    • If you are looking for a great little escape to beautiful Montecito, CA, look no further! This comfortable, spacious cabana was just perfect for what I needed. Close in proximity to all the wonderful things Santa Barbara has to offer; beaches, wine country, tons of outdoor activities. Dino and Florida are wonderful hosts, I thoroughly enjoyed their company and the opportunity to hula hoop with them down at East Beach in Santa Barbara. If you want your privacy, that's respected as well. I miss their little (and I mean little!) dog GiGi! I miss the sound of the waterfall and Dino's great music selections, which you can listen to or not in the cabana. Everything was so nice and CLEAN! The queen bed is so comfortable. Sorry Florida, I ate most of the Ferrero Rocher chocolates you left out.

    • We stayed at Casa de Flores during the last week of our three weeks journey throughout California in October 2009 and we loved it! After days on the road we wanted just to relax and to have a beautiful, quiet home. For this purpose Casa de Flores was the best choice conceivable. Located in the hills of Montecito it is surrounded from green and lush properties in a quiet area. But if you like you are only minutes away from beaches, Santa Barbara, nice restaurants, shopping centers or a little hike in the Montecito hills. Cabana and garden are well maintained and equipped. The garden is terrific. We loved just sitting in the sun, looking at flowers, listening to the waterfall and looking forward to a barbecue for dinner and jumping in the heated Jacuzzi after sunset. The pictures on the website can only show a part of the spot’s beauty. Our hosts, Florida and Dino, were welcoming, uncomplicated and tried hard to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you for the great time!

    • I just returned from a girls one night getaway from it all, and had a very relaxing time at the beautiful Casa De Flores.The grounds are beautiful the cottage heavenly and the sounds of the waterfall so relaxing. We were so close to home but felt like we were in a tropical paradise.Our Host's Dino and Florida were the best part. We hardly saw them but when we asked where we could get something to munch on while we watched movies, a tray appeared 1/2 hour later which was so unexpected. It had cheese and apples and nuts, and was the perfect added bonus to our cozy cottage, movie and vino. Thank you Dino and Florida that was certainly unexpected but very appreciated. I cannot wait to return with my Husband in the near future !!!

    • We had a fantastic time at the Casa de Flores. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed the cosy and beautifully decorated cottage as well as the gorgeous garden. We would definitely come here again and will recommend to our friends.

    • My husband and I had the wonderful pleasure of celebrating our 10 year anniversary at Casa De Flores. Dino checked in with us several times to see if there was anything he could do to make our stay even more enjoyable. The entire weekend was perfect. If you are visiting the Santa Barbara area you should definitely consider Casa De Flores. Tamara & Miles Connell

    • My wife and I spent five nights in this paradise. What a wonderful treat. Cabana was beautiful, very quiet, comfortable. The pool, spa, and garden are wonderful. Everything promised on the site was accurate. Dino and Florida were great, they are excellent resources for ideas for activities and their referrals for meals were excellent. They are also great fun and very interesting to talk with. We look forward to seeing them again next year.

    • Oh Casa De Flores, I wish we were there right now! That will be the difficult part of your visit to this slice of heaven -- you will have to leave! We had the best vacation of our LIVES! The Casa is so comfortable - great bed, great sheets, comfy couch, LOVELY flowers, candles, and more. The gardens are lovely everywhere I looked I kept seeing different flowers and planets. A tropical paradise, which truly felt like another world. The lagoon pool/hot tub deserves its own paragraph! Salt water, deep pool (you can dive). My husband and I are water babies - and spent so much time playing in the pool and soaking in the tub. Heaven, absolute heaven! Dino and Florida are consummate hosts. Extremely gracious, checking in to see if we needed anything but never overbearing. Enjoy yourself, and please give Dino and Florida a big hug from us.

    • Absolutely fabulous. It really is as good as the pictures lead you to believe. The cabana is comfortable, roomy and beautifully decorated. Dino and Florida are capable concierges, welcoming hosts and fascinating folks to chat with over a Mocha on the patio, but are by no means intrusive. During our stay my wife and I hiked all over, went to the wine country, had lunch at Ojai, went sailing, spent a day at the beach in Malibu and numerous afternoons on the beaches of Santa Barbara and Montecito. After wearing ourselves out we often relaxed in the spa and pool admiring the garden in the afternoon or gazing at the stars at night. The one regret that I have about our stay is that we did not manage to witness “Dancing Dino” with the other hoopers. Thanks Dino and Florida.

    • "Tropical Cabana Paradise" truly was a little piece of paradise tucked into the hills of Montecito. Dino and Florida are exceptional hosts, warm and attentive to every detail around the enchanting property and the very comfortable and roomy cabana. Little surprises throughout the cabana were much appreciated: chocolates, flowers, drinks in the fridge. They will point you the right way to find the perfect beach for your mood-of-the-day, or where to dine out. We really enjoyed the pool and late-nights in the jacuzzi, it felt so far away from the madness... And, like others before us, we went down to the beach to "partake" in some hula hoop-ing. Something we evidently need a lot more practice at! This property ranks amongst our top favorite places to stay and we hope to return. Danielle and Ed, Ottawa (Canada)

    • Case de Flores exceeded our expectations for our recent stay in the Santa Barbara area. Located in quiet, elegant Montecito, our accommodations were spacious, beautifully decorated down to the last detail, and very private. A very comfortable bed, luxurious linens and a fully stocked mini-kitchen also made our stay far better than any hotel. We enjoyed the tranquil pool with its gurgling waterfall and private hot tub (which heated up in a mere 20 minutes). The tranquil garden with its many nooks and crannies to relax, was magnificent. You can tell Dino and Florida take great pride in their property and providing their guests with the utmost in comfort. They were very friendly and helpful, yet did not intrude on our stay one bit. We enjoyed meeting up with them at East Beach to hula hoop, and wish we could have stayed longer to play some ping pong and bocce with them! Upon our eventual return to the area, there is nowhere else we'd rather stay... thanks Dino and Florida!
