacation rentals in the Scottsdale area. Come out for New Year’s and stay for the Fiesta Bowl.

Kierland Urban Flat: For those who wish for the urban environment while in Arizona, the Kierland Urban Flat will exceed your expectations. So much more than a hotel room or a suite, the Kierland Flat provides guests the opportunity to sleep 7 within an expansive 1,600 SF 2 bedroom abode coupled with amenities usually associated with the finest hotels and resorts. Guests will enjoy the services of the concierge, a fully equipped exercise facility, a heated lap pool, spa, delivery from Morton’s Steakhouse and golfing at the neighboring Keirland Resort and spa.

DC Ranch Retreat: One of the beauties of the southwest during the winter months is lifestyle which can be indoors or out. The DC Ranch is the perfect vacation rental for those who wish to enjoy the winter season in Arizona. While the 4 bedroom interior will comfort and delight, the private outdoor space is the crown jewel of this desert estate. Blurring the lines between interior and exterior, the patios which surround the home are as inviting as the luxury interior. For the chef, the barbeque island satisfies the instinct to cook on an open-flame under the star-lit night. For the water enthusiasts, the pebble-tec pool and adjacent spa insure hydration protection from the dry desert climate.

Fire and Sky:  The owners of this Tuscan Villa in the E. Scottsdale area have truly incorporated the elements of Greek Mythology into the design of this eight bedroom luxury estate within the community of Fountain Hills. Guests of this magnificent estate will enjoy the luxury of three spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms in addition to an adjacent casita that offers yet another full living space with bath and bedroom providing flexibility not usually associated with vacation villas.  Inside guest will enjoy the luxury living spaces including the all Viking equipped kitchen where Wolfgang Puck would feel right at home. For the movie buffs, the 12-seat home theater is your personal screening room; buttered popcorn of course is available. And for the “hustler” of the party, the billiards room will impress. Yet, we suggest the ultimate feature is the outdoor pool. Located at the lower level at the edge of the patio lies a snake-like strip of stone stretching the length of the patio ablaze with a warming and illuminating fire. Accompanied by two fiery sentinels standing watch over the infinity edge of the pool, fire controlled by man, meets the Fire in the Sky provided by Mother Nature.

Bramasole: Bramasole in Italian means “yearning for the sun” and it may also strike a familiar chord because “Bramasole” was the name of Frances Mayes fixer-upper in “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Here in Arizona is another Bramasole which is a sun-kissed estate in Paradise Valley. A private villa of exquisite grandeur and brilliant design, this estate includes over 22,000 sq. ft. under roof and nearly 13,000 sq. ft. of actual living space. A classic swimming pool and jacuzzi highlight a backyard with a Cabana and fireplace, and well covered in cooling green spaces. Bramasole includes, upon request, a full range of concierge and services to cater to the most discriminating of travelers, and with the ability to sleep 12 in absolute blissfulness, this unique private villa is the ideal getaway for larger groups seeking the very best in luxury accommodations.
