Like a bottle of fine wine, this bright and breezy villa in the heart of Sonoma Valley's Wine Country is the perfect place to let yourself breathe. With its light-soaked rooms, comfortable and cosy living areas and grassy garden, days here are all about unwinding in style. Take a refreshing dip in the pool, soak up the California sunshine on the poolside lounge chairs or play a game or two of bocce ball on the private court. As the sun goes down, fire up the barbecue in the summer kitchen and share a local bottle or two around the alfresco dining table. Then, if the temperature drops, head inside to the rustic family room and gather by the fire. Whether you're keen to sample some of the world's best wine or prefer to spend your holiday in the great outdoors, you'll be in the thick of it all here. There's gourmet farm-to-table dining, excellent spas and award-winning vineyards within a twenty-minute drive, while activities like horseback riding, hot-air ballooning and plenty of hiking trails are all close by, too.
