Known for its vineyards, local cuisine, and nature parks, Sonoma County (45 minutes from San Francisco) offers a wide array of activities for those looking to retreat from city life. Touring local wineries, dining at farm-to-table restaurants, and visiting world-class spas are just a few ways to experience this pristine destination. While unwinding is certainly the attitude in Sonoma, activities such as horseback riding and hot-air balloon rides attract those looking for an adventure.

Pros – house if really quite beautiful, nice layout, super comfy beds/bedding (we rated them A++!), good size kitchen, overall clean and good location. Cons – request for heated pool failed; local team sent handyman (thanks David!) to repair 48-hours after we arrived (after multiple text messages to local team and upon my request). I did receive a full refund for the fee but super disappointing since we planned on using each day. No mirrors in some of the bathrooms (very strange), empty/watered down handsoap and shower soap, cheap coffee maker (not even an auto shut-off), not enough coffee mugs for group of nine, mix & match dishware, no ice-maker or ice trays, no AC (that is noted in the description but it was 85 degrees in the house when we arrived!), some windows have no screens (so couldn’t open all windows), cobwebs in some rooms, not all outdoor lighting worked (safety issue with steps), no lights by grill (used iphone to cook), freezer did not work well, smoke alarm chirped (handyman fixed), beeping from utility room near garage, yard overgrown, house needs power washing, faded pool chair cushions, insufficient furniture on huge deck. Overall, if someone would invest a couple of thousand dollars on some of these items, the house would be a 10. House seems neglected. Would also be useful to have a guest binder with various instructions, recommendations, etc. I've stayed at several VRBO locations and overall, this one was very disappointing (at a cost of $10k+).
Great facility and great views with quick and easy responses
One thing that is not obvious is that there are stairs inside and out. Not just a staircase but 4 steps to downstairs bedroom which is not shown in any pictures. The pool is lovely, the amenities are nice. There were a few issues, shade was missing in bedroom, dishwasher doesn't work really well. Issues were addressed adequately, staff was friendly. A downstairs floorplan should be on the web site plus pictures showing the inside stairs. Plus railing does not go all the way down on the pool side outdoor stairs and is broken.
Loved the property and the amenities offered by Avant. We really enjoyed our stay.
This is a beautiful property that is perfect for groups. Only downside is that there is no air conditioning. It’s not entirely necessary with the cool evenings in the area, but the days can be quite hot.
Overall the house is setup for a great vacation stay, especially the outdoor setup and the pool. It appears we may have been one of the first to rent the house, it felt as if it was rented before it was fully furnished and ready. Two of the bathrooms fully lacked mirrors (you just looked at tile), the rooms were quite sparse, and most of the walls were empty. With just a little more work, this place would be a 5-star stay and an amazing destination.
This property is perfect for a family gathering. The privacy and views made it so easy for us to connect. Tons of space and super helpful support and communication helped to make things more enjoyable. Biggest downside was we had little ones and the house is more adult friendly (stairs). Pool and outdoor space created so many memories. What a trip!
20 starssss!!! It was all a dream... This is the MOST gorgeous property I have stayed at! It exceeded our expectations and we did not want to leave! The pool is absolutely spectacular and the view is breathtaking! The view. The view from anywhere on this property is amazing! The house is enormous and fully equipped and absolutely beautiful, modern, clean, and so spacious! The rooms are beautiful! The beds are soooo comfortable! The beds are sooo comfortable. I have not slept in, in 16 years! Avantstay was awesome! They are very fast and attentive! I would be lucky to bring my family and friends back to stay at Malvasia again! Thank you for opening up this home, er, mansion dream...
