Located halfway between Oakville in Napa Valley and Glen Ellen in Sonoma County, this romantic Tuscan-style retreat is a one-of-a-kind historic estate. The property was featured on HGTV's House Hunters on Vacation!
Trinity Road takes you from the Sonoma Valley to the crest of the mountain and down the eastern slope to Napa Valley, and to Villa Nel Bosco.
Exterior Details Luxurious outdoor amenities, such as the great lawn, the bocce ball court, dining pergola, swimming pool with a sunken whirlpool spa, an outdoor shower and changing room, and fire pit, are enhanced by the backdrop of mature oak and pine trees that create a totally private environment.
Interior Details As you enter the home, a curving staircase descends from the second floor, creating a graceful entryway, which opens to the various main floor rooms. The wall above, along with many corners of the estate, is hung with original art commissioned for the home.
Each room has windows and doors that open to the grounds. Rich green wooden exterior shutters imported from Italy are practical and decorative. The interior walls are hand-done in Venetian plaster with a soft, sand tone and the floors have radiant heat, making the house comfortable in any season.
The kitchen is well equipped for gourmet preparation or a simple and delicious meal of local ingredients. The kitchen is open to the dining area and its hand-hewn table and leather chairs.
Beyond the dining room is a media room/den with a large flatscreen TV and media center. A guest half-bath with copper sink and custom vanity is located between the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom.
Carved, rolling wood doors off the entryway of the house lead you into the front guest bedroom. This bedroom shares the downstairs half bathroom with the other rooms on the first floor. The two twin beds face the window to the lawn and vineyards and a window seat overlooks the garden.
A separate living room offers tufted leather couches with a slat table between them on a thick carpet.
The primary bedroom has a king bed with a linen headboard. The vaulted ceiling gives a feeling of space and intimacy at the same time. There is a glass door that opens to a petit balcony overlooking the bocce court.
A second upstairs bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed. The third upstairs bedroom has a fresh country quality and contains a queen bed. These 2 guest bedrooms share a spacious bath with two ceramic sinks and a custom marble counter.
There is onsite parking available for 3 vehicles.

Our local staff can assist with pre-trip suggestions for winery visits, private chef dinners and any other special experiences you desire.

Beautiful location, very private, enjoyed the spa, firepit, bocce ball, kitchen was well stocked to cook, beds were comfortable, local deer visited us every day. It is a little bit of a drive but worth it. Can easily visit Napa or Sonoma.
Beautiful home, very comfortable beds, didn’t use the pool but looks very nice. Awesome location to go to both Sonoma and Napa. Everyone in our group commented that it was a beautiful place. Seen Deer on the property every day and could hear wild turkey very close.

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving at the home with all the perfect essentials and more in the house to cook with and to set a beautiful tablescape in and out. Loved the location in between Sonoma and Napa and up in the hills we had perfect weather
The house was amazing and we had a great time at the property. It was a great location to visit Napa Valley or Sonoma.

We loved the villa! Plenty of spaces to spread out and enjoy being in Napa! This was our adult family vacation with trips into neighboring towns for wineries and shopping . We spent each evening cooking in and enjoying the hot tub and the serenity of the area. A buck and 2 baby fawns along with their mother greeted us during our stay- beautiful grounds !

Amazing private home.
What an absolutely perfect place to stay in the Napa/Sonoma Valley! Perfect location right between both valleys. Such a relaxing place with everything you need. Quiet location with a fabulous backyard and pool. Some of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Just book it!
What an incredible property! We visited to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday and had a wonderful time. Using the hot tub under the night sky filled with stars was one of our highlights. We also enjoyed sitting in the front room playing card games by the roaring fire. Hearing the birds talking to each other in the morning was another treat. The house is so well built and decorated simply beautifully. I will definitely visit again. It is a little jaunt up the hill, but no big deal especially if you have a driver, which I would recommend if you are going out for a day or wine tasting. The solitude is magical!
Pls note we gave this a 5star and it is deserving. They have thought of everything. The drive up Trinity Rd is not for the faint of heart and we were there during the atmospheric river rain! Not a place to drive during bad weather, think washed out roads and mud slides. BUT the property during good weather I have heard “magical” and I believe it! Just not our luck this time :)

Hi Mary, thank you so much for staying with us and we do hope to host you again when we are not having an unusually heavy period of rain!
The house was nice but there was very little water pressure and the water in the shower in the master bath wouldn’t get hot or even warm. There was a tub but the hand held shower head in the tub didn’t work

Gorgeous property, Very remote
The property is stunning and the house is very beautiful. The pool area in the back is a lovely place to congregate, as is the fire pit out front. The bedrooms are comfortable, although the shower pressure is VERY poor (several in my group didn't even wash their hair the entire trip because of the low pressure). The main con is the remoteness--it's difficult to get Ubers/Lyft to the property so if you plan on relying on those for transportation I would look elsewhere. It takes a solid 20+ minutes to get to Yountville, and longer to get to Sonoma square. If you want to spend lots of time at the house relaxing, and less time going out and about, this would be a great option as the house is very beautiful. If you want to be coming and going from the house often, then I'd look closer to town.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Holly. We are glad that you enjoyed the beauty of Villa Nel Bosco. We had a plumber out to the home after your check-out to work on the water pressure issue, we appreciate you bringing that to our attention. We do hope to assist you with a future stay in Wine Country.
It was a magical week; we were 3 couples and it was more than spacious for 6 people. Even though 2 of the rooms upstairs had to share a room, there were no issues associated with that. Ellen Freschauf was extremely accessible when we had mechanical issues in the house. We would gladly come back again.
Spectacular home in a VERY Remote Location away from all the hustle and bustle. 30 mins from the Vineyards in St. Helena and Yountville. Great Pool and home has a Fabulous Kitchen. Loved it !!!
Six girlfriends stayed in the house - property is beautiful and house is unique. The property was centrally located with access to both Napa and Sonoma wine country. If you are prone to motion sickness the road to the house can be a challange.
This beautiful property delivered everything it promised – the house itself was impressive inside and out and made for a wonderful getaway in the hills between Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we were motivated to order new mattresses for our own beds at home as soon as we got back. We went swimming every day in the pool to take advantage of the mid-afternoon summer heat. We dined several times in Kenwood in restaurants with outdoor patios as well as on the property. The property managers were very responsive before, during, and after our stay—and after we discussed that we had left a child’s stuffed animal behind in one of the bedrooms, they went above and beyond in mailing it back to us with a sweet card. The road leading to the house is a winding one, but we navigated it every day without mishap.
Very Nice property with all of the amenities that we needed - travel to and from was a little more than expected with the winding (ascending / descending) roads, but were happy to spend time at the Villa while we were there.
The property was gorgeous, exceeded expectations. Turning the corner of the driveway and seeing the house for the first time is a spectacular moment. You could easily come here and happily spend your entire vacation just at the house. Communication before and during our visit was very prompt, helpful, and informative.
I know a few other reviews mentioned the road up the mountain to the property-- in my opinion, it's really not that bad if you have some experience driving through mountains (think northern AZ, Colorado). The roads are winding, and there are some sharp turns, but it's definitely do-able if you consider yourself a reasonably good driver. If you have concerns, just take it slow, and avoid driving in the dark. The host can connect you with a car service as well.
Overall, would highly recommend, and would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property!
