Villa Giovanni is a spacious, luxurious home that sleeps 10 - just steps from downtown Occidental and its charming shops, galleries and restaurants, and only 10 minutes from the Russian River. If you're looking for a stately house with upscale amenities, a huge yard, and a location that's private yet close to everything, you will love this home. And it's solar-powered!
The elegant furnishings in the huge living room at Villa Giovanni set the stage for this charming yet modern home. The 3 enormous picture windows overlook a terraced backyard that's graced by a grand old willow, adding to the sense of natural beauty all around.
This gorgeous kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. With lots of windows and warm colors, it's a delight to stay in and cook! Look out over the granite-topped bar from the kitchen into the dining room, where there's a working fireplace. The perfect place for guests to relax and keep the chef company.
There are 4 bedrooms with 3 queen and 1 full-sized beds, as well as a separate "plus" room with a daybed with trundle, so Villa Giovanni can comfortably sleep 10 in maximum privacy. The bedrooms (like the rest of the house) are furnished with a charming collection of antique and contemporary pieces.
The sunny backyard has a large flat area with tables, chairs, umbrellas and loungers, with glimpses of downtown Occidental beyond. Terraces provide nooks for a hammock, bench, and abundant flowering plants. With so much space, you'll be able to find just the right spot for relaxing in either the sun or shade.
This 2500 square foot home will provide you with so many comforts, yet it's solar-powered, so you will know that your stay has impacted the environment as little as possible. Come explore the beautiful village of Occidental (only 10 minutes from the Russian River) and feel your stress melt away at Villa Giovanni!
