Tranquil Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: May 8, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
I am a singer/songwriter and needed to getaway to a quiet place to do some writing for a new CD. Faro's Montecito retreat was perfect! My favorite was a room on the second floor that is surrounded by windows so the light floods in and the view is gorgeous. I was able to completely shut out the rest of the world and find the inspiration I needed to write my songs. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone needing some beauty and peace.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, People with Disabilities, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thank you Hilary! I look forward to your return visit, Hopefully hearing your new music at Calvary and listening to your new CD! Blessings, Faro

Wonderful, Healing Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: February 14, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
We had our best family vacation ever at Faros Retreat. Faro is kind, generous and extended himself so we would have a relaxed and memorable vacation. The house is beautiful, clean, quiet and has a warm feeling (and a great master bedroom). The house is just a few miles away from a beautiful and quiet beach where we made sandcastles, ran in the water, saw sunsets and played. We even saw dolphins leaping out of the water on New Years Day. We swam in the pool at the house which we had to ourselves. Faro was so kind and got to know our 8-year old daughters - he welcomed them and let them play with his dogs. One of his daughters babysat the girls and he and his daughters took our girls with them to town for desert as well so my husband and I were free to go bike riding and have a date in Santa Barbara. What a rare find - wonderful accommodations, friendly and kind owner and one of the more beautiful places to vacation. Faros Retreat is a special and healing place for families as well as groups of friends. We hope to return again and again!

Excellent Location for College Student Leadership./Staff Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: January 29, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
I was looking for a retreat house that could accommodate a group of 30 college student leaders for a two night leadership retreat that was in a restful location, large enough yet homey, and close enough to the beach so that students could wander around and explore the beach and Santa Barbara during hang out times. Faro's Retreat met all my expectations!

Students loved it. There are plenty of rooms, air mattresses available upon request, 2 kitchens enough to cook for a large group, extra folding chairs and tables, large meeting areas inside and outside the house and plenty of parking for 8-10 cars.

Our entire group enjoyed it! Since the house is in such a quiet neighborhood, it is important to make sure your guests understand the exclusivity policies on Faro's website. We communicated that to our leaders and they did a great job of keeping them!

Faro was also very accommodating as a host! I highly recommend this facility!

My group really enjoyed our retreat! The house is great for medium-large groups- with so many bedrooms, large gathering spaces and a dining table that seats at least 12 you can have a great experience without overcrowding one another. The property is absolutely peaceful and an ideal place for your next retreat.

Quiet, beautiful retreat in a tranquil location

I was responsible for planning a women's retreat last minute, and we were lucky enough to find this beautiful place for our get together. The house is beautiful, state of the art, and perfect for finding a quiet place to relax. The location was perfect for spending a sunny afternoon on the beach, or for a quiet dinner in downtown Santa Barbara. The owner was more than hospitable in making sure we had everything we needed, and willing to go to the lengths to help us have the best retreat possible. The property was clean, the beds were comfy, and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing. We would be only so lucky to return again. Thank you Faro!
