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.

Of all the vacation homes in which we have stayed, Villa Floresco is unrivalled. The well-appointed and clean house is in a very quiet neighborhood, and affords spectacular mountain views. To our taste, Mindy is a five-star host - no reservations.

Beautiful villa, wonderful hospitality
I loved staying at Villa Floresco. Mindy was a wonderful host. It was clear she has thought of everything she'd like her guests to have & experience. I felt very safe, comfortable, and relaxed there. Beyond the views, the bed and the shower were fantastic. I'll be staying here whenever I visit Santa Barbara again. Thank you, Mindy!

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.

The view is the art-
The overall feel is comfortable elegance. Soft colors and everything you need in one late open space. The view of the mountains is an activity of its own.

Wonderful place!
We had a wonderful stay in this little place. Beautiful views, easy communication with host, listing was very accurate. It's a little out of the way but if you don't mind driving 10 min to State Street you'll be happy here. Very quiet and lovely grounds.
