The property is beautiful, isolated from busy streets. We loved the backyard as others have noted. Although described as having washer and dryer you have to request access. The owner lives next door and is particular about how you enter and exit the property. He also left many notes around the interior no doubt to avoid any potential problems. We prefer more privacy so will not return. Suggested for kitchen: hot water kettle, large skillet, flat baking sheet, large bowl for pasta like dishes.

Great location close to 101 with easy access to Templeton, Paso Robles and Atascadero. Groceries are just down the road. The owner is very nice old cowboy and he has a surprise for you.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great time in Paso Robles. Our VRBO was excellent, every detail covered. Awesome patio area, kitchen, bedrooms were perfect and had the feel of home. Perfect location for wine tasting and close to many restaurants and shops. The spices Bren left for us was a pleasant surprise and a nice gift that will remind us of our stay at Bren’s Paso Robles Retreat. Booking again.

Family get away

Property was nice but the interactions and the notes around the place from the owner were not great. We went slow driving in and the owner left a note to drive walking speed. Then the listing said it had air conditioning but the sign in the place said to shut off when you leave so when we got home at night and tried to cool the place down we found out that it was locked at 75 degrees. So the first two nights were very hot. Then we told him and he said it was programmed and then said he could maybe fix it when we threatened to go to a hotel because of medical issues. He ended up fixing it.

Best week of my trip so far

Thank you for sharing your cottage. The details and style reminds me of an Italian Villa. Very clean, complete kitchen and comfortable bed made for a relaxing get away. The private yard was perfect for my pup, exactly what I was looking for. The host, Bren was great. He shared his spices and they added wonderful flavors to every meal. He has two of the happiest dogs who greeted us with wagging tails. Will return next time we are in the area. Cheers.

A Peaceful Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying at Vita Amorosa is a peaceful escape from the craziness of life. It is quiet and has great outdoor places to drink your morning coffee and watch nature. The beds are very comfortable and the set-up is perfect for two couples. It is private, but close enough to hop on the road to explore all of the Paso area. Bren is the best host and I love his little dogs. I can't wait to go back.

Idyllic Weekend Getaway

Lived up to expectations in every way. Property was quiet, secluded, and had everything we needed for my friend and me. Beautiful, quaint cottage. Kitchen had everything we needed, beds were super comfortable, and the backyard patio was perfect for morning quiet times. And Bren was very helpful (and his homemade spices that he offers with the rental were fantastic!). Definitely recommended.

We all loved out stay

We loved our stay at Bren’s place. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the property was excellent. Very close to the highway, so easy access to the wineries. The place is extremely quiet. It is very relaxing to sit outside and look at nature. The beds were very comfortable. We got to meet Bren the owner. He was very pleasant to talk to. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

Perfect little getaway

Absolutely fantastic little place! Easy to find, great location, very quiet neighborhood and beautiful outdoor setting. The house was clean and very well stocked with everything one would need. We saw deer, grouse, and more birds than you could imagine; many different types. Bren, the owner was a delight to get to know. Very friendly and great communication. If I am ever in town again I will 100 percent stay here again.
