Wonderful Stay at Villa Floresco
Very nice stay for four nights at Villa Floresco. Online description is very accurate with one large room and en-suite bath. Everything is in top condition. Stunning views to the mountains and overlooking the city and ocean. Property shows clear pride of ownership. Very convenient to hiking trails, about 10 minutes to downtown restaurants and 15 to the harbor.

We had an amazing stay. Beautiful views. Beautiful villa. Even better than we expected! It didn’t feel like a vacation rental, it felt like a real home. It was so cozy. The attention to detail was much appreciated. Great communication with owners. 100% would stay again.

Utopia!
Villa Floresco is truly special! From the views of the surrounding hills, you could picture yourself in one of many beautiful places in the world. The inside and out are designed by someone (Mindy) who has an experienced eye for every aspect of country living. The getaway had everything that was needed for our stay and if we had wanted anything else I’m sure it would have been provided. The home was on top of a quiet hill but still only minutes from downtown S.B.. It was also less the an hours drive from to dozens of wineries, and the drive was beautiful with miles of grape vines and an assortment of fruit trees on both sides of the road. Mindy was a great owner to communicate with and even helped us with our bags! Next time when we’re staying in the area we will make sure that we have more time to stay at this treasure!

Absolutely perfect stay. Our host Mindy was just lovely and really created a personalized touch. The space we stayed in was small, but so efficiently designed. We had a very comfortable stay! Every little detail was paid attention to and considered. It felt like we were in Europe, on a secluded mountain top. We enjoyed all of the decor as well. Just a beautifully designed space overall. The view was the best part, just stunning. We just enjoyed sitting on the patio watching the sky and mountains. Absolutely recommend.

We had wonderful time. The space is very much as described and as the pictures show. Mindy, the host, could not have been more helpful. You really are up in the hills above Santa Barbara. It’s quiet. There are stars, hummingbirds. It’s beautiful. And everything Santa Barbara has to offer is ten minutes away.

What a gem! Mindy is a top-notch host and takes such pride in making this a perfect vacation spot. She has a gorgeous property with splashes on beautiful flowers and a relaxing atmosphere. We appreciated her warm greeting and efficient orientation, as well as the generous personalization of our room. The views are stunning and made me feel like I was drinking wine on a hillside in Italy. Perfect for morning coffee, too. Between the luxe king sized bed and the quiet setting, I enjoyed the best sleep I've had in weeks!
