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).

Out of This World

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.

The Best of Glen Ellen

Everything the host posted was 100% accurate and if anything the property exceeds the advertising. We especially enjoyed the quiet and seclusion. Nothing but natural beauty visible as far as the eye can see, tucked away in a small canyon.

Wonderful relaxing getaway

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful villa in a lovely, quiet setting. The hosts have equipped the place through and through -- terrific kitchen, thoughtful and beautiful furnishings, great sound system, etc. Joshua and Tim provided terrific recommendations for things to do in the area, and we took advantage of their advice on restaurants, hikes, and nearby cultural sites. We will be recommending our friends to stay here on their next visit to the Wine Country ... and I suspect we will be back, too!

Peaceful paradise

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. I highly recommend this beautiful place and hope to return myself in the very near future.

Tuscan villa magic

Joshua was an excellent host who met us upon arrival, was communicative and very helpful. The villa is an amazing escape, well appointed, clean and on lovely grounds. The whole house speaker system was a lot of fun as well as the wood fireplace, large bed, and having two stories to spread out. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home, great hosts!

My husband and I were in the Napa area for Bottlerock Music Festival, our first time. The Tuscan cottage was beautiful, clean and spacious. Loved the music throughout the house. Joshua was a wonderful host. He and his dog greeted us as we drove in and showed us around. It was lovely to have him there on the property. We would definitely stay here again!

Sonoma Retreat

My wife and I had the privilege of staying at this wonderful property in Glen Ellen. The cottage is beautiful and perfect for a couple with all the comforts of home. The location is secluded and quiet yet just a short drive to restaurants and local area wineries. The best part were the super hospitable and attentive property owners. Easy to communicate with and genuinely concerned about the quality of our stay. We can't say enough about this great find and will be returning in the future...6 star rating!!!

Escape to tranquil, beautiful cottage

We found this cottage the perfect fit for the couple looking for a serene, private escape from the usual crowds in wine country. We were very impressed with the its cleanliness, decor and sophisticated, well equipped kitchen and bath. Josh was excellent to work with and quite responsive. This property is managed about as efficiently and expertly as you could ever expect. Its central location to wineries in both Sonoma and Napa valleys is very appealing. The Glen Ellen market is just pure fun to shop for groceries to prepare meals at the cottage. Overall we found our stay here as comfortable as it gets. Add that to the amazing beauty of the location and you have unforgettable, pleasant experience - start to finish.

Best Ever

We have traveled to a lot of places in U.S. and abroad. This is flat out one of the nicest places we have ever been. It is like an old Italian villa with modern electronics. There is a long winding road to access the house which makes it a bit difficult to find the first time, but becomes quite easy with repetition. It makes a perfect getaway. The only unusual aspect was the bathroom was on the first floor, but overall we loved it. Wine and cheese greeted us when we arrived and coffee beans were there for the grinder. What could be better?

A very romantic and peaceful setting. After one night it felt like our own home away from home. Hosts fine gentlemen. The local Deers paid a visit every morning outside our window. Stars at night. Glen Ellen a mile down the road. Thumbs up to Glen Ellen Star restaurant. easy access to the Oakville Grade and wine country. Look forward to a return visit.

Just Incredible

This rental was perfection. Joshua and Tim clearly take so much pride in their property, it was exactly the backdrop we needed for a wine country getaway. The rental itself is even better in person than the pictures portray. In addition, Joshua was so helpful offering up advice on wineries and restaurants whenever my wife or I solicited his help. Such an excellent host! If you're going on vacation in the Sonoma area and looking at this place, just stop searching and book it. You will not regret it at all.
