Wow. Talk about meeting and exceeding expectations! We knew when we saw the pics on Homeaway that this house was "the one" for us. But once we got there, we were even more pleasantly surprised and pleased. My husband, myself and our 7 year old son got to enjoy this beautiful home for the whole month of July. There was nothing the owners didn't think about to provide the best hospitality. From the decor, to the kitchen accommodations, to the bath amenities, to the surround speakers, games, votive candles/holders, etc, etc.. I could go and on. Not to mention the lovely flower and herb garden, in which I picked flowers and kept them around the house in the many vases that were provided. We enjoyed fantastic dinners, at home, by the luxurious pool and soaked in the beautiful backyard scene (the lighting was on point!). We enjoyed playing ping pong, as a family, as well. During the day, my son played at the park with some of the local families and was able to attend Napa British Soccer Camp for a week of our stay. This allowed my husband and I the opportunity to go to nice lunches in Rutherford, Napa, and several of the wineries. We love Bistro Don Gionanni and the Rutherford Grill. Brunching at Meadowood wasn't bad either:) ...but, mostly, we stayed right where we were in St. Helena..Such a beautiful and safe town in which we, really and truly, felt like it was our "Home away from Home" with all the comforts of this lovely house. Walking into town for shopping and eating was such a treat, not to mention the awesome bikes the owner provided for us! I can't remember the last time I actually was able to ride a bike to the grocery store! So awesome! We rarely had to reach out to Mila, but when we did, she was very warm and receptive. We would recommend this home to anyone! It's amazing and perfect in all ways. Thank you so much for allowing us to spend the month! I can promise you that we will be back! Maybe next July! ;).
Kindly and Sincerely, The DeSantis Family from Tallahassee, FL..
