If scent truly evokes the sharpest memories, your time at Villa Arcady will be very easy to recall with its rolling, Tuscan-like gardens, laden with fruit and heavy with the scent of jasmine, citrus and rosemary. Studded with a profusion of fragrant and delicious loquats, lemons, limes, key limes, kumquats, tangerine and raised herb garden beds, they and the home's rolling and multi-tiered grounds provide privacy, tranquility and refreshment. Perched below and above postcard perfect panoramas, you’ll appreciate the “fragrant” garden’s memory boosting power as there will be a lot worth remembering: From the sharp peaked emerald mountains fading to indigo after a fiery sunset to the ethereal yet common sight of Santa Barbara’s Channel Islands appearing to float on a carpet of cloud beneath a cloudless sunrise. An idyllic setting made ideal for entertaining or just lounging with its half dozen or more different outdoor spots, each with its own special charms and features. Spread all around the property, no matter the time there’s always another spot to lay still in the sun. Once that goes down for good, everyone can stay warm beside the front terrace’s massive gas fireplace. The most popular outdoor spots are the guest house roof terrace with its stunning ocean views and the front terrace which boasts equally stunning mountain views. The front terrace, ornamented with potted olive and citrus trees, magical landscape lighting and a historic sculpture and furnished with a large dining table, fireside couch, love seats, umbrella and built-in speakers, is a garden oasis. Besides, the views, the roof terrace features massive jade planters, terracotta, chic semi-circle shaped whicker and green cushioned couch from Restoration Hardware.
