Your guide to the Riviera

Elena Vargas grew up between Santa Barbara and Guadalajara, and she still sees the American Riviera through both lenses: ocean light, tiled courtyards and homes meant for gathering.

She specializes in villas and estates where indoor and outdoor living blur, and she pairs every listing with resort-quality photography and a clear pricing plan.
