Hotel at a Glance: Villa Rosa Inn

A pair of palm trees flanks the archway leading to the Villa Rosa Inn, which is housed in a Spanish Colonial building near the beach. The established bed and breakfast was built more than eight decades ago and is trimmed from top to bottom in decorative furnishings.

• Distance from the beach: one block
• Elegant accents: some guest rooms have fireplaces and views of the nearby mountains.
• Start the day right with a complimentary continental breakfast.
• Outdoor pool and hot tub in a walled courtyard
• Gourmet cheeses are served with wine in the early evening.

Santa Barbara, California: Beach Town Nicknamed "The American Riviera"

Santa Barbara stands out among the towns along the 400-mile stretch between San Francisco and Los Angeles thanks to its prime location: it’s sandwiched between Pacific beaches to the south and the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north. It's urban, but not overly so—the downtown corridor along State Street is lined with mom-and-pop shops, cafés, bars, art galleries, and movie theaters.

A subtle Mediterranean influence graces most buildings: there are red-tile roofs, stucco façades, and Moorish-style arches. The climate is breezy and warm all year, providing an environment for lush tropical foliage to thrive. It's easy to see why the city bills itself as "The American Riviera."
