Villa Talavera was a great property for our extended stay in Santa Barbara. The property was the perfect size for us as a couple who both work from home. We had plenty of room, but extra space for guests to come visit as well. The home was clean and well-stocked, with gorgeous landscaping and outdoor areas. Plus, the location was perfect – just 20 mins walk from State Street.

Hi Alyssa,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so glad Villa Talavera was a perfect fit for your extended stay and remote work needs. It's wonderful to hear that the space, comfort, and beautifully landscaped outdoor areas made you feel right at home, and that you had room to host visiting guests as well!
We agree, the Lower Riviera location offers the best of both worlds, peaceful surroundings with easy access to State Street and everything Santa Barbara has to offer. We'd be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!
Warmest regards,
The VROSB Team
