Best week of my trip so far

Thank you for sharing your cottage. The details and style reminds me of an Italian Villa. Very clean, complete kitchen and comfortable bed made for a relaxing get away. The private yard was perfect for my pup, exactly what I was looking for. The host, Bren was great. He shared his spices and they added wonderful flavors to every meal. He has two of the happiest dogs who greeted us with wagging tails. Will return next time we are in the area. Cheers.

A Peaceful Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying at Vita Amorosa is a peaceful escape from the craziness of life. It is quiet and has great outdoor places to drink your morning coffee and watch nature. The beds are very comfortable and the set-up is perfect for two couples. It is private, but close enough to hop on the road to explore all of the Paso area. Bren is the best host and I love his little dogs. I can't wait to go back.

Idyllic Weekend Getaway

Lived up to expectations in every way. Property was quiet, secluded, and had everything we needed for my friend and me. Beautiful, quaint cottage. Kitchen had everything we needed, beds were super comfortable, and the backyard patio was perfect for morning quiet times. And Bren was very helpful (and his homemade spices that he offers with the rental were fantastic!). Definitely recommended.

We all loved out stay

We loved our stay at Bren’s place. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the property was excellent. Very close to the highway, so easy access to the wineries. The place is extremely quiet. It is very relaxing to sit outside and look at nature. The beds were very comfortable. We got to meet Bren the owner. He was very pleasant to talk to. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

Cozy Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While the furnishings were a bit worn, it was clean and cozy and had lovely views all around. The property owner was next door and available for any needs. He also provided us with some of his own spice blends, which we were allowed to take home. The property had a washer/dryer, but they were locked in the garage and required a call to the property owner. Something we haven't had to deal with at previous VRBOs. Overall, it was a lovely stay and we would definitely go back if we visit the area again.

Perfect little getaway

Absolutely fantastic little place! Easy to find, great location, very quiet neighborhood and beautiful outdoor setting. The house was clean and very well stocked with everything one would need. We saw deer, grouse, and more birds than you could imagine; many different types. Bren, the owner was a delight to get to know. Very friendly and great communication. If I am ever in town again I will 100 percent stay here again.

Perfect wine country getaway!

A perfect place to use as a base for wine tasting in Paso area. Beautiful quiet setting, great backyard patio perfect for mornings and evenings spent sighting deer, owls, hummingbirds and more. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, close to everything. Bren the owner was great and very easy and responsive to work with. There was even a small garden and we truly enjoyed the fresh ripe tomatoes! Our party of four all agreed it was a great find.

It's in the details

Where to begin? Firstly, you won't be disappointed. The pictures and description don't do the place justice. Everything was really lovely. The kitchen was well appointed with everything from a cast iron skillet to a crock pot. It was clear throughout our stay that the host had thought about and delivered on the details. The property is clean and up to date. While the style is old world charm, nothing seems dated or heavily used. The air conditioner worked well, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms are lovely. Water pressure is impressive too. We loved the back yard. It was a a perfect oasis with lots of shade, two lawns and a gas grill. The vegetable garden was looking pretty good. Don't hesitate to stay here. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing does not do this property justice

This is an amazing place to stay. In fact, I really don't want to share, due to I would like to keep Bren's jewel a secret. Everything from communication, to the furnishings, to how quiet this place is was top notch. I appreciate Bren and being able to communicate with him directly. One thing which stood out immediately was how clean everything was. Yes, some places are "clean", but this place was over the top clean. It was amazing and sanitized to the point of I felt at home. I hope to stay at Bren's place again in the future and I look forward to being able to share more great reviews. Thank you for having us Bren and I hope you will have us back in the near future.

Beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We have a golden retriever who loves the large fenced in yard. You will definitely enjoy your visit!

Everything was lovely, the back yard was special and we even saw two huge owls on one of the evenings that we enjoyed sitting in the back yard. We saw a deer one day when we came up the driveway. The one downside (the reason for 4 stars) was the internet connection was spotty. Fortunately, my husband did not have to work this trip, but if he would have had to work, the connection would not have permitted that. Everything else was lovely. Bren left us some of his spices and we enjoyed those thoroughly.

Lovely 5 Day Atascadero Stay

Stay here! With so many places to choose from in the area, this place was by far the best pick! With large grocery stores and restaurants around, it still felt remote. It’s situated on a beautiful large property with the most scenic backyard and patio. The house was super comfortable and clean. The beds and linens were top notch. The owner, Bren who lives nearby was extremely kind and generous. He brought us a collection of his own brand of spices which were awesome and told us to use any of the vegetables we wanted from the extensive vegetable garden growing in the back yard which we did and it was incredible to have fresh lettuces, spinach and broccoli! We asked to have a small bbq for a few folks that were also in the area and Bren brought over an outdoor heater and spare chairs. The fridge was stocked with bottled water and there was oil and coffee in the kitchen to get us started. Every day so many birds came to the backyard plus such pretty hummingbirds to drink from the feeders and the sweetest group of deer that would make appearances from time to time. Thank you Bren for a fabulous stay and being so hospitable!
