Stockbridge, Massachusetts
At the end of a tree-lined driveway, this huge private eleven bedroom villa sits by the edge of a field with garden and blackberry patch surrounded by 25 acres of woods. Walking paths reveal rocky knolls and paths circling through pine and maple trees. The private estate has ample space for a retreat, a workshop, a grand party or just family togetherness in a beautiful place, far from the madding crowd but close to highways, shopping, spas and everything you might need.
Villa Favorita is ideal for a large extended family, with 6 bedrooms that can comfortably sleep couples with multiple children, and 5 bedrooms comfortable for couples or individuals.
Five large rooms on the first floor are homey and rich in historic detail. The dining room with large French doors is joined to the modern kitchen through the butler’s pantry. The utility room has a new washer and dryer and a half bath. The living room with built-in bookshelves opens into a spacious front hall with a grand piano and a harpsichord. The first floor also has a comfortable wheelchair-accessible bedroom with handicap shower.
The second floor has five enormous bedrooms overlooking fields and forests; three of these are master bedrooms with en suite baths, and the dimensions of all but one are over 220 square feet.
The third floor, originally servants' quarters, has one shared bath and five more bedrooms, two approaching the size of the master bedrooms, and one that can double as a quiet study with desk and flat-panel monitor.
This home is comfortable, extremely well-equipped and in a beautiful location. It's handy to both Stockbridge and Lenox. Communication with the host was excellent. Wish we could have stayed longer!
This is a home that loves to be filled with family. There is ample space for hanging out, recreation, and conversation. The kitchen is welcoming and well stocked for cooking for many or just a few. There are spacious bedrooms and many with their own or a shared bathroom which makes accomodations comfortable. There are also sleeping spaces on the ground floor for those who may have difficulty with stairs. With a well stocked library, a small pool, a most excellent ping pong table and many musical instruments, it is a home where any groups can enjoy time together, and still have beautiful spaces for solitude and quiet contemplation. The grounds are lovely and worthy of exploration. Not modern, the house has the gracious air of a home that was built well, and meant to give space to create happy memories for ages. Grateful for our stay and to the hosts for sharing this home with us and others.
We were 19 people - five families having a reunion. The property was really perfect for such a large group. Plenty of well furnished bedrooms. Multiple large tables for communal meals. We cooked all our meals at the house and the kitchen was well stocked. The house is in a beautiful secluded location.
My friends and I were looking for big, cozy, family friendly home to catch up and Villa Favorita delivered! The house was exactly as advertised, clean and cozy, with a fully supplied kitchen that allowed us to make some great family dinners. The hosts are wonderful, very friendly people who communicate well and made getting in and out of the house very easy. 10/10 would go back again!
The house is a great old gal! Spacious and lovely. Our family is quite large and we all felt like there was enough privacy and rooms where we could comfortably congregate. The hosts were super responsive and I highly recommend staying here!
We gathered four generations under one roof and everyone was happy! This well loved and cared for property enchanted all of us. We spent hours playing indoors and out. There are ample activities in the region for everyone, but we just enjoyed our time together. We hope to return in the future.
16 of us had an incredible long weekend at Villa Favorita. Dan and his family were responsive, generous and friendly hosts, and we felt at home the moment we stepped inside. The house itself is a marvel of history and ambiance, and the grounds are picturesque and extensive. We never felt compelled to even leave the premises, everything we came to New England for was right there at our fingertips.
