Our stay at Villa Fortunata was great and we would love to come back again! Amelia and Ralph were fantastic hosts, giving us many ideas for places to go and visit during our stay, and even left us fresh baked treats at our door each day (they own a bakery in Santa Monica). The apartment is stylish and homey, which is exactly what we wanted. My favorite parts were the bed (so comfy) and shower (spacious and feels like a spa!). Very safe and quiet neighborhood. There were more amenities than I could have imagined, even stuff you don’t think about (lint roller, detergent, bikes, heated towel rack!), the pantry and fridge were completely stocked for us, and there’s a filtered water dispenser with hot water as well. There isn’t AC but don’t let that deter you, there’s an amazing ocean breeze from the window right next to the bed. We also loved the beautiful and tranquil garden in the backyard, which the patio overlooks. It was so nice waking up in the morning, enjoying coffee on the deck, and watching humming birds fly around the garden! All in all we had an amazing stay and would definitely stay here again! Thanks Amelia and Ralph!
