Tranquil Getaway
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.

Wonderful, Healing Family Vacation
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
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!

Wonderful House
Submitted: December 29, 2012
Stayed: December 2012
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!

What a fabulous time we had at Faro's Montecito Retreat! Such a lovely property! Very spacious, lots of rooms with big beds. The upstairs Cielo Suite was so lovely with an amazing bathroom and shower! We loved the hot tub at night, watching the stars, and feeling very secluded in beautiful landscaping. This retreat superseded our expectations. Thank you Faro!

I was with a group of ladies that work at a camp in Southern Ca. We wanted a weekend away where we could spend time together fellowshipping and just getting to know each other. We stayed at Faro's Montecito Retreat and it was the perfect spot. The rooms were clean and beds were so comfortable. The restrooms and kitchen had all the amenities. The grounds were immaculate and we used the jacuzzi. There were 11 of us and we never felt crowded. We had a wonderful time and I would recommend this retreat for anyone.

Amazing, peaceful retreat in the spectacular hills of Montecito
Submitted: November 12, 2012
Stayed: November 2012
Faro was so welcoming and friendly with big friendly dogs in tow. He made me feel immediately at home and I wished I had brought my kids to this fabulous retreat in the hills. I was there only for a couple of nights and wished I could have stayed longer. The bed was amazingly comfy and every amenity was managed with great attention to quality. I only needed my toothbrush and particularly enjoyed the pool and hot tub on the afternoon after the Santa Barbara Marathon. Everything was perfect and peaceful and restful at Faro's Retreat and I emerged with a full recharge. Thanks, Faro. I will be back with my kids someday!

My husband and I had a wonderful vacation at Faro's Retreat. The Montecito/Santa Barbara is one of the most stunning areas in California. I guess that's why Oprah lives five minutes from Faro's. The listing description was accurate. The pool/jacquzzi/BBQ area was relaxing. We were enthralled by The Music Academy of the West located by The Four Season's Hotel and Butterfly Beach about ten minutes from Faro's. Every summer, they invite music students from all over the U. S. to audition for positions in U.S. orchestras. Most of the teaching auditions are free to the public. Shorts and T shirts are fine. Favorite breakfast/lunch: Montecito Cafe. Favorite dinner: The Fish Enterprise on State St. where you can order a wonderful Maine lobster dinner for $29.95! We highly recommend Faro's Retreat to any couple or especially a group of Christians on retreat since there is so much room for a large group.

Relaxing family vacation spot
Submitted: August 4, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
We spent 2 nights in Faro's beautiful home and wish we could have stayed even longer! There was something for everyone to enjoy. Our kids immediately jumped in the pool and had a blast swimming and playing. My husband relaxed in the hot tub. I found everything I needed in the kitchen and we all enjoyed family style meals around the comfortable dining table or outside in the peaceful area next to the pool. Our dog loved running around with Faro's dogs and investigating the beautiful grounds. My 3 year old loved finding fruit on the trees during our many walks on the property and picking her own snack. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. And Faro is just so nice and friendly. He really makes you feel at home. We had a wonderful time and hope to return in the near future.
