French Countryside Villa at Dorner Family Vineyard

10/10 Excellent
"WOW WOW WOWAfter spending the past two weeks of our summer vacation staying at several different “supposedly luxurious” boutique hotels, cabins, and spas throughout Oregon and California, this was the one place that not only met our expectations but actually surpassed them.The villa is impeccably designed and tastefully furnished, and the property itself is absolutely beautiful. Although it’s clearly new and has plenty of modern touches, it somehow captures the feel of the villas we stayed in while touring Italy years ago. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories.One of our favorite things was simply sitting out on the back patio just after sunset and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.We only stayed one night, but the villa was exceptionally quiet and had everything we needed. If we're ever in the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here—and next time, we're definitely staying for several days!"
