It was by far one of the best vacation we have had in a VRBO property. The house is magical - artfully decorated and maintained. We traveled with my aging parents and was initially concerned with the steps but I had nothing to worry. They were easy to climb up and down and the hot tub was a great addition. I highly recommend the property, amenities and the views from almost any windows

This gorgeous house was well stoked and more beautiful decorated than you’d expect for a vacation rental. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted to cook all our meals and we enjoyed the space and all the puzzles and games. The hill getting there is tricky and I’d be a little nervous o go here if you want to go out and experience a lot of the night life but for our purposes it was perfect.

There were several areas that could be improved. 1. Appliances in the kitchen were not very clean. The blender needed to be scrubbed clean before using. The same with the juicer that was in the pantry also parts were missing. Most of the items we used that need cleaning were in the pantry. The stove, oven microwave were fine.2. It would be nice to have a dresser in the guest bedrooms particularly the bedroom facing the Russian River. It hard to live out of a suit case for a week.3. The step ladder provided was not ideal for getting in and out of bed. A child step or two would be better4. The bathroom for the guest bedrooms is unique. The counter space was great but the tub/shower could use a little work as there was paint peeling along the base boards and the glass was not the cleanest. We used the upstairs shower for the extent of the stay. The sink in that room drains slowly.5. There were several areas where maintenance was needed. a. The kitchen door leading to the small patio did not function properly b. The screen in the guest bedroom facing the Russian River is bent and does not close properly c. The big brown chairs in the room just off the kitchen has ripped areas behind the back cushions. 6. We did not use the hot tub or swimming pool 7. The architecture, interior design and views are spectacular. We enjoyed the kitchen area and great room. In addition, it is close to many places.

The property was very clean and well maintained. A very well stocked kitchen with some spices and other cooking necessities, which was great. The best part of the property are of course the views, pool and hot tub. It’s magical- we never felt the need to leave the house. Air conditioning in the upper floor was great since the house gets hot in the day. The downstairs stayed really pleasant. We would definitely come again!

Our party of 4 had a wonderful get-a-way - we loved being up in the trees with the birds! We practiced yoga on the patio, swam in the pool, gathered in the hot tub, ate in the kitchen, and on the veranda and in the dining room - it was all so inviting! We rented kayaks at Johnson's beach one day and hiked at Armstrong on the other. I have a personal goal of returning to this house!!!

It was FANTASTIC - the views are even better than the photos let off. All the beds were clean and the atmosphere was incredible. This is definitely a place I would like to stay again and for a longer time!-Only note for people staying is make sure your car can clear the dip if you want garage parking. We were in a super low car (Mustang) and it would not make it in garage, but the area feels extremely safe and we didn't worry 1 bit.

Beautiful stay in a perfect location

We had a group of three couples in our late 30's who needed a place to relax and use as a homebase while exploring the region. This house was perfect! The view was breath-takingly stunning, and we were lucky enough to utilize the pool because the weather was so lovely. The hot tub was wonderful, and we used it several times. There were seat options to eat for six, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. We were sad to leave and would absolutely stay again! The convenience to Safeway was also a plus.

Beautiful Home with Fantastic Views

Palazzo Marzino is a beautiful home nestled among the redwoods on the side of a mountain. It has dramatic views of the Russian River, hundreds of feet below, from the outdoor areas and from many of the abundant windows in the house. The outdoor seating areas are very nice, with great views of nature and frequent sightings of several species of beautiful birds.There are thermostat-controlled fireplaces and TVs in every bedroom. There are two larger TVs in common areas, with ample seating in which to lounge.The architecture of the house is very interesting, and it's impressive how they were able to build such an impressive and beautiful structure without disrupting nature to a larger degree. The house has many unique wall hangings and other decorations.Guests must be able to climb stairs, as all bedrooms are on a different level than the living areas. There is only one bathroom on the level with the main living area, the other two on the level with the bedrooms. The street to the house is VERY steep, but manageable by a patient driver. House numbers are not in numerical order on the street, so pay more attention to GPS than the numbers on the houses, and you will find it.
