Alana and Jo were very communicative, calling to see if we had any questions about the property before we arrived, always available during our stay and even treated us to a bottle of wine. Their messages were always warm and helpful. The house itself was clean, well stocked and just lovely. We enjoyed the different spaces available, including the large deck with views of wine country. The beds were comfortable and the showers had great water pressure. Perfect location; remote enough to provide privacy and close enough to Sonoma square to have access to shops, restaurants and groceries.

Every aspect of this amazing villa feels like it was intentionally planned for the ultimate guest experience. The deck/balcony overlooking the valley was a definite highlight. Super comfy beds, luxury appointed bathrooms, and a serene pool topped it off! I would definitely recommend this home with 5 plus stars and hope I can visit again soon! ##### Rana K.

As detailed in so many previous reviews, this is a wonderful home. The view of the valley from the large deck is just what I was looking for and the pool was great. The furnishings were exceptional and very comfortable. Even the bed and bath linens were top quality. The kitchen was stocked with more than enough of the basics. I really can't think of anything that was lacking. All in all, this home made for a very relaxing, rejuvenating getaway. ##### Alice M.

The location is convenient to the main square in Sonoma and yet it feels like the property is remote given the stunning landscape views. The house is cozy and comfortable with multiple seating locations for working, eating or reading. Jo is a lovely host and very communicative. She will reach out via phone to provide an overview and recommendations on things to do locally. Highly recommended! ##### Michelle G.

Do not believe Jo's explanation of the pool's condition.The window's are all filthy dirty.Will not never book VRBO ever again, as your cleaning fee is a scam.Anthony. ##### Anthony S.
