The Villa Fabulosa was perfect for our Birthday/Family Reunion event! It was extremely well appointed and the pool was perfect for all ages to enjoy. So nice to have room for the little kids to run around and other entertainment for all ages. We were there three full days and never ran out of things to do. The owner was available and so helpful whenever we needed him. Wine tasting close, outdoor kitchen was wonderful - we had all our meals in house and everyone had an amazing time. Highly recommend this incredible Villa.

We loved our visit to this home. It was a big family reunion and there was so much to do at the home that we really did not ever leave, other than a short trip to the farmers market in old Temecula. We were there for four days and our entire family which included our children and grandchildren, had a trip and experience that they will never forget. In fact, many of them have said when will we get to go back there again. The home had everything you could possibly need and the landlord was very helpful and very responsive to any questions we had all in all it was a tremendous experience.

Our host, Alex was amazing. He was extremely accommodating and helpful at every step. Communication was excellent from the time we first reserved the property thru the entire stay. The QR codes were extremely helpful around the home and the property was beautiful. We hosted a 100th birthday party and everyone enjoyed the property. The grandkids enjoyed the activities such as cornhole, pickleball and everyone enjoyed the mini golf. The property was as perfect as the evening weather was. Sunsets were beautiful every night. Alex also provided suggestions on things to do in the town and he checked in with us the first night to be sure everything was to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend a stay at this amazing property. The name describes the property to perfection, Fabulosa!!

We had an amazing experience at Villa Fabulosa and can’t recommend it enough.From the start, Alex was an incredible host. Communication was clear, thoughtful, and timely, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. He set us up for success before we even arrived.The property itself exceeded expectations. Beautiful setting, great layout for a group, and everything was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. The outdoor space especially made the trip memorable.What stood out most was how seamless the entire experience felt from before arrival through the end of the stay. Alex was attentive without being intrusive, and everything just worked.Overall, one of the best group stays we’ve had. Huge thanks to Alex for creating such a special experience. We would absolutely come back.

Exceeded Every Expectation-This home and its owners exceeded our expectations in every way. The house was stunning and spotless—down to the ceiling vents—and the owners were incredibly responsive. We noticed thoughtful touches at every turn: extra propane tanks, drinkable filtered ice and water (a rare find with rentals), seasonal fall décor on the table, genuinely sharp kitchen knives, and QR-code tutorials for everything. The sunset views were breathtaking, and the location is perfect for visiting nearby wineries and great restaurants. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs and this one stands out for both quality and care. The listing photos don’t do justice to how beautiful the home is in person. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

Villa Fabulosa offers plenty of space and activities for everyone to be entertained The views are beautiful and every morning we were greeted with the site of hot air balloons in the sky. The home is also easily accessible for a family member who requires a motorized scooter for mobility. Our host Alex was easily accessible and responded quickly to our questions.

VILLA FABULOSA deserves to be displayed in all caps! We are a well traveled group of friends and we have never stayed at so fine a property with so many things to entertain us. The property is beautiful, well maintained and spotless. It will take your breath away. The host is particularly top notch and is very accommodating. The experience is completely 5 stars. If I could give it more stars I would. We plan to return. So don't hesitate to book the Villa. In case you are interested ask about booking a private pickleball lesson. It really made a difference.

Perfect Family Vacation!!!!

I can't say enough about what a beautiful, special home this is. It surpasses the photos and the views are so amazing, you really have to see it in person. We had a 4 day multi-generational family vacation that was perfect for everyone from 4-68!! The backyard alone is worth the stay. There are so many activities from mini golf to pickleball to the putting green to the pool, but the outdoor kitchen is the best! We cooked breakfast and dinner outside. It's the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen, all while enjoying the yard and views. The bedrooms are all in separate areas of the home so privacy was excellent. Our 6 year old granddaughter told me that when she grows up she wants to live there!! It is beautiful and classy while being homey at the same time. We will be back for sure!!!

Stunning home and spectacular hospitality

From the moment you arrive at Villa Fabulosa, you feel as if you've been transported to another country. It's Ibiza-inspired charm is felt around every corner, from the clean architectural lines to the stunning panoramic vistas of Temecula. The kitchen is the BEST stocked kitchen I've ever come across in a vacation home. Everything to feed a crowd is there and if you're a coffee lover, there is even a milk frother! The house operates like a smart house, but fear not, there are QR codes everywhere that take you to videos showing you how to operate everything. The hospitality was unmatched. Alex, the host, even welcomed us with a special basket of goodies upon arrival and communicated with us every step of the way. It was so hard leaving this place. I'll miss the views most of all, particularly when there are dozens of hot air balloons filling the sky. We'll be back!

Amazing property, great host.

To say that this property exceeded our expectations would be an understatement! My team and I frequently stay at large, luxury properties around the country and this is one of the best. Villa Fabulosa was new, clean, well stocked, and had amenities we've never seen at any other property. The kitchens were AMAZING and we ended up cancelling dinners at restaurants to be able to stay on the property and use them. The furniture was excellent and it was impossible for us to find anything to complain about. To add to the entire experience, working with the owner was fantastic. Communication was thorough, clear, and friendly. There are instructions throughout the property to answer every conceivable question and we had zero problems. Our stay was so exceptional that we are already booking our next trip at this Villa again so that it doesn't book up and we'd miss out.

Beyond expectations!

Quite simply, we didn't want to leave! We had high expectations and we were stunned when reality surpassed all of them. Because of the privacy and security, the adults were able to relax and visit while the kids explored all of the fun, thoroughly enjoying all of the amenities without needing to constantly shush them. In fact, we didn't even have enough time to enjoy all of the amenities! We didn't need anything - everything was provided for us from kitchen basics (even decaf coffee!) to pool towels and sports equipment. Everything in the house is labelled and several have QR codes with directions on how to operate them - genius! Alex was prompt to respond to all inquiries, making sure our visit was fabulosa! We can't wait to return!!
