Italian Design ~ River Views ~ Pool + Hot Tub + 5 Fireplaces ~Tesla Charger

Palazzo Marzino ~ Vacation Rental License #LIC23-0197
An Italian Inspired Architecture ~ 3 bed ~ 3 Bath ~ Swimming Pool ~ Hot Tub ~
Once you have driven up Summit Avenue (the last part of the drive up to Palazzo Marzino is very steep) you will agree, This is totally it! From the undeniably awesome views of the Russian River valley to the lifetime's adventures worth of globally sourced art, this modern-day castle in wine country is epic. Once inside the iron gate, decorated with a set of cat & dog friends (the property owners are more than passionate about saving animals) Palazzo’s entry is down a set of garden stairs. The entry stairs lead you to a huge wooden front door. The key to the front door is housed in a lock box to the right of the doorway (code to emailed separately). If you have arrived via a Tesla, there is a charger inside the garage.

The home is approximately 2400sf in size, made up of two levels. The central living area opens on one side to the kitchen with its own deck. On the other side, there's a dining area and full bath. Down the interior carpeted stairs, on the lower level, is s a sitting room, which opens to the rear patio & outdoor dining area. Following this same route also leads to the solar-heated pool, located under the forest of redwood trees, which is solar heated for swimming from May - October (not solar heated November - April). Our pool is open for use all year round! Use caution as there is a steep drop-off at edge of pool terrace. The lower level of the villa holds the primary suite with king size bed and ensuite full bath, a private bedroom with queen size bed, and the most favored bedroom in the house with a queen size bed and Unbelievable views of the Russian River and its surroundings. The deck holding the hot tub with forest views and a full hall bath are also located on the lower level.

Main appointments:

This gorgeous house was well stoked and more beautiful decorated than you’d expect for a vacation rental. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted to cook all our meals and we enjoyed the space and all the puzzles and games. The hill getting there is tricky and I’d be a little nervous o go here if you want to go out and experience a lot of the night life but for our purposes it was perfect.

There were several areas that could be improved. 1. Appliances in the kitchen were not very clean. The blender needed to be scrubbed clean before using. The same with the juicer that was in the pantry also parts were missing. Most of the items we used that need cleaning were in the pantry. The stove, oven microwave were fine.2. It would be nice to have a dresser in the guest bedrooms particularly the bedroom facing the Russian River. It hard to live out of a suit case for a week.3. The step ladder provided was not ideal for getting in and out of bed. A child step or two would be better4. The bathroom for the guest bedrooms is unique. The counter space was great but the tub/shower could use a little work as there was paint peeling along the base boards and the glass was not the cleanest. We used the upstairs shower for the extent of the stay. The sink in that room drains slowly.5. There were several areas where maintenance was needed. a. The kitchen door leading to the small patio did not function properly b. The screen in the guest bedroom facing the Russian River is bent and does not close properly c. The big brown chairs in the room just off the kitchen has ripped areas behind the back cushions. 6. We did not use the hot tub or swimming pool 7. The architecture, interior design and views are spectacular. We enjoyed the kitchen area and great room. In addition, it is close to many places.

The property was very clean and well maintained. A very well stocked kitchen with some spices and other cooking necessities, which was great. The best part of the property are of course the views, pool and hot tub. It’s magical- we never felt the need to leave the house. Air conditioning in the upper floor was great since the house gets hot in the day. The downstairs stayed really pleasant. We would definitely come again!

Our party of 4 had a wonderful get-a-way - we loved being up in the trees with the birds! We practiced yoga on the patio, swam in the pool, gathered in the hot tub, ate in the kitchen, and on the veranda and in the dining room - it was all so inviting! We rented kayaks at Johnson's beach one day and hiked at Armstrong on the other. I have a personal goal of returning to this house!!!

It was FANTASTIC - the views are even better than the photos let off. All the beds were clean and the atmosphere was incredible. This is definitely a place I would like to stay again and for a longer time!-Only note for people staying is make sure your car can clear the dip if you want garage parking. We were in a super low car (Mustang) and it would not make it in garage, but the area feels extremely safe and we didn't worry 1 bit.

Beautiful stay in a perfect location

We had a group of three couples in our late 30's who needed a place to relax and use as a homebase while exploring the region. This house was perfect! The view was breath-takingly stunning, and we were lucky enough to utilize the pool because the weather was so lovely. The hot tub was wonderful, and we used it several times. There were seat options to eat for six, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. We were sad to leave and would absolutely stay again! The convenience to Safeway was also a plus.

Beautiful Home with Fantastic Views

Palazzo Marzino is a beautiful home nestled among the redwoods on the side of a mountain. It has dramatic views of the Russian River, hundreds of feet below, from the outdoor areas and from many of the abundant windows in the house. The outdoor seating areas are very nice, with great views of nature and frequent sightings of several species of beautiful birds.There are thermostat-controlled fireplaces and TVs in every bedroom. There are two larger TVs in common areas, with ample seating in which to lounge.The architecture of the house is very interesting, and it's impressive how they were able to build such an impressive and beautiful structure without disrupting nature to a larger degree. The house has many unique wall hangings and other decorations.Guests must be able to climb stairs, as all bedrooms are on a different level than the living areas. There is only one bathroom on the level with the main living area, the other two on the level with the bedrooms. The street to the house is VERY steep, but manageable by a patient driver. House numbers are not in numerical order on the street, so pay more attention to GPS than the numbers on the houses, and you will find it.

A Unique Property Could Be Your 5 Stars or 4 Stars

This property is well maintained and nicely decorated. There are stars involved in its daily use. You must be able to do stairs. The kitchen is well equiped and the pictures are what you see is what you get. Summer weather would be more acceptable than our wet, cool, and rain filled Christmas week. The multiple fireplaces and heating system work great.The only drawbacks are with the sleeping arrangements. One king and two queen size beds. The bedding was tired and for the rental price it should be improved. Only a queen size bed was ensuite whereas the other bedrooms had access to one same floor bathroom and the other bathroom was on the second or main floor. Not ideal but only a minor inconvience.We had a good family time over Christmas and food preparation was easy once you worked out how to fit three working amateur cooks in the space. The views are impressive from the kitchen and elsewhere.
