Lovely room and exactly as it is pictured. The host thought of everything! Beautiful views! Only concern was the steepness and length of stairs. Although I'm fit, at 78 yrs. and carrying down a suitcase, it was a challenge! The host was unable to be there when we arrived but she was immediately available by phone. However it took us awhile to work out how to operate the TV.

We absolutely loved our time at the villa! The check in was smooth and easy as Mindy greeted us upon arrival and walked us through what we needed to know. She was very easy to communicate with and immediately responsive. The location is secluded and private. Bed was comfy, shower hot, kitchen had everything we needed. We loved it and would recommend anyone to stay there!

Amazing stay! Beautifully decorated and extremely clean space with a perfect balcony with a view. Very considerate and hospitable hosts. We appreciated all the extras… wine, lemons and welcome on arrival, beach towels and chairs and the use of the laundry room. Everything we needed or even wanted during our stay was thought of and was there for us. Convenient location. Great recommendations. What a peaceful stay. Thank you, Mindy, Ian and fam!

Stunning Views in quiet neighborhood

Lovely well appointed studio. The owners have optimized the space through tasteful furnishings, kitchen supplies and decor. My husband and I were quite comfortable and able to easily prepare simple meals (mostly lunches). The balcony is quite lovely to sit outside. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful.

Epic and ahmazing

Mindy was awesome, let me start there! She made us feel welcomed and gave us a bottle of wine, fresh lemons from her lemon tree along with a welcome card. This villa was unbelievably classy and the interior design alone was impressive. I have traveled all over the world and this is one of the most exquisite views I have ever been privileged enough to see. God’s art was ever changing moment by moment! The attention to detail and all the little things made this a place to remember. I would suggest renting a vehicle to explore all of the wonderful places around Santa Barbara!! Book this place now, I will be back! Thank you!!

Perfect Santa Barbara stay

Villa Floresco is a fantastic spot to base out of when exploring the Santa Barbara area. The unit is spotless, well provisioned, impeccably decorated and has unbelievable sunset views, and we were even tipped off by Mindy about an early morning rocket launch that was easily visible from the deck.

An absolute gem

Villa Floresco is a stunningly beautiful gem tucked away in a quiet hillside. Views are definitely reminiscent of Tuscany. The place is cutely furnished and had all amenities you need. The bed is comfortable. The balcony was lovely to relax on and watch the sunset.The area is QUIET, very peaceful. Quick access to downtown, the beach, or beautiful trails nearby.Mindy is an extremely kind and gracious host. Her communication was stellar and we felt very warmly welcomed. 11/10 would absolutely stay here again!

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.

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!
