Stunning Tuscan House in the Heart of Sonoma's Wine Country

Set among the legendary hills of Glen Ellen that adventurer Jack London made famous in his novels, our Tuscan home shares the same pristine views that drew London to settle here. Just minutes outside of the charming village, this sumptuous 11-acre estate enjoys complete privacy and is designed to fully embrace the wine country lifestyle.

Take the two-lane road from the village of Glen Ellen then up the private drive to Villa Bacchus and find yourself in a sunny, secluded retreat designed with every element you need to relax, play and celebrate with friends and family. Architect and nationally known artist, Dennis Ziemienski, created a stunning contemporary expression of wine country living that is in harmony with the land and its history.

The driveway circles around a tall fountain, and the main house, the guest house and the garage all border on the drive. The buildings design was inspired by Andrea Palladio, a Renaissance master, and one of the most influential architects in the Western world. His concepts have been translated into a sophisticated estate that surrounds you with luxurious details that satisfy all your desires for relaxation and recreation in an elegant, yet comfortable manner.

The main house shares the architectural design of the cottage and special design details abound. The ground floor has a full kitchen with birdseye maple cabinets, a Wolf range and oven, stainless appliances, a dishwasher and concrete counters with an adjoining dining area.

A faux painted arch opens to the large living room and its soft burnt umber walls, travertine floors and Venetian Murano lights that hang from a vaulted ceiling. Spend some quiet time in front of the fireplace as you enjoy the comfortable seating arrangement. Double doors lead out to a café table and chairs that face the central fountain.

The bathroom is on the main floor and features a tiled, glass-front shower, and a freestanding vanity with an ultra-modern sink on a “floating” concrete counter.

Tile floors in the entryway and the stairs are coated with a copper patina for a subtle metallic sheen. A bedroom suite occupies the entire second story with its views of the hillsides and glass doors that open to a “Juliet” balcony, which overlooks the central fountain. A king bed, desk and seating area make this a tranquil place to unwind.

The estate's owners reside on the property and are available to assist you in planning your visit, but are far enough away to provide you with complete privacy.

The cottage complies will all county vacation rental ordinances (Vacation Rental License No: LIC24-0080).

Keywords: Separate house, Wine Country, Full Kitchen, Large Living Area, Glen Ellen, King Bed, Sonoma, Privacy, Secluded, Fireplace

We wanted to get out of the city for a few days of quiet relaxation. It was the perfect spot to be cozy inside the beautifully appointed guest house or enjoy outdoors at a nearby state park. The hosts were friendly and attentive. The property matched the description and then some! We highly recommend staying in this lovely place.

We *loved* our stay at this property! It was so quiet and peaceful, with wildlife sightings and the privacy we craved for our anniversary getaway, yet within easy driving distance to everything—wineries, restaurants, shops, etc. The cottage itself was gorgeous, with everything we needed for our stay. It was clean, spacious, and the communication with the owners were fantastic. Joshua and Tim were so gracious and welcoming. We can't wait to visit again!

Truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful place. We slept so well, with windows open and cool temperatures at night. Waking up to total peace with only turkeys, squirrels, and bird sounds. Loved watching the deer on the property and having such privacy. Joshua was the perfect host and we had everything we could have ever needed.

Exceptional experience once again. Superb quarters and well cared for. Very clean.

This property once again is cared for by attentive owners who are both very responsive and careful to keep an eye out for the rental without being intrusive. Ultra quiet setting, beautifully cared for and conveniently close to the village. The central location makes visiting all of the appellations in this area of the state most handy. Definitely an excellent value for the fee. This is one property to keep on your go to list for top rentals available in this part of California.

Fantastic, comfortable, memorable!

We stayed at the cottage for a week and can't say enough good things about our stay. The area is beautiful and the accommodations left nothing to be desired, from a welcome bottle of wine and delicious cheese to the clean, well-supplied cottage, to Joshua and Tim who couldn't have been nicer and more helpful, every need for a wonderful vacation in wine country was met. This is a nice private get-away that's close to all that the area has to offer and it was easy to get from here to all areas for wine ventures, hiking, and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding area. Highly recommend as much time as you can spend in this wonderful villa, you'll love it!
