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.

This would easily be a 5 star property but for the noise from neighbors sawing things and leaf blowing. It still was about 4.5. Great location and super comfortable.
Property was picturesque! From turning into a gated vineyard, to a beautiful floral backyard, to the blue pool and hidden gems around the property- this is stunning!
It was a lovely home with plenty of space and everything we needed. The backyard was especially delightful with a well-designed garden, fire pit, spa, and lovely pool. Unfortunately for us, it was unseasonably cool, so the solar-heated pool was too cold to use. We would love to stay there again!
This property is a gem. Great location, exceptionally clean, and responsive host. The backyard is lovely with a pool, hot tub, outdoor seating, and plants and flowers. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed the setting. Plenty of restaurants and wineries close enough to walk to. Too cold for the pool, the backyard was spacious and plenty of seating areas.
Such a great location, home, host... was perfect for our group of 6 with 2 couples and two singles. Everyone had their own bathroom and bedroom. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again and again.
Fantastic location walkable to multiple tasting rooms, wineries, and restaurants. Beautiful home that is very well stocked. Fun amenities, comfortable beds and strong WiFi signal. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again.
The property was amazing with great amenities and location. It was super spacious, which was great for our large group. The host was extremely responsive, which was helpful.
What a beautiful and comfortable home!! We so enjoyed our time at Villa Ticino and only wished we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy the amenities and surrounding area.Jaime is the perfect host, very quickly responding to questions and offering suggestions. We hope to return!
This place was absolutely stunning. It’s in a beautiful location, walking distance to wineries, beautiful outdoor space. The host really thought of everything when it comes to the fine details. We absolutely loved it here and would definitely stay again if/when in the area.
Fantastic Home!!! We all fell in love with this wonderful property. All who stayed were successful professionals at the peak of their careers and are used to staying at 5 star properties. They all raved about, and fell in love with, this home. The backyard is hard to speak more highly of, it was the highlight of our trip.
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!

Excellent Property!
Great place to stay and close to restaurants and many wineries. Really enjoyed the backyard pool, fire pit and Bocci Ball court too.
The house is very lovely and very clean. It's also kids friendly with many toys. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed it very much.

About the host
Hosted by Jaime Austin
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.
