BeautifulPlaces, the leading villa rental company in the Napa/Sonoma Wine Country, offers a hand-selected collection of luxury vacation residences and destination experiences trusted by discerning travelers for more than two decades.
Given Wine Country’s proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area and its abundance of things to do, BeautifulPlaces has long promoted the region as an ideal destination for families and multigenerational groups looking to reconnect and have fun together in some of the country’s most stunning settings.
The current portfolio includes homes with up to seven bedrooms, with private swimming pools, and a dedicated section of the BeautifulPlaces website now highlights family-focused activities, including local markets, parks, hiking, swimming, and nearby fun centers such as Traintown, Safari West, and Connolly Ranch: https://www.beautiful-places.com/pursuits/focus-on-family.
“People are often surprised to discover how family-friendly Sonoma and Napa are,” says Patrick Smith, CEO of BeautifulPlaces. “There is so much more than wine here, and for families a private vacation rental is the often the smartest and most comfortable choice. Spacious homes mean room for everyone to spread out, cook together, dine alfresco and gather in common areas without worrying about noise, precise timing, or other logistics. Kids can nap while parents relax poolside, and grandparents can enjoy privacy while still being steps away from the action.”
That “action” often begins right at home. Many BeautifulPlaces residences include resort-style amenities such as tennis, basketball, bocce, ping pong, and pickleball, in addition to family-friendly swimming pools. A few guest favorites include:
- Bocce, basketball, and ping pong at Simply Divine
- Tennis matches at Panorama Estate
- Pickleball tournaments at Secret Garden
- Golf closest-to-the-pin and longest-drive competitions at Villa Paradiso
BeautifulPlaces can also arrange unforgettable private experiences for families, such as:
- Children’s cooking or baking classes with a private chef
- Pizza-making parties with a mobile wood-fired oven
- Astronomy nights with a telescope and local astronomer
- Swim lessons or yoga sessions with private instructors
Additional family-friendly residences include the cozy-chic Lux on First, a two-bedroom retreat just steps from Sonoma Plaza; Twilight Ridge, a spacious view home one mile from downtown Sonoma; and Bungalow Twins, a two-cottage compound outside Glen Ellen.
