It brings great joy and peace to have spent such a wonderful night at this amazing place! We are behind blessed and grateful for the hospitality shown here. The Villa Floresco is a well-refined and welcome respite. It is no small wonder that this home deserves its praise. Like the Wi-Fi name, this spot is a slice of Rivendell itself. The Paningsoro Family shall without doubt be eager to return once again. Until then, we depart with thankful hearts and warm smiles - Cameron and Lizet Paningsoro

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Floresco! Mindy and Ian were so friendly and welcoming; Mindy even left us a personal note with a bottle of local wine and lemons from their tree. The villa is gorgeous. It is beautifully appointed, stocked with everything you need, and very comfortable. The view of the canyon out to the ocean is stunning, especially at sunset. We were sad that we had only booked one night and had to continue on our trip. Next time we will stay longer! Definitely recommend.

This VRBO was beautifully situated on a hill with valley and an ocean view, The room was clean, the host lovely and warm. The bed was so comfy! We slept well! We were met by Sena who oriented us to the property, then later by Mindy, the host. It was VERY quiet and private. You couldn’t walk into town but it was a short 5-10 minute drive into Santa Barbara. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine provided by Mindy and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The kitchen had what we needed, small but functional. We would definitely stay here again! Mindy was wonderful and we felt very safe and cared for!!

A beautiful space with many small details thoughtfully curated by the owner to make this an extraordinarily charming and cozy space. We were here to drop our daughter off at college, so we didn't spend much time in the space, but the host was fantastic and accommodating. Would definitely rent from her again. It's very quite, with a dark, starlit night sky and a serene view with a cute balcony to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The host left us a bottle of wine, which was a nice touch.

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.

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.
