Los Gatos is an upscale, walkable town on the edge of the Santa Cruz Mountains with a lively downtown of boutiques, cafes and farm‑to‑table restaurants, a popular farmers’ market, Vasona Lake Park and miles of scenic hiking and biking—great for comfortable multi‑week stays.
You’re also about 10 miles from San Jose for big‑city amenities and hospitals, with Santa Cruz (~30 miles) and San Francisco (~50 miles) close enough for beach days, nightlife and museums, so there’s plenty to do on days off.
