  We were immediately taken by the sense of calm and beauty of this property. the house had a charm about it that is indescribable until you step foot inside. We were transported away from the hustle and bustle of city life and by the end of the weekend, we didn't want to leave. I've been looking for an excuse to come back ever since!

  We've stayed at many rental houses over the years, and this was one of the best. It is comfortable, roomy, well decorated (but not overdone) and well equipped. We stayed with two other couples and all had plenty of space, if we wanted it, and good "together space" as well. The garden was superb. We would definitely go again. There was only one negative; at least in our bedroom you could hear morning traffic from the main road which took away some of the tranquility.

  Five of us stayed at Milfiori and had an amazing and relaxing time. The house is very clean, quaint, and comfortable. It is also larger than the pictures show with lots of sitting space from the kitchen, to the living room, family room, and there is also a little sitting room upstairs if you'd like to read and relax. Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked in a couple of nights. The property is awesome and spacious featuring fun a wrap around porch and just space to wander and enjoy the grounds. Great spot for taking some photos. It is only about 1 mile into town so very easy to drive to town. The owner was very helpful in meeting us when we arrived, showing us the house, and answering any questions we had. I would highly recommend the property and we will be returning for sure since we enjoyed it so much!! The house has so much character and you truly feel like you've gotten away from the hustle and bustle of every day life!!

  We had a great weekend getaway for the 6 of us gals. Milfiori offers a variety of sleeping options, sitting areas and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen offers all the convienences of modern day kitchens and is well stocked with everything you need. The house is actually bigger and more spacious than it appears on the website. It is clean and tastefully decorated. The outside area has plenty of areas to explore or just sit and enjoy the quiet, serene atmosphere. I would not recommend walking to Murphys but it is a very short drive. The owner was available, accommodating, communicative and wasy to work with. The only recommendation I could make is a BBQ for the premises.

  We rented Milfiori for the weekend of my 70th birthday. Couldn't have asked for better; the house was very clean, comfortable and roomy. Well away from the noise & bustle of Murphys but still within very easy driving range.

  We spent a long weekend in October at Milfiori with two other couples and had a most memorable stay. The farmhouse is perfect for three couples with the master having a full ensuite bathroom and the two remaining bedrooms each having ensuite half baths plus a claw foot tub in one bedroom and access to another full bathroom with a shower for the other bedroom. Milfiori is furnished with antiques and charming collections. The beds were very comfortable and there were several comfortable seating areas from which to choose. The open plan kitchen and dining room were the hub for both meals and just relaxing. However, my very favorite place was the wraparound porch where numerous seating choices could be had to sit, relax, and take in the extensive gardens and the beautiful old stone building on the property. There were also numerous seating areas through the gardens. Behind the great old hay barn, some willow chairs and a table beckoned one to sit down and enjoy the scenic gold country hillside. Wineries are close by as is the town of Murphys with many dining choices and tasting rooms and a very good Saturday walking tour that is complimentary and very informative. A perfect weekend stay in perfect location. We hope to return in the spring sometime to see the gardens in their full glory.

  Milfiori is a wonderful 3 bedroom home less than miles from the town of Murphys. It is spacious and airey and surrounded on all sides by beautiful gardens. The property was clean and well-maintained and the owner was very accommodating. We will return someday and would definitely recommend the property to all of our friends.

  My family and I just spent a most memorable Thanksgiving at Milfiori. You'll find the home spacious and inviting. It's wonderfully decorated to the point you'll feel you're in a fancy gift boutique - you can browse for hours just looking at all the interesting decorations. The historic feel of the home has been preserved though baths and kitchen are up-to-date. Each bedroom has it's own unique character. Outside you'll find a great wrap-around porch, beautiful gardens, a yard big enough for some touch football, the historic "Italian store" from the gold rush days, and a beautiful rustic barn. Don't forget a few trips into friendly Murphys for some shopping, wine tasting and great restaurants. When you finish your stay at Milfiori you'll find yourself planning your next trip there.

  This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed..my family and I did not want to leave..the comfortable accommodations are more than adequate for a party of six and the bathrooms and kitchen are modern while maintaining the bygone charm of another time and place. The grounds are beautifully maintained and we found so many little places to just sit, relax and enjoy a gorgeous morning. It is convenient to many places in the surrounding area for sight seeing, shopping, wine tasting and dining out. Milfiori would be a wonderful place for a garden wedding as it is such a romantic setting.
