About this villa rental
On a sunlit ridge high above the Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley.Alpicella Vineyard and Villa combines a romantic retreat that is country yet sophisticated. The private cottage is part of a 6,000 acre pristine wilderness. The cottage has views that overlook our award winning, organic estate vineyard. The soul of this property is revealed through its full time residents. Friendly miniature donkeys, emu, and llamas. This estate vineyard and villa is located in the hills between Napa and Sonoma valley.We are within minutes of Sonoma,Glen Ellen and Healdsburg ,which contain many world class wineries and fine restaurants. You will discover a welcome respite in this natural and unhurried environment.
The 'magic' of this property is in its artesian spring fed waters that flow into the pools and ponds surrounding the home. Your hosts Daniel and Betsy will be more than happy to provide you with their extensive local knowledge of the wine country .

We were lucky enough to spend an amazing and eventful weekend here (we got engaged!) before it was gone. The property was beyond beautiful; the sunsets were unmatched; the owners are delightful; the donkeys were hungry and not afraid to beg :).
Sadly, the day after we left, the property was consumed by the Glass fire :(. We had every intention of returning multiple times over, and we are gutted that it's gone. Hopefully, Dan and Betsy will be able to rebuild. They are truly fantastic hosts and have so much to share. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable weekend.

A beautiful property with wonderful hosts (they live on site in a separate house but all you see in the pictures is yours for your stay). If your Italy vacation was canceled due to covid, this is the next best thing. Great views, a relaxing pool, on site vineyard, and animals to befriend. If you stock up on groceries beforehand you won't need to leave but if you want to there are plenty of good restaurants, sights and wineries to visit (albiet requiring a windy road drive but Uber eats does deliver).
At the time of our stay the wifi connection was quite weak so if you plan to stream video or get work done check with the hosts to see if it has been upgraded (they had just improved the internet speeds and were considering upgrading the wifi next). Cell service is iffy too so plan ahead (had some service with AT&T but only on certain parts of the property).
Overall great place and we would definitely stay again. Thanks for a great time, Dan and Betsy!

As our first trip after lockdown, we wanted to make sure we took all precautions possible. That included staying in a quiet, remote area and foregoing a stay in a hotel. We left our comfort zone and decided to rent the house at Villa Apicella. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner, Dan, who lives on the 70 acre property himself. The house rental was spotless, and essentials all provided for us (including freshly picked vegetables from the garden!) The expansive property, built in an area rich with history and spirtuality, included our own private pool, hiking trails, friendly donkeys (perhaps our highlight!), and spectacular mountain views. Some days we found ourselves not leaving the property, still with endless things to do. Dan and his wife Betsy were the most gracious hosts- kind and thoughtful. We already miss conversations with them about their interesting lives. After a week's stay, we felt refreshed and calm, with our views on travel lodging changed forever. We can't wait to go back and visit Dan, Betsy, and the donkeys!

We loved our stay at Villa Alpicella - a truly magical weekend and much needed in COVID times. Daniel and Betsy are incredible hosts and we can't wait to come back and spend more time at this gorgeous property!
