San Ysidro Ranch is a unique and charming getaway set in beautiful gardens, providing a peaceful escape from the busy city. Our private cottage was filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay special, although we encountered some noise from nearby construction and had mixed experiences with the dining options. Overall, it's a lovely spot, but the high prices may not justify the value for everyone.

The resort feels like a hidden gem in the Santa Barbara hills, surrounded by stunning gardens and picturesque views. Our cottage was charming and comfortable, but the food and service did not live up to the luxury expectations considering the high prices. The setting is beautiful, which makes it worth a visit, but the dining experience was a letdown.
