It happened to be a cold few days, but the pool was heated and the hot tub was very large- could fit up to 14 ppl. Also, the hotel is an a super ideal location-Right in front of the harbor and the lively, beautiful pier. The complimentary, evening wine and snack hour was great!

Ocean, Sunset, Mountain Views, Private Deck: Villa Floresco: Tuscan-like getaway

5/5 Excellent
"Sorry this took awhile for me to post, but here it is! -Mindy, the owner of the proerty was amazing. She will greet you when you arrive personally and show you around whether night or day. Makes herself available most of every day for any questions or suggestions about the site and the city. Provides you with a bottle of Cab Sauv wine as part of the welcome! -Place is comfortable, well stocked bathroom as well as kitchen (Kitchen I never used cuz I didn't want to make a mess) which has stove/cookery/microwave/fridge/freezer. -Sofa is nice. Bed is king sized with a lot of pillows and comfortable. -Mindy provides a self-made guide along with several periodicals about the city for sights, restaurants, and even nightlife for you to peruse through. -Extra blankets and first aid kit in unit which is nice. -Suitcase stand which is very clever. -Long balcony gives you a nice view of the backside of the hill where you can see a small part of the ocean in the distance. -Unit is separate from the main property so you can be loud even at night and likely you'll never be heard. -Parking is tricky you'll have to park on the driveway between a wall and one of the owners cars but I had no problem. -Location is nice. It's in a quiet neighborhood high up in a hill. Just minutes to the main city and piers/beach. -AC is powerful! Works great. -TV is 32-inch Samsung has youtube and apple tv. -Wifi is pretty strong and stable. Would I stay again? ABSOLUTELY! Thank you Mindy for everything!"
