Beautiful Art Lover's Retreat

The Art Lover's Retreat is located in the Santa Barbara foothills one block from beautiful nature trails in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Owned by a Parisian Art Dealer, the home is beautifully decorated with eclectic 20th century European and American Artwork, some of which is available for purchase. Additionally the house is uniquely furnished with an open floor plan where you can delight your taste buds in the gourmet kitchen, curl up next to the open fireplace or just relax in the living room while simultaneously enjoying family and friends in the fun and sophisticated environment. There is also a lovely private back yard where you can enchant yourself in the delightful gardens or soak in the sunshine... there is so much to enjoy at the Art Lover's Retreat.

Downtown Santa Barbara is just minutes away for enjoying world class dining, live theatre, music, wine tasting and nightlife. Beautiful, pristine Pacific Ocean beaches are just 10 minutes from your door.

The Art Lover's retreat is perfect for family reunions, corporate events and other get-togethers. Available year round in Santa Barbara's legendary Mediterranean climate, the Art Lover's Retreat...your home away from home, awaits you.

The owner Alex was very responsive and communicates well. He was genuinely concerned and proactively put up a baby fence to block the stair case when he knew there were little children in our group.

Great location and comfortable home
This is a very cool property that is accurately depicted by the listing description. Both the owner and property manager are highly responsive and assistive. The layout of the house is great and very comfortable. Furnishings in the house are post modern with some really interesting and original pieces. Artwork is eclectic and wide ranging. Very fun and original.

Wedding
Six of us stayed at the house for four days to attend a wedding. The home was pretty much as listed on website. The bedrooms were all a good size and very comfortable. The house has plenty of open spaces for people to gather and socialize. Weather was perfect, warm days and cool nights. Alex, the owner, was very responsive to all our needs. Some of the furniture could use an upgrade. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Eclectic, artistic home.
Alex was fantastic and kind. Easy to get a hold of and very responsive. His home was a great place to stay and relax. The hiking at the end of the road was fantastic. Close to everything we needed in S.B! Thanks Alex.
