This is a beautiful property with lovely grounds and spacious rooms featuring large bathrooms. The staff was consistently lovely and accommodating throughout our stay. We didn’t try the on-site restaurant, but the pool was fabulous and never felt overcrowded. The gym is nothing special, though it’s convenient to have one available. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to check in a couple of hours early, which made a big difference after traveling. The location is great—close enough to downtown Santa Barbara, and Ubers to Montecito/Santa Barbara were only $12–18 per trip. I would happily book this hotel again on future visits to Santa Barbara.

Very nice secluded hotel. Very upscale but in a low key way. Would love to stay again.

This place is a hidden gem. My parents told me romantic as it gets so 15 years or so later gave it a try! It was awesomely romantic. It was almost perfection with only one small ding. The food choices were not 5 stars and the price point is a little extreme and not likely to leave for food once there. I would say this place is a must for romantic couples looking for no more than 2 nights. Will be back and treated exceptionally well!
