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.
Open the French doors to another sandstone craftsman patio. The
sculptured waterfall provides a peaceful soundtrack to your outdoor
dining and relaxing. An amazing variety of plants and fruit trees
await you in the landscaped backyard. The Plum, Apricot, and Peach
trees are all robust and productive, and a pair of healthy grape
vines provide tasty treats during the harvest season.
The back bedroom w/Queen bed opens on to the Spa deck and backyard.
The front bedroom w/Queen bed has a private bath, and opens to the
manicured front yard. Another room with a twin trundle bed is
perfect for kids. All three bedrooms have TV’s w/DVD players. The
beds are all brand new, with fine linens providing a 5-star-hotel
feeling.
Every aspect of this home promises to provide you a wine-country
getaway you won’t soon forget. We look forward to sharing this
fabulous property with you!
