Villa Tranquila ~ Historic Mediterranean Home, Mountain Views, Spa!
Villa Tranquila is a home of historical beauty. With stained glass windows, original interior artwork, high ceilings and spacious interior, this beloved home is a rare beauty amongst the cabins of the Russian River. Behind the gate is over a 1/2 acre of tree-lined landscaped grounds with multiple seating areas, including an in-deck jetted hot tub, and a dining patio with outdoor table, a barbecue and chaise lounge chairs. The front circular driveway winds between a lovely garden, lawn and the front entrance. Stay in and cook in the gourmet kitchen, or walk down hill .5 mile to town.
With 5 bedrooms and sleeping space for 12, Villa Tranquila is a favorite for larger families and groups. It isn’t just the bedroom count that makes this home an excellent gathering space – the living room, dining room, kitchen and outdoor areas provide large, comfortable gathering areas. The living room features a river rock fireplace (decorative only) and a large flat screen TV. Numerous windows and doors look out to the backyard; gracious archways lead to a hallway on one side and the dining room on the other. The mahogany dining set seats 12 guests. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, complete with stainless appliances that include a six burner professional gas stove, a griddle and two ovens.
Downstairs Bedrooms and Bathrooms: Through the breakfast nook and past the quaint side entrance is the master suite, a half bath, the laundry room, and the other downstairs bedroom. The primary suite is spacious with a decorative fireplace, King bed, a Double futon, an entertainment system with a flat screen television and French doors leading to the back hot tub deck. Off the primary bedroom is the master bath, with double vanity and a dual-head walk-in shower. The primary bathroom features a door leading to the hallway, so it can be easily shared with the occupants of the second downstairs bedroom, with king bed.
Upstairs Bedrooms and Bathroom: Stairs from the front hall lead to the Upper Level that offers 3 more bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. The room at the end of the hall features a King bed and a flat screen TV. The second upstairs room offers a King bed and the third bedroom has 2 Twin beds (can be converted to a king bed). All 3 bedrooms are filled with natural light and provide gorgeous views from the windows. The full bathroom has a separate shower and bathtub.
Over 1/2 Acre of Gated, landscaped grounds surround Villa Tranquila. The front circular driveway winds between a lovely garden, lawn and the front entrance. The backyard is a tree-lined hideaway, with views of forested hills in the distance. The backyard consists of a large, in-deck 6 person spa, dining patio with a state-of-the-art barbecue and smoker, chaise lounge chairs, decks, large lawn and woodsy lower area. Villa Tranquila is located at the top of a hill in a quiet, scenic neighborhood. It's only a ten minute walk down to Guerneville's shopping, dining, nightlife and the Russian River.

We enjoyed the large, roomy premises for our meals in the dining room and family get togethers in the living room. The variety in size of the bedrooms and beds was perfect for our needs.
we created somw great family memories at the house. enough rooms and bedding and a well-appointed kitchen. wish it was a bit more appointed for younger kids, and going down to the river.
Family wedding. We also rented the house next door. Kids and adults totaled 20. The rentals and location were perfect. It was a great experience.
Incidentally 1 kitchen cabinet door had a loose hinge.
The name itself effectively describes this house, which is beautiful and specious, with a huge kitchen, separate dining room and serene multi-level outdoor entertaining space. It is a diamond in this small town, with a short driving proximity to downtown, Redwood state park, wineries, and Russian river beach.
Clean, comfortable, lots of towels, comfy beds, decently appointed kitchen. Our only constructive feedback is regarding the hot tub. We really wanted to use it but the chemicals were not right, the water was green and after the first day the water was no longer heating.

Villa Tranquilla
While we enjoyed out stay, the house was not as nice as the photos. The bedrooms were fine (we wanted 5 BRs), but the house is a bit more 'tired' than it appears and the layout is bizarre. The hot tub (which was a draw) was not inviting; the water had an eery green tint and the smell of chemicals was overwhelming. The BBQ worked fine, but the oven was very slow to heat up and never reached over 400F - despite setting at 475. The neighborhood is quiet, but there is basically a junkyard across the street.
Overall, 3 out of 5 stars.
Great time, cute house, some maintenance could make it even better
The property was very cute and well appointed. There was no needs unmet. Beautiful scenery. The layout of the house left a little to desire ... bathrooms were a bit of a challenge. It's time for a little maintenance too on screens, outdoor furniture, etc. While it's close to town ... don't be fooled ... it's hike. Overall, a fabulous stay.

Cousins Reunion
A beautiful, well-equipped property. We found it so delightful that we cancelled plans to venture out and spent our time sharing memories made over 60 years ago and cooking in the lovely kitchen. Enjoyed by all.

Wonderful stay April 2019
My group of 11 friends just finished an 8 day stay in villa tranquila and I cannot stress how perfect the home was for our group of 4 couples and 3 individuals. We had to call the emergency line for the management company on two occasions for assistance with the outdoor grill and a malfunctioning house alarm. Assistance was quick and effective and much appreciated. Thanks for facilitating our stay at this wonderful home!

Beautiful House and Spacious Grounds!
We stayed with our daughters and their families for a long weekend. We had our own spaces and plenty of room. The kitchen was well-equipped and had plenty of workspace. We spent much of our time outdoors in the many delightful spots around the yard -picnic tables, hot tub, rocking chairs, porch swing, fire ring... We loved it and would definitely stay here again!

Hilltop mountain home
Our extended family of 10 truly enjoyed our escape to the Russian River. This lovely hilltop home was well appointed for our group. We especially enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, and viewing the gorgeous night sky from the hot tub and back yard fire pit. Great location to stroll into town for morning coffee, browsing the stores or to walk over the Guerenville bridge. Rooms were clean and comfortable except the upstairs king bedroom which had a very saggy mattress that needs to be replaced. We look forward to returning to this house for a future stay!

Spacious house
The house very comfortable. We were 7 adults, a preschooler and an infant and the bedrooms were perfect for us. The kitchen is well-equipped and large enough for multiple cooks. We would definitely consider returning another time.

Great house for large parties
Great house. More than enough room for our party of 12. The backyard was great, especially with the hot tub and grill outside. The house is clean and well stocked with spices, pots, and pans.
Our party went floating on the river and easily walked the ~0.5 miles back to the house from Johnson's beach. We would definitely come back!

Russian River Jazz/Blues Festival
We had 10 people attending the Russian River Jazz/Blues Festival and needed a comfortable house to accommodate everyone for 4 days. The house was perfect and had enough room for everyone. The backyard was wonderful. We would definitely recommend this house and we will be booking again.
