What a hidden gem in the hills of Santa Barbra. You will be transported to a relaxing state once you step onsite. The views and hospitality are exceptional. I look forward to coming back soon.

Just leaving El Encanto after a fabulous 2 night stay. Without hesitation we can say it is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Everything about it is wonderful.. the service, staff, gardens, food, toiletries etc etc. A special mention to the utterly sparkling Wade who helped make our stay so memorable!

We have come to expect quiet efficiency from Belmond Hotels all over the world. This was no exception. We had a couple of issues while we were there - last minute cancellation from a hairdresser) we were in SB for a wedding, the concierge sorted it all out. Our young son needed to be collected from LAX - ditto. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff exceptionally friendly and relaxed.
