| Bella Vina Retreat - Elegance and Privacy in Downtown Santa Barbara
It is hard to believe a peaceful and private retreat like this exists in the heart of Santa Barbara. The bustle of the day departs as you take your first step into the walled garden patio which leads to the front door. Flowering and robust, every part of this property is unique and manicured. The lion's-head fountain provides a soundtrack to your relaxing conversation around the outdoor dining set. For even more renewal, take dip in the private garden spa.
Enter the house to an incredible collection of artisan woodwork. Everywhere you look are built-in specimens of bookcases, armoires, light fixtures and more. The comfortable seating and fireplace of the living room provide a perfect setting for indoor socializing or relaxing.
The kitchen is complete with granite counter tops, and quality appliances. It is fully stocked to provide everything a chef needs for gourmet cooking. Counter dining is easy, or set up the dining room table for special evenings with friends and family.
The master bedroom has a King size bed, and the guest bedroom has two Twin beds. Each bedroom has it's own private bathroom.
Walk three blocks to State Street, the main corridor of Santa Barbara shopping and dining. Along the way is a fabulous, all local, "mini-downtown". It includes a coffee/smoothie house, burger and salad restaurant, Mexican restaurant, McConnell's ice cream parlor, and several retail stores. Continue your stroll several blocks further to the heart of Santa Barbara's downtown.
The property is located within easy reach of all that Santa Barbara has to offer. The beach is an easy 5 minute drive down the street. Santa Barbara Mission is a 2 minute drive. Take a 40 minute drive over the coastal mountains to the verdant Santa Ynez Valley for a day of wine tasting and dining.
Bella Vina Retreat promises to be the ultimate downtown Santa Barbara getaway. Please visit us and enjoy this romantic and renewing haven, a world away from the hustle of everyday life.
