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.

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!

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.
