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.

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!
After 50 years at UCSB, we had a week long reunion at this property and it was perfect and exceeded our expectations. Home is classic Santa Barbara style with beautiful view and vibes..highly recommend.
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.
There were 7 of us that stayed, all immediate family for my brother’s wedding in Santa Barbara. The house could easily fit 10 people so it was very comfortable for the 7 of us. We enjoyed the big family room & dining room to all gather for watching movies, football & meals. I enjoyed coffee each morning on the deck over looking the ocean. The hot tub was a great night cap. The beds were all comfortable. There isn’t really a “master” bedroom as the 2 king bedrooms upstairs have to share a bathroom (which could be bigger & more updated), but it worked out fine. The main level has 2 bedrooms with their own bathrooms plus a half bathroom. The main level was very comfortable to stay & we enjoyed it. The kitchen is small, not much counter space but it worked for cooking breakfast each morning & dinner 1 night for all. The location is GREAT; very close to everything in Santa Barbara! We would totally stay here again.
Lovely place, room for everyone and wonderful neighborhood
Great property for family of 6 or under. Within 8 minutes of everything you could ever want to do in Santa Barbara. Everything was very clean and neat, we found everything we needed easily. Great spot! We'll return!
Loved this home! The entire spot was beautifully maintained and comfortable and welcoming. Would recommend to any family looking to visit Santa Barbara.
This was the perfect place for my family to stay during a weekend trip to Santa Barbara. Quiet location on the hillside. Plenty of space and beautiful views. Definitely would stay here again!
Beautiful House, & great property team. Very responsive, accommodating, & friendly. The property is well situated and a short Uber to state street. We would stay there again. My only suggestion would be to have lighted magnified makeup mirrors in every bathroom for those of us who’s eyesight is not what it used to be! Thank you!
Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood convenient to Santa Barbara attractions. We had a great time!
Well, Santa Barbara is just about the most beautiful place I've ever been and the house was just fantastic.
We are 4 senior women who came to SB from Connecticut for the weather, the scenery, golf and the ambiance. The house is absolutely charming and very comfortable. We only used the hot tub once but it was the perfect temperature. The only complaint we have is that there needs to be more lighting, inside and out, particularly at the lower end of the driveway. It was already dark when we arrived and it took a little time and a phone call to figure out where the lock box was. Otherwise we couldn't have been happier and definitely would rent again.
The house was exactly as described. It was beautiful, clean and in a great neighborhood. Would highly recommend!
This house lives larger than it is. The layout was perfect for our family gathering while visiting from the east coast. We really appreciated the comfortable furniture and beds, also having 3.5 bathrooms for our group. The hot tub was fun, and the laundry was super-convenient. The balcony served as a perfect location for viewing 4th of July fireworks, as well as everyday gathering. Also loved the neighborhood. It is just a short walk to the Mission. Clean and comfortable!
This is a wonderful location with a beautiful view. The kitchen has all the amenities making it easy for cooking. The beds are comfortable, and having so many bathrooms makes getting ready easy as well. It was clean, had puzzles and books, information about local activities, and the bottle of Santa Barbara chardonnay was a nice touch, and delicious. I would definitely recommend this home for a vacation in Santa Barbara.
Wonderful property with great view.
This was a gorgeous property with everything we needed for a group of 6 friends. Everyone had room and the home was well stocked with kitchen essentials. The neighborhood and location are beautiful and the views of the water were spectacular. We didn't realize until we checked in that there was no A/C, which was only a problem the first day when temperatures were over 80, but the house did cool down quite nicely on the days the temperatures stayed below that.
