A touch of Italy awaits you at Casa Luna, in a quiet cul-de-sac mere minutes from downtown Sonoma. With 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths, expansive back yard under huge sycamore trees and private bocce ball court, this house just might become your favorite wine country retreat.

The location of Casa Luna is ideal for wine country vacations and experiences for all the members of your family or group. Moments from the famous Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn golf course (site of the Charles Schwab Tournament in October) and it’s world-class spa, you are in the heart of the best Sonoma Valley has to offer. A five minute drive (or a little longer bike ride) brings you “downtown” to the Sonoma Plaza – a few more minutes in the other direction brings you to Glen Ellen.

Casa Luna has been lovingly and tastefully remodeled and decorated with an Italian country flair. Hardwood floors through the living and dining areas are accented with comfortable, generous leather furnishings. Expansive windows facing the gigantic, old palm tree in the front and the extra large backyard bring light into the house, while a fireplace in the living room adds a cozy feel for those cooler evenings and mornings. French doors open from the living/dining area onto a covered patio with lounge chairs and propane grill. The formal dining area in the house, which seats 8, looks into the backyard.

The kitchen is the focal point of this home, with ample room for everyone to gather while concocting fabulous meals with the goodies you have gathered from foraging at the local Farmer’s and gourmet markets and specialty stores. Butter yellow wood cabinets, tile countertops, a dining counter and charming “breakfast” table & chairs, double fridge, gas stove & oven, microwave and dishwasher, offers everything you need. Walk out the french doors to the large deck for al fresco dining under the trees. The attached utility room is convenient for your laundry needs as well.

In the backyard, under the grandiose sycamore trees, is a large lawn area – ideal for croquet, a mini soccer game, or just sunning yourself.

The hammock and swing under an arbor of grapevines both encourage daydreaming or a little nap. The newly installed bocce ball court (rules are included) add to your outdoor enjoyment at Casa Luna.

The master bedroom features a queen sized bed, large walk-in closet, private deck and attached bath with shower. In the hall bedrooms, one has a queen sized bed while the other has a king bed which can be converted into two twin beds for added flexibility. The last bedroom can act as a den by day and bedroom at night with a brand new (very comfortable) queen sized sofa bed and attached ½ bath. At the end of the hall is a generous bathroom with shower & tub, done in beautiful gray tile flecked with gold.

This home can comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests and is family and pet friendly, by prior arrangement.
