A beautiful quiet property tucked away in the redwoods. We had a very nice time with our young kids, and getting to and from Monte Rio for food and river time was easy. We also dipped in the creek on the property (the weather was cool for our visit but this would have been a great option in warmer weather). Overall had a wonderful stay.

This house is spectacular; has everything and anything you will ever need! Fantastic location to either Guerneville, Duncan Mills and the coast (Goat Rock Beach a must)! House was impeccably clean and the access to Austin Creek behind the home was great for our dog to romp around in.

This was our 2nd time staying at Villa Ratto. We will be back again! The house is set up with everything you could possibly want/need in a vacation home. The host is exceptional- responsive and helpful. The setting is beautiful and offers privacy/quiet yet is close enough if you want to go grab something to eat! We love it here and are anxious to come back!

Wonderful property, great host! I had some difficulty getting the fireplace going without triggering the smoke and fire alarm going off. He walked me through the whole process very patiently, and then talking to my daughter about the whole history of the place. Great experience!

Idyllic

Perfect spot for families with kids - they spent hours and hours playing in the meadow. Sunshine, redwoods, smores at the campfire, and access to the creek - what more can you want? Kitchen spacious and well appointed. Private, quiet, clean - this is our second visit and we'd love to make it an annual tradition.

Amazing property

This was our second time at villa ratto and my family has begun to think of it as our sanctuary away from the city. The yard- the creek- the fire pit and hot tub- it is simply perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary equipment and the beds are super comfortable.

Thanksgiving Holiday

Our family enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving at this amazing property. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our holiday meal, we lacked for nothing. We loved the redwood trees and fruit trees on the property and the flat area was great for playing cornhole. We used the fire pit and jacuzzi almost every night. We will recommend this property to all our family and friends.

Above Expectations

Everything about this home exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was huge and contained more items than any gourmet cook could hope for. It was near a large table that was perfect for group meals and family games. The hot tub was the best we have ever used - very clean, hot and great jets. Thank you for a great time!
