Palazzo Marzino is definitely not your typical vacation rental in Guerneville. It has only had two owners, including the original builder who designed it after his love of Italian architecture. Thank you for appreciating its uniqueness. We hope to have the opportunity to share the home with you again.
Hot tub was great. Did not use the pool. This home is fantastic. Views are incredible. Naomi the property manager is a joy to work with. We highly recommend this home if you are considering staying in the area

So very pleased to hear that Palazzo Marzino proved to be the showstopper that she is. We also appreciate the nod towards management. 3 Cheers all the way around. We hope to have you all back again in the warmer weather so that you can enjoy the pool. Thank you!
The home was beautiful and fun. We loved hanging out in the vaulted living room and enjoyed the hot tub. This was a wonderful place to stay but I do recommend having a car with you. It was a bit challenging to get rides into town. Overall would stay again!

Thank you for choosing Palazzo Marzino as your getaway destination when searching for some sunshine, the weather definitely participated in your favor! To my knowledge, you and your group were the first who relied on car service during your stay, apparently the wooded location can be a bit challenging in that aspect, I appreciate you sharing that for the sake of others information. It would be our pleasure to host you again.
Absolutely amazing house. Watch the sun rise from just about every part of the house, even the shower! The views from hot tub are fabulous. The house decor was really cool. Will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for taking your time to share a review of your January stay, and for including such wonderful photos! Early morning coffee on the deck of the kitchen is a must! We look forward to your return!
It was by far one of the best vacation we have had in a VRBO property. The house is magical - artfully decorated and maintained. We traveled with my aging parents and was initially concerned with the steps but I had nothing to worry. They were easy to climb up and down and the hot tub was a great addition. I highly recommend the property, amenities and the views from almost any windows

We appreciate you taking the time to post a review of your stay at Palazzo Marzino over the Thanksgiving holiday. We do our best to highlight the home's grace and style in our photos, however, we do agree that it is a tough job for sure. One must be there in person to truly appreciate the property.
The Palazzo is absolutely stunning, extremely comfortable and very relaxing. The host and property managers are gems. If you want a truly memorable stay-stay here!

Harold, spending nearly a week with us at Palazzo Marzino is quite the compliment. The home has a specialty all of its own, as you now know. We look forward to your return.
Thank you! We had a wonder stay. This home had all the amenities needed and more. This was a wine trip for our group and was conveniently located for all that we had planned. This property is truly amazing! The host kept in contact prior to our stay with all the information we needed.

Beautiful gem of house tuck away in the hills. It was very spacious, very clean. We loved all the artwork and design that went into the place - truly amazing.The garage was an added plus and kept our car clean during some storm time. We had such a great time on our Birthday/Anniversary trip, and we definitely recommend this house. Management was very responsive and accommodating.Highly recommended - Nothing but 5 stars!!Thanks again, Scott & Becky

Scott & Becky, thank you for the top of the line review of your recent stay with us at Palazzo Marzino. And a second thank you for leaving the home in such a well respected condition upon your departure, very much appreciated by all! Next time you feel like heading out to the Russian River, we would be most grateful if you considered returning.
Hi Megan, thank you so much for choosing Palazzo Marzino to call home during your recent trip to the Russian River! I'm so pleased to read that you had a wonderful visit while enjoying one of nature's most gorgeous views. Here's hoping you will return for another stay! Naomi Smioth on behalf of Palazzo Marzino
This gorgeous house was well stoked and more beautiful decorated than you’d expect for a vacation rental. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted to cook all our meals and we enjoyed the space and all the puzzles and games. The hill getting there is tricky and I’d be a little nervous o go here if you want to go out and experience a lot of the night life but for our purposes it was perfect.

Dear Julia, thank you so much for your compliments regarding your recent stay with us at Palazzo Marzino! We appreciate that you found the home inviting. You are correct, Summit Ave is on the steep side, however once you have made it, well worth the mile drive. Please consider staying with us again. We will be here!

Dear Stephanie, My name is Naomi Smith and I am fortunate enough to be the property manager for Palazzo Marzino. I am going to have to agree, this hidden paradise does have an unbeatable location. Till next time, thank you!
What a wonderful house. The floor plan is a little wild when you first see it, but it works perfectly. It was close to the river, the redwood park, and the beach. Just perfect! I would come again and stay in the beautiful house!

Roman, so very grateful to see that you and your family enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday time at Palazzo Marzino. It is a fantastic home that offers so much, especially the opportunity to hang out by a fireplace and watch the fog roll in and out on a Fall day along the Russian River. We hope you will consider a return stay, perhaps in summertime when the pool would be available for your use. Take good care. Naomi Smith ~ on behalf of Palazzo Marzino
Our party of 4 had a wonderful get-a-way - we loved being up in the trees with the birds! We practiced yoga on the patio, swam in the pool, gathered in the hot tub, ate in the kitchen, and on the veranda and in the dining room - it was all so inviting! We rented kayaks at Johnson's beach one day and hiked at Armstrong on the other. I have a personal goal of returning to this house!!!

What a wonderful description of time well spent at Palazzo Marzino! Amazing how you fit this all in while finding time to wash the birds drift by. We have a personal goal of hosting you again, very much looking forward to it!
It was FANTASTIC - the views are even better than the photos let off. All the beds were clean and the atmosphere was incredible. This is definitely a place I would like to stay again and for a longer time!-Only note for people staying is make sure your car can clear the dip if you want garage parking. We were in a super low car (Mustang) and it would not make it in garage, but the area feels extremely safe and we didn't worry 1 bit.

About the host
Hosted by Naomi Smith
After years of working in the short-term rental market, I took a leap of faith and began working for myself in 2021. I truly enjoy hosting visitors in the Russian River area, a place I have called home all my life. My goal is for every guest to leave with a smile and consider returning for a future stay.
Why they chose this property
Managing a home in Guerneville with such a stunning view of the Russian River provides a wonderful opportunity for reflection while visiting Palazzo Marzino. Once at the top of Summit Avenue, the unobstructed river views, the pool, and the hot tub make it difficult to ever want to leave.
Furthermore, the property owners are truly remarkable individuals. Their dedicated advocacy for animal rights is inspiring, and I am proud to call them my friends.
What makes this property unique
