The Villa Rosa is an absolute GEM of a property. The location couldn’t be better (right on the beach), the decor and appurtenances are unique and beautiful, breakfast, wine happy hour, clean and comfortable rooms, pool, jacuzzi, and walking distance from everything “Santa Barbara”. This is a property you will travel to again and again. Staff are all outstanding, and Melody at the front desk is super helpful, knowledgeable and professional. This is a property with so much charm, you may never leave! We’ll be back again!
