Amenities
Villaggio is designed to foster carefree living for our residents. We have designed a full slate of services, resources and activities to meet every need.
Lifestyle
How do we describe the Villaggio SLO Lifestyle? It’s one that celebrates the freedom of senior years while respecting individual preferences and needs. Villaggio is a welcoming neighborhood of people with different tastes and preferences and a shared belief that seniors can step back from the rigors of middle age – careers, families, homes to maintain – and find more time to just enjoy life.
Residents can choose to participate in dozens of activities – or none at all. The true beauty of Villaggio is in the choices it offers. Villaggio is not a pep rally of endless activity, but a tasteful, respectful community that offers the best in senior living and the assurance that changing health needs are easily addressed as part of the plan.
New to San Luis Obispo? Welcome to our vibrant, caring community whose small‐town charm melds with sophistication, thanks in part to the presence of renowned Cal Poly State University in our backyard. San Luis Obispo is a wonderful place located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. And when you hear reference to the “SLO Life” – that means just what you might guess: a relaxed, friendly, safe and welcoming community. Find out more here.
Dining
Villaggio is developing dining options to meet every taste and style. Whether it’s casual grab‐and‐go food, a sit‐down breakfast, lunch or dinner at our fine dining restaurant, or evening cocktail at our tapas bar, we have it all.
Our dining plans are in development. We are focusing on healthy, fresh foods and local produce prepared with skill and artistry. And of course, all Villaggio dining will address special dietary needs. Check our site from time to time to watch our progress. We’ll share menus and other information.
