The property felt like steppung into a painting, the pool area was gorgeous. The beach was RIGHT THERE! and the beds were very comfortable, my family and i had a great stay
Room is dusty, stain sheets and comforter.
Stain towels, it looks like unwashed.
Understaffed but friendly.
Breakfast is okay.
Overall the place is okay.

The management, the view of the beach, and overall feel of the room are great. We requested fresh towels and trash to be emptied. Neither worth done. Waffles or bagels for breakfast were awesome ways to start my days!
Great historic hotel, lots of interesting unique decor items, gorgeous courtyard with pool and hot tub. The owner was super nice. Great location, just steps away from the wharf.
The Villa Rosa Inn is a very European feeling inn. Would feel like it belongs on the French or Italian Riviera! A perfect Vibe for Santa barbara! You can say Charming warm- French country even shabby chic for descriptive terms I will definitely return it makes it truly a memorable stay in Santa Barbara my only criticism and this is my third stay is the front desk seems somewhat unorganized and they're often missing. Another caveat is this hotel as an additional fee on top of the hotels.com reservation price but the very clear and open about it. Yes I will come back and stay again! Soon!
