About this property

Villa Ticino wine country vineyard estate - pool, spa, bocce + walk to wineries

Villa Ticino is a wine country retreat nestled between vineyards and the Mayacamas mountain range. It is located in the heart of the Valley of the Moon and within easy walking distance to the local wineries, restaurants, and groceries of Kenwood, CA. A private gate leads to the estate vineyard and olive grove in front of the house. Spacious parking for 3+ cars steps from the front door.

The quiet fenced-in backyard offers beautiful mountain views, a heated pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, full bocce court, a gas fire pit and gathering area perfect for s’mores, and an al fresco dining patio with bbq and outdoor seating. Expansive decks frame the swimming pool that is solar heated by natural water flowing through pipes on the roof making it comfortable to swim in most of the year, and are generously furnished with chairs and chaise lounges.

The backyard garden is filled with flowers, herbs, and fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, figs, grapes, lemons, rosemary, and more), all available to guests to use while enjoying happy hour on the back deck.

Four bedrooms, including two master suites with king beds (on opposite sides of the house, for privacy), a third bedroom with a king bed, and a fourth bedroom with two twin beds. Cozy living room with gas fireplace and pool table. And a fully stocked kitchen with coffee supplies, toaster, sharp knives, and all the essential you need for cooking, if desired. Perfect for a multi-family weekend away.

We love our home’s proximity to Kenwood–there are multiple tasting rooms, restaurants, a tasty gelato shop, and coffee shop just across the street! And the property is only a few minutes drive away from the town of Glen Ellen and a 15 minute drive to the heart of Sonoma.

Very nice property! Great location for wine tasting, VJB is walking distance right across from the driveway. Several good restaurants & a coffee shop walking distance too. The house has a great layout for multiple couples to have their own space. We loved the pool, hot tub & pool table. The back yard was very pretty with flowers, herbs & fruit trees. We would definitely choose Villla Ticino again!

Beautiful house/property and area in wine country!

My girlfriends and I LOVED this property. The house is very spacious, clean, everything you need - plenty of room/bedrooms/bathrooms for everyone. But the grounds are what makes it! From the vineyards along the driveway to the in-ground very clean pool, hot tub, firepit (with a s'mores kit!), bocce, fruit trees, gorgeous flowers! Enjoy the adirondack chairs and outside dining table. It is in the small town of Kenwood and situated perfectly. Across the street is VJB Cellars (highly recommend - we met the owner), Stella restaurant (delicious), Kenwood Market, various tasting rooms, Palooza Pub, Pillowfight for coffee/breakfast sandwiches. Just down the street is Salt & Stone restaurant - fabulous brunch. The host, Jaime, was really thinking when she made the code on the door lock the last 4 digits of my cell phone! Brilliant! Everyone could easily remember it. She also provided a very thorough welcome guide/packet with ideas of places to go, things to do. The house is an easy 1.25 hr ride from San Fran airport, @ 15 minutes North of Sonoma and 15 minutes South of Santa Rosa. Very close to many, many fabulous wineries, restaurants, Armstrong Redwood Forest, Calistoga for mud baths, Glen Ellen for the best French pastry shop Les Pascals (this is a must stop for croissants, quiche). We didn't have time to tour Healdsburg so hoping we'll be back. This is the house you need to stay in for wine country!
Back of house at night. Great for star gazing!
Loads of fun at the pool. Lots of lounge chairs, beach towels, floaties.
So fun to have s'mores and wine around the firepit. The house came with a s'mores kit!

Beautiful, Relaxing, and Clean

Villa Ticino provided a lovely setting for a week of visiting family and friends. The property is exquisite - so beautiful, relaxing, and spotlessly clean (something truly hard to come by in the vacation rental world). We look forward to returning in the future.

This house was absolutely perfect for family over a recent wedding weekend. Everything was in great condition, clean, and towels/toiletries were plentiful. The highlight was the pool and garden on the hot Sonoma days. Will definitely be back to this property!

Fabulous views and amenities. Great outdoor living space.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ticino. The outdoor areas were particularly beautiful and well planned. We even cancelled our dinner reservations 2 nights to spend more time enjoying the bocce/hot tub/fire pit. Great place & very well equipped. Erika was very responsive and made sure we had all the info we needed to make the most of our visit.

Lovely Kenwood holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ticino. It was perfectly stocked with everything we needed from our 3 year old to our 81 year old. The beds were extremely comfortable with the down comforter and pillows. The location was convenient and close to local restaurants, just a walk across the street. Thank you Erika for a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Jaime Austin

Host profile image
I'm an arts professional currently living in the East Bay. This is our family's second home where we spend weekends and summers and we love it dearly. We tend the vineyard ourselves and want to share this special location with others.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the walkability and community spirit of Kenwood. Plus, our property has views of the Mayacamas mountain range and our own family vineyard.

What makes this property unique

Villa Ticino is just minutes away from wineries in Glen Ellen, hiking in Sugar Loaf State Park, and shopping on Sonoma Square, but if you choose, you don't have to drive anywhere! You can have lunch at VJB Vineyards and Cellar or dinner at Stella (both across the street), and taste at 9+ tasting rooms such as B. Wise, En Garde, Hamilton Family Vineyards, all within a 1 block walk! It's the perfect place to base to explore Sonoma Valley.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
