Great Choice for this area!

Our host went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. This is a relaxing retreat away from the busy-ness of life! In addition to the location and amenities, the host provided freshly baked pastries, treats and a bottle of wine upon arrival. Will book again when we return to this area.

Great Weekend Getaway

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights. The property owners met us upon arrival and made sure we were acquainted with the property before our stay began. The available complimentary and convenience drinks/snacks were wonderful and and a very nice touch we haven't experienced with other vacation rentals. Quiet neighborhood and great view from the rear deck made relaxing easy!

A Perfect Villa in the Woods

In a word, both the "villa" and it's host were perfect. We were met at check in by the owner, Radim who helped us with our luggage and then showed us around the house which is a remodeled manufactured house with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, one of which has a shower. To our delight, our host had provided a bottle of white wine, fresh homemade bread and small cakes, an assortment of fruits and vegetables, eggs, including quail eggs...all complimentary. In addition, there were sodas, snacks, candy and other food items for purchase. For us, the highlight was the delicious European style bread he had made. But there was no honey or jelly to put on it. Not to worry, a quick text to our host and within minutes we had both! Talk about room service....this was the best. The beds were comfortable..one with white sheets and one with black sheets and both with a swan on top fashioned from towels. Very decorative. There was a gas fireplace to help warm the place as well as an a/c - heater combo in each room. We were most comfortable and cannot recommend this place and it's host highly enough! If you have reason to be in Sonora, CA, this is where you should stay!

Wonderful Place!

I stayed at this property with a friend for a weekend in September 2021 and it was wonderful! The owner was always responsive when I contacted him and he greeted me upon my arrival and helped me with my bags. He gave me tour of the house and showed me how to use everything which was very helpful. There were snacks and drinks and even some meals for purchase at very reasonable prices. They also left us fresh bread, fresh eggs from their chickens (who are very quiet, by the way), a chilled bottle of wine, and some treats. I could tell they took great pride in making sure their guests had everything they needed. They even brought us fresh produce from the local farmer's market one morning. They just set it outside the door and texted me to let me know it was there so as not to disturb us. They are always around if something is needed but they stay in the background to give you your privacy. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Radim!

Nice

The owners were so easy to deal with. They live below the rental so make themselves readily available if needed. Everyone worked great, was in order and tidy. Super friendly and kind. They offer snacks and drinks for purchase, as well. I. hadn't planned on taking advantage of that, but we did. Would definitely recommend.

Charming Space

It was easy to see that Radim and his partner put a lot of heart into giving the space a European hotel flare with it's added lux touches throughout. Still it was a comphy and enjoyable place for my mini retreat. Radim was a gracious and helpful host, being ready to help with my luggage and introducing me to the home's amenities. I was amazed by the pantry of snacks and drinks and even refrigerated and frozen items available, some complimentary, some for just a small cost! That was such a welcome treat! And the kitchen was well set up for home cooking. Oh and the kingsize bed was very comfortable! There are many steps down to the home from the road where you park, but there is a solid hand rail and motion lights that come on as you walk. There is deck to enjoy, but the view is not a strong point of this sweet house. Maybe in a different season the garden down below has more appeal. I enjoyed meeting Radim and my stay in his welcoming retreat.

Beautiful Private Gem in Sonora

Radim met me when I arrived to make sure I had everything I needed. This place is so clean, beautiful, comfortable and private! Who isn’t dehydrated and hungry after a full day of travel? I was thrilled to find the refrigerator completely stocked with all kinds of waters, teas and sodas. Completely full freezer with lots of foods to choose from including ice cream! Pantry completely stocked with snacks, chocolates, chips etc. All at ridiculously nominal fees. But the best part—- fresh eggs from his chickens! As well as a home made spice cake and little cupcake chocolates that were divine! I slept so peacefully— completely quiet, and the most comfortable bed and bedding I’ve ever slept on away from home. Truly. I never want to stay in a hotel again. This is where you want to stay. Thank you Radim, for making my stay absolutely wonderful! Andie T

The house is clean and has a very modern kitchen and bathroom. Refrigerator, freezer, and cabinets are well stocked with snacks and drinks are available for purchase. Owner was very kind and thoughtful-even provided dog treats for our dog and left candy on the beds for Valentine’s Day! Owner lives on site and greeted us when he arrived. He also provided excellent and timely communication with us.

Five star host and property

Seldom do you come across hosts that shower you with hospitality that outmatches the stay. We were greeted by numerous welcome notes, snacks and wine. Radim went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Left us fresh eggs at our doorstep every morning, they were delicious. The fridge and kitchen were fully stocked with eclectic snacks, beverages and frozen food entrees. The unit itself is very clean, in a quiet and secluded neighborhood. There is a grocery store nearby. The patio with a treehouse like ambiance was perfect for our outdoor meals. You could tell the owner goes out of his way to keep this gem of a villa as comfortable as possible. Thanks again R

If you want to feel like royalty... here’s the place!

Our trip was amazing from start to finish! The pictures didn’t do the property justice. There were amazing accommodations... plush, luxurious linens and accents were soft and cozy. The hosts were generous, kind and down to earth. The rental had plenty of snacks, some complimentary and some for purchase if you don’t feel like leaving to go shopping. The house has smart thermostats, 2 t.v.’s and an additional bed in case their are more guests. In the morning and night, we ate breakfast on the balcony (which also comes equipped with a patio heater), overlooking the mountains, pine trees and more importantly, the grounds of the property, which has a small farm including a wild turkey, chickens, bunnies and a turtle. I will never again stay at a hotel near Sonora. This is the place! If you wanna feel like royalty, treat yourself and come to Villa Sonora!
