The Villa Rosa is an absolute GEM of a property. The location couldn’t be better (right on the beach), the decor and appurtenances are unique and beautiful, breakfast, wine happy hour, clean and comfortable rooms, pool, jacuzzi, and walking distance from everything “Santa Barbara”. This is a property you will travel to again and again. Staff are all outstanding, and Melody at the front desk is super helpful, knowledgeable and professional. This is a property with so much charm, you may never leave! We’ll be back again!

The hotel is wonderful. The cleaning staff was very friendly and helpful. Had a little problem checking in. She was 30 min late, but trying to be helpful. I left a cash deposit. I was to pick it up at checkout, but no one was able to find my deposit. I had to wait and come back at 1:30 to pick up my cash deposit. Overall a great stay. I would defiantly come back.

Rooms are very outdated, no AC in the rooms so it’s hard to sleep at night. The location is good but the price to stay here is not worth it since you can find somewhere else close by that is much more updated and way better service

The staff was extremely kind and helpful. We came to celebrate a landmark birthday and we were not disappointed. The room was very clean an spacious, heater and AC. The old school plumbing was a challenge but as a California native, its common for the older buildings; definitely didnt take away from the beauty or experience. Almost everythis is walking distance feom the room; Jeannine's was like a 5 minutes walk and the food was quick and yummy. Tons of food places within a 5-10 minute walk anywhere; very quaint and quiet, fabulous view of the mountains and ocean... i would definitely recommend this for either a quick qet away or for a honeymoon. The decor was very unique, cozy and lovely Spanish style floors.
