Cruise in past the private gate or prepare for landing in your helicopter; either way, arrive in style at Villa Sorriso, located on the Mayacama Mountains nestled between Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley. The stone carving surrounding the front door divulges the owner’s ode to Italian architecture, elegance and nature.
 Villa Sorriso’s backyard is your own private wilderness, with acre upon acre of possibility.
The majestic residence spans approximately 20,000 square feet, featuring 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths, 6 half baths, steam rooms and an elevator. Store your precious art in climate-controlled rooms, keep wine at the perfect temperature in the cellar and entertain or relax in the multi-level state-of-the-art theatre.
An oak-paneled library, the lightwood shelving exuding a lived-in feel, is the perfect setting for leisurely reading. In the living and dining rooms, French doors reveal beautiful views of the mountains, and the multiple terraces in the home bring you closer to that breathtaking view.
Step out onto the antique European stone deck and you’ll want nothing more than to spend your summer swimming in the 65-foot infinity pool, relaxing on the manicured lawns or admiring the beautiful sculpture garden.
Further out, Villa Sorriso’s backyard is your own private wilderness, with acre upon acre of possibility. The land surrounding the abode features cozy picnic spots, olive groves and plenty of land to climb and explore. Your personal spring-fed pond is a serene fishing spot, and a seven-stall horse barn gives plenty of room to populate the land with your own herd. Villa Sorriso is within the Mount Veeder appellation, providing elevation and soil for world-class cabernet sauvignon grapes. Ajoining the property is Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, offering thousands of acres more of open space. San Francisco is merely 80 minutes away, making this location as exceptional as the acreage. An on-site manager is at the helm of the villa, taking care of the home, vineyard and ranch, making Villa Sorriso a truly serene escape.
