Meet Elise & Frank, your Airbnb Superhosts
We are lovers of people, travel and adventure. Although we’ve lived abroad and are passionate about exploring the world, we feel there is no better place to call home than California's beautiful Central Coast. With the abundance of local activities, you are likely to spot us out hiking, kayaking, at a yoga class, music event or wine tasting in Edna Valley, Paso Robles, or Santa Ynez. We also enjoy history and exploring archaeological sites, road trips in our trailer, river rafting, and canyoneering. We live on the estate in the main house, and find great joy in sharing our special haven, tucked back on 3 acres that Frank lovingly tends to.
We are here to help make sure your stay in the San Luis Obispo area is relaxing, memorable and eventful. As our special guests, we will share our tips and secrets so you can live like locals, and if you have a question about the area we can point you in the right direction ensuring the best possible experiences.
5 things we love most when we travel are a clean dwelling, comfy bed, luxurious linens, good coffee, and a helpful host...we're betting that you do too! We look forward to having you as our guest!
About Hacienda Felise
With the abundance of sunny days and year-round moderate temps, any time is the best time to visit California’s Central Coast! In the heart of Arroyo Grande and Edna Valley’s wine country, natural beauty surrounds our serene 3-acre estate nestled in the rolling hills.
Hacienda Felise is so much more than just a place to stay - we offer a memorable elevated experience! For your relaxing stay at the hacienda, choose from three beautifully appointed, eco-chic dwellings, all inspired by our memorable travel adventures. Each dwelling sleeps 2 and is discretely situated around a large, Spanish-style guest courtyard, which makes for maximum privacy for everyone: Casa de los Sueños Casita with kitchen, fireplace, and all the comforts of home, Corazón Sagrado Suite or Catrina Suite (both with private entrances, ensuite bathrooms, and tea and coffee bars). A stay at Hacienda Felise is an adult-only experience, well suited for solo travelers, romantic couple’s escape, girl's getaway, nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, work remote situations, or small groups up to 6 adults seeking an inspirational retreat.
On the grounds, stroll the zen garden designed with an 'infinity walk’, see unique cactus and succulents, and be sure to spend some time in the outdoor, live bamboo oxygen room, which is perfect for yoga and meditation. At the top of the gardens there's a gazebo - an ideal spot for morning coffee, a picnic lunch, or catching the sunset. Guests can take in some R&R, unwind with a good book and enjoy the sounds of nature, wind chimes and water fountains or rally for a lively game of bocce ball. Have binoculars handy for wildlife sightings of deer, coyotes, raccoons, possums, owls, hawks, and more.
Don’t be fooled by our semi-rural location - Highway 101, Trader Joe’s, shopping, and dining are within 5 minutes of the hacienda. Nearby, discover the trail of farm stands, farmers markets, historic Village of Arroyo Grande, and Avila Valley Barn to find special locally crafted jams, pies, treats and gifts to take home. Surrounded by both coastal and vineyard wedding venues, the hacienda is centrally located so out-of-town guests can do some of their own exploring in between the festivities. While we are on the Edna Valley / Arroyo Grande Valley wine trail for some of the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the state, wine lovers can have the ultimate adventure visiting the various wine trails from Paso Robles down to Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara.
