Bed and breakfasts in Santa Barbara California

Marooned between the shimmering coastline and the lush Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara, often dubbed as the 'American Riviera', offers a unique Californian coastal charm. The city is overflowing with exquisite bed and breakfast joints, each with its own distinct character and style. As you tuck into a heartily served breakfast, you'll get to taste the authentic California on your plate, amidst the captivating beauty of Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara captures hearts with its Spanish colonial heritage. The city's iconic landmark, the Santa Barbara Mission, also known as "Queen of the Missions," is not just a piece of history. It organizes various events throughout the year, from musical concerts to food festivals, that are a vibrant representation of the local culture. Stay in one of the bed and breakfasts in the vicinity to be a part of this vivacious atmosphere.
However, the allure of Santa Barbara extends much beyond its historic landmarks. The city is home to some of the United States' best wineries and vineyards. Spend your day sampling some of the finest Californian wines at the Santa Ynez Valley or taking a stroll along the serene beaches, and then retreat to your cozy bed and breakfast to relax and unwind.
And if you are a nature enthusiast, the city will not disappoint you. The enthralling Lotusland, nestled in the foothills of Montecito, will leave you mesmerized with its world-renowned collection of exquisite plants. And with many bed and breakfasts in Santa Barbara offering breathtaking views of the California coastline or verdant mountain landscapes, your stay will be as visually stunning as your adventures throughout the city.
