Listing Description

Welcome to Casa Bella. Situated on almost two acres in the heart of Sonoma Valley Wine Country, this vintage estate has been lovingly restored and today functions as a licensed Inn. Sophisticated elegance abounds throughout the property as well as the main house and its additional guest suite and cottage. Plus, there is so much more potential to be had: family compound, private residence, possible vacation rental and more.

Located in Kenwood village and just minutes from Glen Ellen and historic Sonoma and nestled on manicured grounds, Casa Bella is a rarely available chance to own a historic part of Wine Country. Built in 1912, the original house has been graced with Landmark Designation status - evident throughout the home. The two-story California Craftsman-style house retains much of its original Arts & Crafts embellishments including wide hallways, airy rooms, incredible natural woodwork, original oak floors and large sunny windows. New finishes include whimsical details like contemporary chandeliers and furnishings, striking window treatments and designer paint colors. 

The Main House:
The wide and inviting front porch of the main house harkens back to a graceful bygone era where enjoying afternoon cordials was given high priority. A gracious foyer, flanked on either side by a parlor and formal living room with wood burning fireplace, is brightened by large windows and a glass fronted door. The stately formal dining room can easily seat a dozen guests with a lovely view of the side gardens. Throughout, clear redwood paneling, wide baseboards and trim as well as a series of fabulous tapered doorway columns underscore the architectural integrity of Casa Bella while fanciful additions give the space an updated, 21st century feel.
Also on the main floor, a country kitchen is ready to serve either Inn guests or a hungry family. With its abundant storage, granite counters, professional appliances and walk in pantry, this is a kitchen built for efficiency. Just off the kitchen, the innkeeper’ quarters or additional guest suite features a sitting room, bedroom and full bath. A private massage suite, full basement and a powder room round out the amenities.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four large bedrooms, with their own full bathrooms. Each bedroom has an outlook on a different part of the countryside including views of the Kenwood hills in back and Sugarloaf Ridge and the Mayacama Mountains via a balcony accessible by the two front rooms. One bedroom functions as a guest suite with either a sitting room or additional bedroom space, perfect for family and additional guests. 

The Dolce Suite:
With its own private entrance in the main house, the Dolce Suite is a delight waiting to be discovered. Newly remodeled, the Suite features a living room and separate bedroom as well as a sumptuous full bath. The tidy front porch is a perfect spot to catch the afternoon breezes or watch a far off game of bocce on the inn’s court. 

Bella Luna Cottage:
With its secluded setting and room to sleep six guests, the Cottage provides an ideal setting for families, reunions, wedding parties and so much more in the way of Wine Country fun. With loads of room to spread out, the Cottage features an open living space with full kitchen, a den, and French doors that open onto a private outdoor patio with picnic area. The master bedroom with large closet and full bath leads to a vintage water tower brightened by skylights. 

The Grounds and Amenities:
Surprises await on Casa Bella’s sprawling property. On a stroll to the eight-person hot tub, surrounded by private cabanas, take a moment to meditate in the garden. Shaded by a large vintage oak tree, the garden can be your quiet respite after a day of wine tasting or exploring the countryside. Further on, the labyrinth is another meditative spot, its circles perhaps representing the twists and turns that led you to Wine Country’s delights. Don’t forget to play a game of bocce on the Inn’s well-maintained court. At almost every turn, chaise lounges or garden seating allows guests and friends to sit, relax and take in the natural splendor of the property while a fragrant fruit orchard begs to be explored. 

Overview:
Whether used as a fabulous and spacious family compound, an established and renowned country Inn or a possible a vacation rental, this historic home and its grounds are elegance personified. Plus, the proximity to world class wineries, fine restaurants, shopping and more puts Casa Bella in a class unto itself. The newly added Dolce Suite and Bella Luna Cottage make statements unto themselves, adding both privacy and lodging. The grounds embody the relaxed atmosphere representative of Wine Country, so look no further for your next Wine Country retreat.
