Glen Ellen, California
Set among the legendary hills of Glen Ellen that adventurer Jack London made famous in his novels, our Tuscan home shares the same pristine views that drew London to settle here. Just minutes outside of the charming village, this sumptuous 11-acre estate enjoys complete privacy and is designed to fully embrace the wine country lifestyle.
Take the two-lane road from the village of Glen Ellen then up the private drive to Villa Bacchus and find yourself in a sunny, secluded retreat designed with every element you need to relax, play and celebrate with friends and family. Architect and nationally known artist, Dennis Ziemienski, created a stunning contemporary expression of wine country living that is in harmony with the land and its history.
The driveway circles around a tall fountain, and the main house, the guest house and the garage all border on the drive. The buildings design was inspired by Andrea Palladio, a Renaissance master, and one of the most influential architects in the Western world. His concepts have been translated into a sophisticated estate that surrounds you with luxurious details that satisfy all your desires for relaxation and recreation in an elegant, yet comfortable manner.
The main house shares the architectural design of the cottage and special design details abound. The ground floor has a full kitchen with birdseye maple cabinets, a Wolf range and oven, stainless appliances, a dishwasher and concrete counters with an adjoining dining area.
A faux painted arch opens to the large living room and its soft burnt umber walls, travertine floors and Venetian Murano lights that hang from a vaulted ceiling. Spend some quiet time in front of the fireplace as you enjoy the comfortable seating arrangement. Double doors lead out to a café table and chairs that face the central fountain.
The bathroom is on the main floor and features a tiled, glass-front shower, and a freestanding vanity with an ultra-modern sink on a “floating” concrete counter.
Tile floors in the entryway and the stairs are coated with a copper patina for a subtle metallic sheen. A bedroom suite occupies the entire second story with its views of the hillsides and glass doors that open to a “Juliet” balcony, which overlooks the central fountain. A king bed, desk and seating area make this a tranquil place to unwind.
The estate's owners reside on the property and are available to assist you in planning your visit, but are far enough away to provide you with complete privacy.
The cottage complies will all county vacation rental ordinances (Vacation Rental License No: LIC24-0080).

A must stay!! This was a perfect home for us to stay at during our anniversary. The cottage was clean, fully stocked and the the hosts were very hospitable. We highly recommend staying at this cottage. Our only regret… we should have stayed longer.
This is simply wonderful hideaway right in the heart of wine country - we spent a lovely, relaxing week here enjoying the wine and the wildlife. The owners, Joshua and Tim are super helpful and can recommend local restaurants and wineries. Just excellent all round.
Joshua and Tim are superb hosts with a beautiful house in the heart of Sonoma wine country. Easy access and convenient to area attractions. Beautifully decorated and equipped to ensure a most enjoyable stay.
A very romantic and peaceful setting. After one night it felt like our own home away from home. Hosts fine gentlemen. The local Deers paid a visit every morning outside our window. Stars at night. Glen Ellen a mile down the road. Thumbs up to Glen Ellen Star restaurant. easy access to the Oakville Grade and wine country. Look forward to a return visit.

One word, fabulous!! The villa is splendid and the hosts are equally as splendid! Wonderful location. Five plus stars!! I will be going back
Stunning quarters that exceeded expectations. We were lucky to find this place after a last minute cancellation by another owner. Thanks so much!
This rental was perfection. Joshua and Tim clearly take so much pride in their property, it was exactly the backdrop we needed for a wine country getaway. The rental itself is even better in person than the pictures portray. In addition, Joshua was so helpful offering up advice on wineries and restaurants whenever my wife or I solicited his help. Such an excellent host! If you're going on vacation in the Sonoma area and looking at this place, just stop searching and book it. You will not regret it at all.
Beautiful home that is creatively and artistically decorated, with a very warm Welcome by the hosts and flexibility. Highly recommended for couples
We loved this property! Secluded and beautiful. Joshua and Tim were so accommodating. This was the perfect location for our friends wedding festivities around wine country. Would definitely stay again!
The property grounds were absolutely gorgeous. With deer guests everyday eating the olive trees. We had everything we needed. The house was very clean and nice. Glen Ellen is such a cute town with wineries and restaurants right down the road. We will be returning. Cheers!
Another wonderful stay in less than a year at this beautiful property. Quiet and secluded yet close to all things Sonoma has to offer. The cottage is a perfect getaway for couples and the hosts are genuine and truly committed to the quality of your stay. We love everything about this gem and will be returning for many years. Thanks again Joshua & Tim for being so gracious!!! John & Samantha
You will want to tell your family and friends- we’ll worth the trip and just far enough away to feel like you’re in a distant land!
We have traveled to a lot of places in U.S. and abroad. This is flat out one of the nicest places we have ever been. It is like an old Italian villa with modern electronics. There is a long winding road to access the house which makes it a bit difficult to find the first time, but becomes quite easy with repetition. It makes a perfect getaway. The only unusual aspect was the bathroom was on the first floor, but overall we loved it. Wine and cheese greeted us when we arrived and coffee beans were there for the grinder. What could be better?
Location, host, everything was perfect ❤️
We had a perfect experience. Great location, very clean and beautiful place. Very quiet. Owners were always helpful and available.
