About Christopher Prete
I've lived in Sonoma for nearly 20 years, was a long time resident in San Francisco. Before that, I grew up in Queens and Long Island, NY and also spent a few years in upstate NY. I moved to California on a motorcycle when I was 24 years old.
Christopher Prete purchased this house in 2005
Why Christopher Prete chose Sonoma
I'm only the third owner of this home. It was built by the Sebastiani wine family as factory housing in 1920. The second owner, another local Italian American offered to sell it to me when he had to divest some of his property.
What makes this house unique
There is no better Sonoma Plaza location as far as I'm concerned. Park your car and walk for a morning cappuccino, for exercise on the Overlook and Montini hiking trails one block away, or out for evening dinner. You'll be completely relaxed.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you for your two stays this year. I've enjoyed having you both as guests and neighbors as much as I know that you've enjoyed your time in Sonoma.

Best location!
We had a lovely stay at Villetta Sonoma. It is just steps from the Plaza, with restaurants and cafes, shops and wine tasting, galleries and the movie theater just down the street. The nearby bike path was convenient for longer walks to the outskirts of town. Sonoma is a very charming town with so much to see and do, and often hosts special events. The cottage was very well maintained and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Can't wait to return!
GREAT - EXCEPT FOR THAT WILDFIRE THING
Greatly enjoyed the first 3 weeks of my stay at Chris's lovely cottage. Chris was very dedicated to making the time spent in his place as enjoyable as it was. He even provided an outdoor gas grill after I mentioned it would be nice to have one as I enjoy grilling out. Location is perfect, right off the Plaza and close to all the activities around the center. Also easy access to some of the best wineries in Sonoma, Glen Ellen and Napa. However, the last week was very difficult as the wildfires began the Monday of the last week of my stay. Chris again was very helpful and understanding as I moved in and out and finally left during that week. Thankfully the danger is past now and I hope Sonoma returns to normal as soon as possible.
Clean,neat,very close to the square. Easy walking.
Chris has a lovely home, furnished with everything you need. Can't wait to stay there again!

Fantastic Sonoma location, excellent renovated historic bungalow with private yard.
We thoroughly enjoyed our (second) stay at Christopher's house. It is the best location in town, only a few houses from all the Plaza has to offer, yet quiet and private. The Plaza has many fine shops, restaurants and wine tasting to keep you busy in town, yet you are only minutes away from some of the best wineries in Sonoma and Napa. There are great hiking and biking trails in Sonoma which start nearby.
The house was newly renovated and has all the conveniences you will need. We enjoyed sitting on the porch or patio with a fire pit in the evening sipping wine and relaxing. There is onsite parking for guest which is really appreciated attending the many events in town. We were there for the fantastic Music Festival which which was held only a short walk down the street.
Christopher is an excellent host and was quick to respond to every inquiry or request.
We would highly recommend this place and know you will enjoy it as much as we did.
Beautiful cottage in Sonoma--ideal place to stay
My girlfriend and I spent a summer at Chris's cottage. It was perfect for our needs: clean, well-appointed, and conveniently located. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable stay, and Chris couldn't have been more attentive. Great experience, would happy return or recommend it to anyone.
