Santa Barbara Villa Verano

We had a fantastic time at Villa Verano. Hosts were very nice and responsive. Highly recommend this amazing property!

Incredible place!

It’s an amazing property for a large group. We we in town for our daughter’s wedding and had a number of family stay with us. Huge kitchen well equipped. Lots of private bedroom and bathes. The only issues are the sunken or dropped rooms and steps. 5 of the 14 of us took a spill or near spill with 3 of those causing a bruise soreness. Again the views from everywhere in the house was amazing. Just watch your step.

We had 20 family members with us ranging from a few babies to our mother of 72. The property was ideal for us given 8 bedrooms, a large sprawling home, great indoor game room and terrific outdoor space. The home is certainly dated but had great charm. The kitchen was fully equipped with all imaginable pots, pans, utensils, etc...We will certainly come here again when/if we need a home for 18-20 family members.

It’s hard finding a home large enough for 22 people ranging in age from 2 1/2 to 85. It’s also hard finding a property that works for all ages in terms of the flow of the home. Villa Verano does it all. With a great kitchen and gathering room to a gorgeous living room to the most amazing game room to two hot tubs and a pool… and a full sized movie theater to top it all off. The property is gorgeous but lots of steps to deal with. And the property manager was readily accessible when needed. The house is a bit dated, but still spectacular. Some reviews have noted things that needed repairs but those type things in no way take away the overall experience. Can’t say more about how all 22 enjoyed their week!!!

Beautiful property location, grand spaces. Gorgeous views. But broken screen doors, torn screens, old dysfunctional kitchen ovens, under kitchen sinks - don’t even look. Game room bar not functional- ice machine screwed shut. Dining room table & chairs - seat only 8. If you have a bigger group, pray the weather allows dining al fresco. If you are not a perfectionist, this place is brilliant.

Was truly the trip of a lifetime. Everything was perfect! I can fully see myself renting this home again. Thanks for everything!

Second time staying at this amazing home. There is so much to keep you busy on property- didn’t want to leave the house (except for beach)! Very easy and safe! Would absolutely get again for the next time.

We had a wonderful week. Claudia was very responsive to any needs and the property is gorgeous. We loved our week in paradise! Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay. The place is beautiful and has it all. Other reviews captured all the great aspects of the location. I agree with all. I’d just note for those with elderly parents, there’s lots of distance and steps that may be hard for older people. I’d also note that some rooms are better than others and choosing rooms can become a pain with a big family (who gets which room?). Also, the pool house is pretty musty, so it may or may not legitimately qualify as two bedrooms. So I absolutely recommend this place, but make sure you think about the room situation.
