Villa Riviera - Luxury & Views on Santa Barbara's Lower Riviera

Villa Riviera - Mediterranean Perks in Santa Barbara

4 BEDROOMS | 3.5 BATHROOMS | 8 GUESTS

This is the reason Santa Barbara is named the “American Riviera.” This immaculate home is perfectly situated next to an expansive park on the Riviera hillside. You’ll also be nestled between the exclusive Upper Eastside and Riviera neighborhoods finding yourself a short walk away from Old Mission Santa Barbara, the Rose Garden, and the Museum of Natural History. Put on your comfy shoes and stroll down a bit farther to State Street for world-class dining, shopping, and wine tasting. Or do as the locals do and picnic in the Rose Garden as the sun sets.
This gorgeous tri-level home is built in a classic Mediterranean style featuring 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Natural wood beams with cathedral ceilings are showcased in the Family and Primary rooms. French doors open to the large tiled balcony, the third-floor terrace, and to the cool ocean breezes. Every room has been refurbished and enjoys modern amenities and tasteful renovations. Arguably the most beautiful element of this home are the private balconies overlooking downtown Santa Barbara, the Pacific Ocean, and the Channel Islands.

Gorgeous home
We really enjoyed our stay at the paradise retreat. We had a couple unfortunate events take place such as a bed breaking the first night we arrived. Quickly repaired the next day. Our last 2 days we were without hot water. Repair took longer this time and when I called back within 10 mins of repairman leaving, informing that water was only hot in kitchen we were told we would have someone out by 9 am the next day. We were leaving for the airport and had not showered in 2 days. I would somehow get hot water on an emergency list of items to be fixed anytime day or night. I was then told everyone was sorry and managers would decide on some form of compensation. However, when I texted about the compensation a few days after returning home to follow up I was told to write an email with my concerns. When everyone should have known what the concern was pertaining to no hot water. Great property and well appointed just disappointed in how some of the management issues were addressed.

Cozy and comfortable retreat in Santa Barbara!
The property was a quintessential Spanish style home in the heart of Santa Barbara. It was the perfect size for our family of 8 including seniors, adults, and 2 toddlers. It provided just the right amount of privacy and shared space to socialize. Note that the property was three level so might be slightly difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Otherwise, it was a relaxing stay and close to everything we wanted to experience in Santa Barbara. Thank you very much!

Wonderful stay at Villa Riviera
We had a great stay at Villa Riviera and Santa Barbara. Pros: great location -- on a quiet street in a residential area but very close to everything in Santa Barbara as well as Gaviota. The views from the home are tremendous and there are many different spots where one can sit and relax or engage. The rooms were all inviting and well decorated. Most of the Paradise Retreat people we worked with were very responsive. Things for improvement -- sleeping elements could be improved (pillows, sheets, etc); contacting Paradise Retreats over the holidays worked fine, however, responsiveness was a bit slower (not necessarily surprising, however, more challenging as we had issues that required more timely responses). Overall, we would recommend staying here!

We loved the character of the home. The bedroom/bathroom mix worked great for our group. The view from the balcony was beautiful. We would definitely stay again.
