BeautifulPlaces Avis 2

I booked Wine Country Round House for my father-in-law's 70th birthday and couldn't have nicer things to say about the property and customer service. The views from the backyard were incredible as the Round House is at the peak of Glen Ellen. There were 10 of us in the group and we felt there was plenty of space given the two structures on the property and the expansive grounds.

The team at Beautiful Places was quick to answer any questions and helped coordinate many of our activities during the stay.

I would recommend Beautiful Places and Wine Country Round House to anyone looking for a hassle free luxury group travel experience!

We pulled up in the drive way of Casa Sebastiani and we were speechless. Renting a house for a large group of girls in Sonoma was not an easy feat - expectations were high as this was majority of the groups first time. You hear countless stories of how breathtaking the views are, how gorgeous the wineries are and how amazing the food and wine is - we wanted to experience it all! And Casa Sebastiani delivered - as did Beautiful Places!!

It took some time to find a place on all the available sites - after securing a house, everyone booked their flights and we were set! About 2 months later, we found out our place had been sold and we lost the rental - that's when Beautiful Places stepped in and made the trip happen - they saved our vacation. I was so concerned we wouldn't be able to find a house that could suit 14 people that was in the right location, over the same weekend, and with only 2 months out, but Suzanne from BP provided such great customer service we had a placed locked down within the week. Her consistent follow-up and communication put everyone at ease - especially me, the coordinator.

The place was only 5 blocks from Sonoma Square and the back yard was a vineyard - Sebastiani Wineries to be exact. When people asked us were we were staying - we had no idea how incredible it truly was. Everyone would say " You're staying there?! How did you get that?!" - the place was astonishing. It carries the traditions of a family's history with all the modern touches. The amenities were amazing and we didn't even take advantage of all them - they offer in-house massages, groceries in the house upon arrival, and you can have a chef come to the house to cook dinner. There was plenty of room for all the girls to get ready to walk to dinner - we didn't need cabs or buses (although they were easy to get a hold of and we did rent a bus for a day of vineyard tours) and everyone had the opportunity to come and go as you please.

The cancellation from our previous rental property was actually the best thing that happened to our trip. We are still talking about the vacation on a regular basis - we thought our expectations were high, but this place blew us out of the water. Upon arrival there was a card and a bottle of wine - it was a nice gesture that made us feel special. There was so much room to sit outside or inside - one of our favorite parts was the large dinner table that overlooked the vineyards. There truly isn't a single thing we would have changed about this trip - and with a group this size, I would say that can be hard to do. We can't thank Beautiful Places enough for making this trip everything we could imagine and more - it is a place we will always recommend and hopefully return to one day. I would absolutely recommend this company to friends and family and hope to use them again in the future.

If you are going to Sonoma - Beautiful Places in the way to go! Their personalized customer service made planning a trip to a new city with a large group effortless. The location of this property doesn't get any better - we walked to Sonoma Square every single day, enjoyed the pool, cooked and ate dinner outside, went for runs around the area, played pool downstairs in the game room, drank coffee on the balconies, and walked to the Sebastiani Winery on our last day - it was definitely hard to leave. Can't wait to go back!!
