Note, this doesn’t allow to add a loft area, so the seventh bedroom isn’t a full bedroom but a loft in the guest cottage. Also in the main house, the fourth bedroom with a bunk bed and a trundle has a dedicated staircase to a little common area with a closet and a full bathroom but no door on the actual bedroom. But the dedicated staircase provides privacy. Please contact the host if this isn’t clear.
Please note there are exterior surveillance cameras that are always on with motion sensor for security purposes: 1: main gate entry 2: along the driveway 3: driveway circle facing the guest house 4: driveway circle facing the main house 5: driveway circle facing the pool house 6: main house entry 7: backyard (including the pool) 8: left side of the house

We had a group of four siblings and their children/significant others stay for two nights for a wedding. We got the optional pool and guest houses in addition to the 5 bedrooms in the huge home. Among the features we enjoyed were the entertainment room to watch movies, pool table upstairs, view from the turret, the master suite and its huge Jacuzzi tub (the suite probably was larger than my first house!), small lake and boat, wonderful pool (about 20-25 yards long), huge kitchen with granite lazy Susan and eating area, and beautiful grounds. This is obviously a place for large families or a couple of families. It's a

About the host
Hosted by Yuri Veber
Our castle home is a modern retreat that we hope many familes, groups and friends will enjoy. As a UC Davis alum, the town of Davis is special and has many memories for me. I want to share our special place with our guests. There is nothing else around that offers the amenities and serenity that Castello di Macero offers.
Why they chose this property
The surrounding farms offer a sense of peace and nature. The safety of the gated surroundings make this an ideal place for groups to gather. Miles of surrounding trails for running and biking make excursions easy around the farms or to downtown Davis and even campus.
What makes this property unique
A large villa with a sparkling pool overlooking the beautiful pond creates a scene like no other. The turret offers panoramic views of Davis and all the way to Sacramento. This is the tallest residential structure in the area.
