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.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Las Positas hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Las Positas hotel?

Top Las Positas Hotel Reviews

The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff. Any needs addressed promptly."

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good

"Had a last minute need for a hotel in the area, we love Carpenteria , so when I saw a room for 150 for a Saturday evening I jumped on it. I wasn’t expecting much for the price but was happily surprised. If you take bikes it will be an easy ride to the beach, and close to many delicious restaurants. Will definitely go back."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great stay! The staff was always so responsive, helpful and informative. Lots of accommodations and excellent location, near to town, restaurants and the beach. It’s a well maintained property and it was always cleaned. I really appreciate the staff for being so kind towards me and my friend."

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived an hour early hoping my room would be ready but understanding check-in wasn’t until 4pm. Housekeeping was running late and I didn’t get into my room until 5:30pm. I would have appreciated knowing they were that far behind prior to sitting and waiting so long. Other than that my stay was perfect. The room was great. The location was perfect. Breakfast was sufficient and the grounds were beautiful. The best part were the ducks on the property. I loved interacting with them and was especially pleased that I could feed them a couple times with food from the vending machine. :) The staff were polite as well. It was a good stay."
