Photos and Description of the Sonoma vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, sleeps 6

This warm and charming house, a true Sonoma craftman's style built in 1891, sits on almost half an acre of land, totally enclosed to give you privacy and let you forget about the world. A nearby walking trail leads to Sonoma Plaza.

The main bedroom features a plush California king sized bed. The second and third bedrooms each have a pillow-top queen bed. Views of the Sonoma hillside are available from all bedrooms.

Relax and unwind in the lounge chairs just outside the covered back porch. To the right is a hot tub for four with an outdoor shower station, and to the left is an eating area for six with a three burner BBQ. Take a siesta after a nice meal, lie down and swing gently on the hammock for two.

The garden offers delights seasonally through year with 30 fruit trees and shrubs (peach, apple, pear, tangerine, pommelo, orange, grapefruit). Among the grove of the trees, settle back in a rocking chair, or relax on the comfortable sectional sofa under a gazebo.

Game Room: A recreation room has been added recently, with an 8' pool table, a 55' TV connected to HD cable box and Blue Ray DVD player, and a lounge/ bar area.

Wireless Connectivity: There is wireless connectivity throughout the property, so you can go to the internet with your laptop from the gazebo, the cabana, the porches, the game room or the al fresco dining area.

Orchard in A Garden Setting: There are different fruit and berries for different seasons. In spring time, there are 2 different kinds of cherries and strawberries. In summer there is an abundance of plums, followed by apricots, then yellow and white nectarines, ending with peaches. Blackberries, gold and red raspberries, along with 7 different kinds of table grapes are common in late summer. A couple varieties of apples, pears, and figs herald the arrival of fall, with chocolate and coffee cake persimmons and pomegranates ending the season. Winter is celebrated with Cara Cara oranges, limes, pommelo, grapefruit, tangerines and citron. When the all the citrus trees bloom in late winter, the whole property is perfumed with the most refreshing, soft and sweet smell. A new 3-1 pluot tree has just been planted in 2009, along with a sweet kiwi vine. Please note that due to different weather conditions, fruit yield and harvest time may vary from year to year.

Beautiful home for an amazing price!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 8, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We were visiting Sonoma for a weekend wedding and instead of all renting separate (expensive) hotel rooms, we thought the Amadora house was a great price in a very convenient location. That was enough to get us there, but when we arrived, we were so pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the grounds were (well-kept fruit garden, separate game room, gazebo, hot tub, etc.). The house and the bedrooms were also lovely and well cared for, with lots of little details and amenities (Joe even left us a bottle of wine!) that made it a much better stay than at a hotel! We'll definitely stay again if we come to Sonoma with a group. Joe is also so helpful, sending lots of suggestions and directions ahead of time. Highly recommend!

Hi Joe,

We had a fantastic time and very much enjoyed your beautiful home! The beds were so cozy, the kitchen was well supplied and we had everything we needed to make our stay an awesome family time. I couldn't believe how quiet the house was in spite of being so close to a busy intersection. My family really enjoyed the game room and my daughter especially enjoyed the hammock and being able to lay in the warm California sunshine. She is from Denver where it was snowing.

Thank you for all the good information you sent. It was all most helpful. The girls that came to clean were very pleasant and got right to work as we were walking out the door. We will definitely recommend your house to all our friends that are going to Sonoma and you will be the first one we contact for our next stay there.

Thank you again!

Sincerely,

Dick and Judy Kirby

Amazing, relaxing, perfect!

Came for a visit, never want to leave. This home has been immaculately maintained to bring out the true beauty of the vintage structure. All the modern amenities, neatly tucked away in a perfect garden hideaway. Joe made certain that everything was taken care of here. Before our trip, he sent tips on the area, places to visit, things to do, and general guidelines. Upon arrival, we were treated to a wonderful bottle of local wine, and a personalized thank you from the owner. There were five of us adults, ages 30-80, with plenty of room to spread out and relax. Sometimes we couldn't even find each other! We did plenty of sightseeing and touring of vineyards and wineries with the help of the Napa Wine Shuttle, plus had our own car for quick trips around town. There was truly nothing left out in the planning and care of this rental. Highly recommend it!

Amadora in Sonoma - Excellent!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 14, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My wife, daughter, two granddaughters, and youngest son stayed at Amadora for a week prior to and just following our other son's wedding to a local Sonoma lass. Our son lives in Sonoma, too, so we know the area quite well. We were very pleased with the house, extra room (billiard room with bathroom/shower & sleeper couch), and gardens. We also had a brother-in-law and his wife for a couple of nights; they are quite discerning and really liked the house as did our new daughter-in-law's parents! Our youngest son (22) stayed in the billiard room and appreciated it greatly.

The main house has a very nice kitchen, dining room, living room, sun room (with french doors), three bedrooms, and 1 and 1/2 bathrooms (the latter by one of the rooms). The beds are very comfy! The entire house has wonderful windows that provide beautiful sunlight and open easily for morning cooling. The large porch with chairs was a treat, especially for the girls!

The garden is beautiful and fun to wander through; we enjoyed the greenhouse, and the covered seating area with its fountain and chandelier. We also enjoyed sampling fruit from the trees, grapevines, berries and strawberries, as well as the many flowers! Although we did not have the time to enjoy either the hot tub or BBQ, they are very nice and we wish we could have used them.

Although about a mile from the Plaza, Amadora is actually well-situated. The biking/walking path to the downtown/Plaza area is nearby and is a very nice walk/ride that takes one past the Vallejo family house (run by State Parks). Driving into town is very easy, especially if one takes Verano east from the house rather than using Hwy 12. (Check a map.) A grocery store, drug store, and Starbucks are nearby (about 1/8 mile away), and restaurants are nearby, too. A park with many walking paths is just across Hwy 12. And the delightful Sonoma wineries to the north are easily accessed on via Hwy 12 or Arnold Drive. (IMHO, Sonoma wines and the Sonoma Valley are better than Napa.)

Joe is very well organized and easy to work with; he explains everything and even provided a binder (on the dining room table) that answered every question about the house and gardens. The housekeeper had the house ready and in great shape; the gardener does a fine job, too. Access by foot and vehicle is very good; parking behind large gates is ample for two vehicles and there is parking on-street, too.

Thank you very much for everything, Joe!

Joe,

Thank you very much for opening your home to us. You have a lovely home. The decor was beautiful. We really felt at home there and had a wonderful time. My husband even joked that we should hire you to decorate our home. :) You're lists were extremely helpful. I would love to come back to Amadora for another visit and I will highly recommend your house to everyone I know.

Thanks again,
Katie
