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.

From the day I reserved Villa Floresco to the moment I checked out, I only had great things to say about Villa Floresco. The pictures perfectly represent this studio and the view is to die for.

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!

Fantastic Stay in Santa Barbara
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy our stay at this place. Mindy was great! She made us instantly feel comfortable. She was helpful in giving us advice on things to do as well as places to eat etc.. during our stay. Great little touches such as a nice bottle of wine waiting for us. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We had quick access to all the fun things around Santa Barbara. It was truly like having a little villa in Florence. We had amazing sunsets every night. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Unforgettable Stay at a Stunning Santa Barbara Villa
My husband and I recently stayed at this stunning villa nestled in the Santa Barbara mountainside, and it was an unforgettable experience. The villa offered breathtaking sunset views and was beautifully updated with high-end appliances, furniture, and decor. The hostess was incredible, providing us with excellent recommendations that made our stay even more enjoyable. Our time there was both comfortable and heartwarming, and we left feeling thoroughly relaxed. I highly recommend this villa and look forward to the opportunity to stay there again.

Sorry this took awhile for me to post, but here it is! -Mindy, the owner of the proerty was amazing. She will greet you when you arrive personally and show you around whether night or day. Makes herself available most of every day for any questions or suggestions about the site and the city. Provides you with a bottle of Cab Sauv wine as part of the welcome! -Place is comfortable, well stocked bathroom as well as kitchen (Kitchen I never used cuz I didn't want to make a mess) which has stove/cookery/microwave/fridge/freezer. -Sofa is nice. Bed is king sized with a lot of pillows and comfortable. -Mindy provides a self-made guide along with several periodicals about the city for sights, restaurants, and even nightlife for you to peruse through. -Extra blankets and first aid kit in unit which is nice. -Suitcase stand which is very clever. -Long balcony gives you a nice view of the backside of the hill where you can see a small part of the ocean in the distance. -Unit is separate from the main property so you can be loud even at night and likely you'll never be heard. -Parking is tricky you'll have to park on the driveway between a wall and one of the owners cars but I had no problem. -Location is nice. It's in a quiet neighborhood high up in a hill. Just minutes to the main city and piers/beach. -AC is powerful! Works great. -TV is 32-inch Samsung has youtube and apple tv. -Wifi is pretty strong and stable. Would I stay again? ABSOLUTELY! Thank you Mindy for everything!

My husband and 8 month old stayed here for several nights during our wedding wedding. It was everything we could have asked for and more. The VIEW is spectacular, I mean really incredible. You feel like you're whisked away to an Italian countryside. The unit itself is very private and has all the amenities you'd need. The bed IS SO COMFY (we even checked the mattress type so we could get something similar). And the décor is flawless. Loved the high ceilings, as well. Everything is actually just perfect. Mindy was super communicative and helpful. We will definitely be back, this place is a true gem.
