When is the best time to go to Las Positas?

The best time to go to Las Positas is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) months. These periods offer pleasant weather, with warm days and cool evenings, ideal for exploring the outdoor attractions. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. The vineyards are particularly picturesque during these times, whether budding in spring or displaying their rich colours in autumn. For those interested in wine tasting and outdoor activities like hiking or cycling, spring provides lush landscapes and comfortable temperatures, making it easy to spend full days enjoying the region. Many local events and farmers' markets also begin to flourish in the spring. Autumn is another excellent choice, especially for food and wine enthusiasts. This is harvest season, so you'll often find special events at local vineyards and restaurants.

Top Las Positas Hotel Reviews

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great little boutique hotel!"

The Leta Santa Barbara Goleta, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at The Leta in Goleta was such a lovely experience. The hotel strikes that perfect balance between relaxed California ease and thoughtfully curated style, everything feels intentional without ever trying too hard. Bed was great, the pillows too. Nice products in the room. Very relaxing stay. Overall, it’s the kind of place that feels like a mini escape without needing to go far. I’d absolutely come back."

The Milo

8/10 Good

"Over many stays, there have been things I've come to expect, I mean, they have been there every visit, like a dresser. My clothes were everywhere because there was nowhere to put them. There was a wardrobe with five hangers, but no shelf or drawers for folded clothes or delicate items. There was no desk or table, and the comfy chairs were gone, too, as were the phone charger and clocks. The heat didn't work, and the new drapes are thinner, so they didn't block out outside noise as well. There is a lot of noise out there. Just not the same."

Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here several times and have found the beds to be comfortable with a good mattress and lots of pillows. The other times we stayed, the rooms seemed new and fresh and clean. The room we had this time had an older carpet and a musty smell and was in a corner without a lot of light. Next time we will specify the room we want. The breakfast was not impressive with mostly sugary pastries, cold and hot cereals. There aren't a lot of healthy options except for some fruit. But it met our needs, was quiet, and the staff is friendly and helpful."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully remodeled and upgraded. The rooms are not very large, yet they are well designed and comfortable. The little details, including tea, coffee, and water bottles were appreciated. My only complaint is that the windows are not sound proof, so if you are on a lower floor and facing State Street it can be a bit loud until 10-11P. The lobby bar/ lounge was enjoyable for an evening snack and beverage. Parking options, besides valet, would be a great add-on option."
