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!

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.

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.

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.
