Welcome to Casa Tranquilla, built in 2020, your luxury getaway in Sonoma wine country! My sister, Rita, and I are happy to host you in our vacation home. Casa Tranquilla has a country vibe but is walking distance to restaurants, wineries, hiking, a gourmet market, and a French bakery. Unwind on the huge sunny wrap-around decks with breathtaking views. Relax in the 6-person hot tub under the stars. Enjoy all of the outdoor seating and the fire-pit. Three well-appointed bedrooms, two living rooms, and spa-like bathrooms await you and your family and friends.

Casa Tranquilla is a new, ultra modern home set among tall redwoods and firs, with a country feel but just a 5-minute walk from the village of Glen Ellen. The house features a large sunny wrap around deck for dining and relaxing. Enjoy the back deck with dining area, lots of seating, a fire pit, hot tub, and bocce ball court. Our home can comfortably accommodate a maximum of 5 adults and 2-3 kids.

Our upstairs open-plan dining room and living make for fun dinner parties and movie-watching. TVs are set up for streaming and we have fast WiFi. The sound system is bluetooth so your tunes are portable.

The master king-size bedroom is upstairs with an en suite bathroom, free standing soaking tub, and a ginormous walk in shower.

The lovely queen bedroom is on the first floor with views of the old redwood trees.

The third bedroom on the first floor has cute bunk beds and a twin bed. (Please note the bunk beds are not suitable for adults.)

Full bath downstairs with double vanity and walk in shower.

We have a home office desk area with a laser printer/copier/scanner. Work while gazing at the redwoods!

We have a pack-n-play and games for the kiddos.

There is ample outdoor parking. (Three cars, max, please. It's the law in these parts.)

NEW! Flying in from any of the following cities? Skip the drive (and the traffic!) and fly direct to the Santa Rosa Airport. It's only a 30 minute drive to Casa Tranquilla. Fly direct from: LA, Orange County, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Burbank, Las Vegas, Denver.

Please enjoy a complimentary breakfast pastry from our local French bakery, Les Pascals. Just mention that you're a guest of Virginia's at the register. One pastry per overnight guest per day. (Sorry, coffee and other beverages not included.)

We are happy to host you in our own home-away-from-home. Five overnight adult guests maximum. Please respect our home. We will not tolerate partying, so if that is what you are looking for, please book elsewhere. We like a party as much as the next person, but this isn't the place for that. It's Casa Tranquilla, Quiet House. Shhhh. Sonoma County has very strict quiet hours: 10 pm - 7 am. No use whatsoever of the outdoor areas is permitted between these hours.

Pet Fee
There is a non-refundable $100 extra cleaning fee for all pets and a $15 per night charge for each pet. Please do not bring a pet without telling us first.
This fee is not included in the VRBO total (so that you don't have to pay the extra %). Limit of 2 pets per stay.

Licensed with Sonoma County - vacation rental permit is posted on the premises.TOT Certificate # 3998N

Your hosts are Virginia and Rita.

Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am. You may not use the outdoor spaces between these hours. No amplified music at any time outside. Please keep our neighbors happy by keeping noise to a minimum, even outside the quiet hours. If our neighbors complain because of partying, the police may be called; you will be subject to a large fine and possible arrest. Sorry, but Sonoma County (and our neighbors!) are very strict about this policy.

We have a strict no smoking and no open flame rule anywhere on the property including the front yard, driveway, and decks. Sonoma is a very high fire danger area. No smoking, candles, open flames, or outdoor fires anywhere on the property other than the fire pit.

We have security cameras on the outside of the house. No camera faces inside nor near the hot tub for your privacy.

As you are probably aware, there is widespread reconstruction taking place in Sonoma and Napa counties after the last few years of highly destructive wild fires. As much as we will endeavor to make your stay as wonderful and memorable as possible, there is the possibility of construction taking place in the surrounding area.

Good time
The property was exactly how it was listed. Hosts provide a helpful packet of information about the area and things to do we took their suggestion of booking a private wine tour. We visited 3 different places and learned quite a bit about wine. The Benzinger winery is literally a 10 minute walk up the street. Would highly recommend staying here.

Totally perfect place to stay
We had 3 couples that connected for a weekend in this lovely home. Over those days, you’d often hear someone comment on how perfect the house was. It’s true! We had intentions of using the patio and hot tub but weather didn’t permit that this time. The kitchen and separate spaces are designed well. The host is very kind and directions for the home are clear. We didn’t need to go far for great wineries (joined Mayo) and food (Yeti=OMG yum) We highly recommend this spot for a get-away to relax and refresh. Thank you to our fabulous hosts for the welcome gift too, so above and beyond!

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Nido

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Virginia and I live in Oakland, CA and have a house in wine country. I have two daughters. I love to travel for business and pleasure and have recently been to Switzerland, France, Hungary, the UK, Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands, Japan, China, and Sweden. I also do home exchanges. I love hiking and doing yoga to keep fit. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world. When I rent my house I like to make sure everything is as perfect as possible for my guests.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Casa Tranquilla 2.0! The original Casa Tranquilla was built by Italian family in 1969. They loved the wooded, quiet area – hence the name “Quiet House.” We unfortunately lost our home in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. This newly built house is Casa Tranquilla 2.0. We love our new house and our neighborhood and are happy to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

We hope you'll enjoy this ultra modern home in the heart of Sonoma wine country! Relax on the sunny wrap around decks and unwind in our many outdoor seating areas. We have a bocce ball court, hot tub, fire-pit, corn-hole, BBQ, and outdoor dining table. Casa Tranquilla offers gorgeous views and true indoor/outdoor living. Chill in our rec room and enjoy a great night's sleep on the sumptuous mattresses. Feel like you're at a spa in the large bathrooms with walk in showers and a soaking tub.

We are walking distance to wineries, Jack London State Park, Sonoma Valley Regional Park, a gourmet market, restaurants, and a French bakery. We are a short drive from Sonoma Square with world-class dining and shopping!
