Casa Luna Verano is a spacious 2 bedroom + den home in a quiet, country neighborhood just ten minutes away from the Sonoma Plaza. There is a beautiful pool surrounded by oak trees and lavender; a hot tub; outdoor dining area; a cabana with daybeds (during pool season), perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine or reading a book, once you've had enough sun for the day. Pool season is usually mid-May to early October. The hot tub is heated to 102-104 degrees year round.
The public spaces include a great room with large window walls that can be opened up for the ultimate in indoor-outdoor living. The back patio is perfect for al fresco dining with a view of golden grasses, hundred year old oak trees and views of the Mayacamas Mountains on the east and Sonoma Mountain to the west. The chef's kitchen includes a refrigerator, microwave, gas cooktop, double ovens, a warming drawer and dishwasher; full set of dishes, pots, pans, glasses and barware. You'll usually find basic pantry items as well (oil, seasonings, etc). If you use a pinch of salt, no need to replace it - but if you bake a cake, please replace what you use from the pantry! The formal dining table has comfortable seating for 12. The entire house, including kitchens and three bathrooms, is thoroughly modern as a result of an extensive remodel from 2019-2022.
The primary bedroom and the den each have a high end king size mattress (Tuft and Needle and Keetsa memory foam); the other bedroom a queen size Tuft and Needle. Note to European guests: these are US mattress sizes, King= 193cm x 203cm; Queen= 152cm x 203cm. All feature high thread count cotton sheets, feather pillows and blackout shades, to help ensure you have a quiet and dark bedroom as long as you want to sleep. There is a projection TV with 92" screen in the great room with local San Francisco stations and all streaming apps on Roku (bring your own login), one smart TV in the primary bedroom with most streaming apps (bring your own login). Bedroom 2 and the Den each have a 28" monitor with HDMI input.
Although very quiet and private, it's the perfect base for exploring Sonoma wine country, with the restaurants of Sonoma Plaza ten minutes away and well over hundred wineries in Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Kenwood, and Carneros within a 15-20 minute drive.
