10/10 Exceptional accommodations and grounds

The host remodeled this home, guest quarters & spacious garden area in Mediterranean style. Everything, from the decor to the amenities to the amazing back garden were exceptional -- the pictures on the listing illustrate what's available and the landscaping, water feature and cozy outdoor seating areas are sublime. The host, Dieter, is a designer, and it shows. Well equipped kitchen & amenities such as robes are included. Our communications were easy and Dieter accommodated my request to leave my car at the property before check-in time on the day I arrived. I was in Vancouver to visit someone but visitors to Portland should also consider this property. A photo book documents the transformation from a ho-hum property to a little Mediterranean oasis in the city. Thanks, Dieter, for providing such a special place for my stay.

Peaceful getaway

Dieter’s place is absolutely lovely— looks just like the photos! He has thought of everything to make the stay a cozy one—coffee, slippers, robes, to name a few. The design of the space is so beautifully curated and thoughtfully planned, you can tell a lot of care went into it. The garden is a gorgeous oasis right at your doorstep with a hot tub to enjoy it from. Communication with Dieter is thorough and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Dieter Lombard

With a background in high end boutique hotels, trained in Europe and having lived in different countries, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences with guests, also including home and landscape design.

Why they chose this property

The property is on the outskirt of the inner city on a quiet dead-end street. I was attracted to the home for its large backyard and Tuscan style home design. That inspired me to design both interior and landscape to give that Tuscan feel.

What makes this property unique

I have designed the house and landscape based on my history in travels. I lived in Greece for 3 years as a teenager and think I got bitten by the love for Mediterranean architecture and landscape. You will notice that I tried to incorporate those elements in the landscaping with olive trees, rosemary, lavender and all types of flora that resembles a Mediterranean garden.
