This place is perfect! The property itself is beautiful. The outside is gorgeously landscaped with plants, statues, fountains and places to sit to take it all in. The inside is so luxurious! The decor, cleanliness and all the attention to details (tea, coffee, amenities) make for a pampered feeling from the start. We were greeted by the owner on arrival and she was so welcoming. The chef, the other half of the ownership, is hands down magic in the kitchen. They serve an exquisite breakfast and have small plates and wine tasting daily. IT WAS AMAZING! We were on a weekend getaway and we felt transported in this place. It was the perfect place to stay while enjoying wine country. Thank you so much for such a luxurious weekend! 100% will recommend!

Ciao George! Grazie Mille ... your review sums-up The Canyon Villa perfectly. Strolling the Villa's property taking in the commanding vistas, enjoying meeting new friends at Wine Hour or savoring locally sourced organic foods from the Farmer's Market for breakfast, you nailed our unique brand of hospitality.

My fiancé and I took a weekend trip to Paso Robles and we were blown away by our experience at The Canyon Villa. The property is truly one of kind with breathtaking vistas that transport you to a Tuscan holiday. The proprietors, Kath and Wills take pride in their hospitality and made us feel like a part of the family. The proximity to the downtown area and wineries made our wine touring and dining a breeze! Our room was very well appointed with plush linens, spa-like bathroom, and a warm decor. Being a four-room villa creates an intimate experience with the other guests who we enjoyed getting to know over our stay. Kath went out of her way to make sure every detail was designed to give us a unique and memorable experience. Chef Wills delivers a Michelin Star level dining…

We recently stayed here for three nights in March. Wills and Katherine are great hosts! Wills is a professional chef, having worked at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles for 30 years. He puts so much energy and thought into breakfast that it will blow you away. Kath has developed a bird feeding program that attracts so many interesting birds that we were enthralled. Where else will you see quail, doves, jays, wrens, orioles marching/flying past your door and window on a daily basis? Just the sounds of the birds make this worth a visit. Both of the hosts make a point of introducing all the guests to each other. There is a daily evening wine tasting hour where we had some good conversations with other guests and also we were quite impressed that both hosts spend an hour or more…

We love the Paso area and have stayed at some lovely places in the area including the Hotel Cheval and the guest accommodations at the Justin Winery, but nothing compares to our experience at The Canyon Villa! Where to start? Everything about our stay at The Canyo Villa was perfect, from the comfortable guest rooms, the beautiful location, the fabulous food, to our gracious hosts Wills and Kath. This was a Covid postponed birthday/anniversary/"we survived 2020" celebration for our group of eight. We arrived for our four-day stay on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed Sunday's appetizer hour and dinner with a local winemaker - an absolute must if your schedule allows it! While our days were spent wine tasting and sightseeing in and around Paso, we choose to dine at the Canyon…

We just returned from a wonderful three day stay at The Canyon Villa. Wills and Kath were the most gracious hosts attending to every need. Our daily 5:30 PM happy hour with Chef Wills appetizers and some very enjoyable wines along with the other guests was such a delight. Breakfast each morning was amazing. We were lucky enough to enjoy the Sunday Supper which was an evening I will never forget. So much laughter which we all needed, sharing stories and enjoying everyone’s company along with the wonderful meal prepared by Chef Wills. It truly topped off our weekend! The Villa is beautiful, very private and peaceful. All the rooms are perfect each with a huge bathroom and beautiful views. We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you Kath and Wills for sharing your home.

Stunning property, remarkable hosts and phenomenal food. Could not have asked for a better place to spend 25 year anniversary.

We spent a fantastic 4 days with owners Wills and Kath and friends celebrating our 26th anniversary and our friends 50th birthday. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful holiday! The Villa is perched on top of a hill with picturesque views of vines in all directions. The garden smelled of rosemary, lavender and the tall cypress baking in the California sun. Chef Wills prepared gourmet breakfasts which we enjoyed outside on the terrace with fresh juice and wonderful coffee. And the best was wine hour in the late afternoon when we sampled wines and enjoyed imaginative, gourmet cheese plates with ingredients from the local farmer's market to create scrumptious bruschetta, home made pickles or hummus. Always a treat to look forward to. So sad to leave but sure we will…

We stayed at this luxurious B&B for 3 nights in August and enjoyed every minute! Just like our first stay 2 years ago, we appreciated the fantastic service provided by Wills and Kath, the comfortable room with lovely views and the proximity to town. And of course there was the food - superb! Wills is a fabulous chef and we thoroughly enjoyed the wine hour snacks, breakfasts and private dinner we took advantage of this time. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in Paso.
