General overview

Welcome to our family's dream home, which is best described as a baby Tuscan castle ("castellino/castelletto") in the middle of Sonoma County Wine Country in the Northern California/San Francisco North Bay Area! Features/Amenities of our No-Smoking, Beautiful one-of-a-kind Mediterranean style home with scenic views of Sonoma wine country hills: INDOOR: - 1 Master Bedroom with Double Fireplace and Master Bathroom with Jacuzzi Tub and Double-Shower - 3 Guest Bedrooms, 2.5 Additional Guest Bathrooms Upstairs and Downstairs (sleeps up to additional 6 guests, for 8 total) - Chef's Kitchen with Professional Grade Oven/Range - Espresso Machine (Nespresso style) to serve your daily coffee habit - High Speed WiFi throughout all areas of the home - 2 Different Home Theatre/TV Areas for Watching Movies and Relaxing (both have Internet TV connected) - Music Room with Electronic Drum Set, Electric, Acoustic, and Bass Guitars + Amps (Note: for careful/considerate use by practicing musicians only please, as this is expensive equipment/i.e. not toys) OUTDOOR: - Outdoor Hot tub / Jacuzzi - Outdoor Entertaining Patio + Kitchen complete with BBQ grill, pizza oven, sink, and fireplace + sitting areas (great for year-round outdoor dining as we even have heat lamps for the limited time in Winter where it is a bit colder at night) - Home Gym with Weight Rack, Bench, Free Weights, Pull up Bar, Yoga Mats and Balls, and Boxing Heavy Bag - As a bonus you'll get fresh lemons and grapefruits from our trees (during those seasons), and daily fresh eggs from our 7 chickens (chickens like getting daily food scrap treats, but this is optional... but it's always a good idea to befriend the very friendly chickens! =)). There are no roosters so don't worry about being woken up too early! Our home is the absolute perfect place to enjoy the true Sonoma/Napa Wine Country experience! Notes: -We are a family of frequent worldwide travelers (of our 5 children, we still have 1 pre-teen living and traveling with us) who love to do home exchanges with other families who are similar and wish to visit our area. We are fluent in English and French and partially fluent in Italian, but happy to house exchange with people from all countries/cultures around the world. -Pet Care: For reciprocal exchanges, we would need some pet care help while you're staying with us. We have 1 extremely family-friendly and sweet dog Salena, plus 4 chickens and 1 bunny that need some minimal care during your stay. Salena has an in/out pet door so don't require any walks (unless you really want to, in which case they will love you! =)) and only need to be fed once per day w/dry dog food. The chickens will typically have sufficient food and water in their bulk feeders for at least 5-7 days so unless you're doing a very extended stay here, you likely wouldn't need to do anything other than collect eggs once per day (to prevent them from stacking up in their henhouse... plus, you get fresh eggs each morning!).

Heather

A family of 3 world travelers looking for long term home exchanges. We work remotely and our 11 year old daughter schools remotely. We love our northern California wine country home and would love to share it with you. We have a beautiful and loving 6 yr old German Shepard puppy and a white bunny, and 4 chickens that produce yummy eggs. We love exploring new places and making temporary homes from places we love to visit. We are hoping to fine other couples or family's that are looking to live in Sonoma County for Weeks or months or a year at a time.
