We enjoyed the comfort of the place. Very welcoming and had everything we needed. Bren is very hospitable and always available if we needed anything. Love his doggies.
The property and amenities were even better than we were expecting. Cleaned to a super high standard. Nicely appointed and well stocked. Would without a doubt return here if our itinerary brings us back.
This home is better than the photos -- spacious, bright, clean, and well-equipped. The back patio is beautiful with deer right beyond the fence every morning. Bren, the property owner, is very kind and helpful, made us feel right at home.
We had a wonderful stay here, it was very comfortable for our needs. The property was clean except, the living room couch is a little tired and dirty . Bryn was a great host and Lucy and Lacey were a pleasure . They greeted us every morning 😊All in all a great spot for my husband and I to relax and get away for a small stay.
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.

The home is situated on a quiet street with wonderful views. The home has all you might need in a two bedroom two bath home, with a spacious yard and back porch equipped with a grill and picnic table. A great place to take quiet walks and enjoy local cuisine.

Exceptional find! We had a wonderful time, great location, amazing setting: everything you need for a 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.
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.

Great time in Paso Robles. Our VRBO was excellent, every detail covered. Awesome patio area, kitchen, bedrooms were perfect and had the feel of home. Perfect location for wine tasting and close to many restaurants and shops. The spices Bren left for us was a pleasant surprise and a nice gift that will remind us of our stay at Bren’s Paso Robles Retreat. Booking again.

August 2023 Stay
Great rental with magnificent views. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the seasonings blends that the owner, Bren, left us and the fresh vegies from the garden was another fun bonus.
We highly recommend!
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.

This was a perfect house for 2 couples and 2 small dogs. Nice location for wine tasting in Paso Robles and quiet dinners at the house. Home was quiet, clean and the yard fenced for the doggies. We will come back again.
A wonderful property with every desirable amenity including a vegetable garden and gourmet spices. The listing can't completely describe how perfect it is in every respect.

We were please with our choice in rental properties! Love the beautiful back yard. So peaceful!
We spent 4 wonderful days at Vita Amarosa. The guest house was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and very private. It was furnished with everything you would need for a relaxing stay. Bren went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and at the same time give us our privacy. As an added bonus we received wonderful spices to take home and remind us of our wonderful trip every time we use them. We will definitely stay at Vita Amarosa again; we look forward to seeing the deer again.
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.

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.

Bren’s little cottage was absolutely perfect. Nice amenities and furnishings. While it’s on the same property as the owner Bren, he was respectful of our privacy and he’s a very nice man. He gave us a bunch of his famous seasonings and they made the bbq we had amazing. I will be back.

My family of 4 adults had a wonderful stay at this rental. Every detail was provided for us, all the way to a vegetable garden in the backyard where we were allowed to pick ripe produce. The backyard view was amazing and we enjoyed the interaction with the owner's dogs.
A wonderful cozy house. Very well stocked. Bren, the owner, was a delight. By the way your tomatoes were really delicious. The yard is fully enclosed. We have a dog. He loved playing with the owner's dogs and being able to run in a large enclosed area. Our grandchildren came to visit. The house has a swing and slide set plus a climbing wall. All in all a wonderful stay. We'll be back!!
