Holidays in Montecito

Tell your friends you’re sorry not sorry if you don't reply to their messages. You're about to explore the best parts of Montecito, Santa Barbara! This fabulous city is home to around 88,000 people, as well as tons of adventures you’ll want to check off your bucket list. Montecito is 7 kilometres east of the city centre. Eager to know how to get there from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport? No sweat. Hail a taxi, hurl your gear in the back and travel east for 19 kilometres.

Montecito is heaven on earth for sightseers. A good deal of the city's best attractions are sprinkled near this appealing neighbourhood, including Mission Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County Courthouse. Don't forget to put Presidio Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Zoo on your schedule too. While you're in town, consider visiting a few other neighbourhoods to experience more of what Santa Barbara has to offer. Summerland and East Beach are good recommendations that are within easy reach.

Curious about things to do in the city centre? Two sensational places to start are the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Lotusland. Alternatively, take a look around the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum and the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden.

If you've got a love of art, you won't want to miss the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum and the Carriage and Western Art Museum. Take a look around and if one of the pieces moves you, ask the staff for information about its creator.

Sometimes it's the most talked about exhibits that impress us the most. Other times it's a forgotten treasure that's been hidden away in a dark corner. Keep a lookout for both at the Susan Quinlan Doll and Teddy Bear Museum, the Ty Warner Sea Center, Santa Barbara Art Foundry and the MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation.

What better way to end a day's sightseeing than with a few drinks and some entertainment? Check the programme guides at Santa Barbara Bowl and the Lobero Theater.

Few things can still the mind like the smells, sights and sounds of the natural world. Get a taste of it at El Capitan Lake, Santa Barbara Channel and Rattlesnake Canyon Trail.

Get your picnic on and invite a couple of friends down for a chat in one of the wonderful green spaces nearby. Take your pick from Alameda Park, De la Guerra Plaza, Alice Keck Memorial Garden and Lookout Park.

A great way to remember your holiday is by returning home with a couple of mementos. See what's on offer at Paseo Nuevo Mall and La Arcada.

The nearby heritage places will give you a glimpse into the area's interesting past. Stearns Wharf, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum and the Hill-Carrillo Adobe are sure to impress.

All good. Wish the common areas were a bit more up leveled (they are very sparse, carpet is poor). In the room, the bathroom slider door lends itself to being a petri-dish based on having hands all over the door to make it open/close.
