Palazzo Marzino ~ An Italian Inspired Villa ~ 3 Bed ~ 3 Bath ~ Pool ~ Hot Tub ~

Palazzo Marzino ~ Vacation Rental License #LIC23-0197
An Italian Inspired Villa ~ 3 bed ~ 3 Bath ~ Seasonal 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). 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 queen size bed and ensuite full bath, a private bedroom with king size bed, and the most favored bedroom in the house with a queen size bed and incredible views of the Russian River and it's surroundings. The deck holding the hot tub with forest views and a full hall bath are also located on the lower level.

Lovely Stay

The property was immaculate, loved the layout. The pool, hot hub and views were stunning. We all had an amazing time! Pro tip - instacart / doordash etc. from the local Safeway can be quite slow, make one big order.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Smith

Host profile image
After years as working as an employee in the short-term rental market I took a leap of faith and began working for myself in 2021. I enjoy hosting visitors to the Russian River area, where I have lived all my life. I hope that each guest staying at the property leaves with a smile on their face and the consideration of a return stay.

Why they chose this property

Managing a home in Guerneville with a Russian River view like this gifts me the opportunity to daydream while visiting Palazzo Marzino. Once up at the top of the Summitt Avenue the unobstructed views of the Russian River, the seasonal pool, and of course, the hot tub makes it a shame to leave the property. Not to mention the property owner's continual advocacy for animal rights; these people are fabulous, and I am proud to consider them my friends!

What makes this property unique

Everything.
