We needed a chance to get away from everything over inauguration weekend, and looked for a place where we could be close to nature. We had a wonderful stay at VillaNova and just what we needed. We were able to drive 15 miles to Los Gatos for dinner (Polenteria -- all gluten free kitchen!) and the next day drove 20 minutes to Capitola beach and a little farther to Nisene Marks state park to walk in the redwoods. The weather was perfect for outdoor things, but tbh even if it hadn't been, we would have loved just cozying up at VillaNola. This little place is perfect - all the furnishings are just what you need and fit perfectly into the space. It was accurately described on the website; we met Azadeh on arrival and she would have been available if we needed, but otherwise, we were on our own to enjoy! After being in some vacation homes where we had to bring our own salt and pepper, VillaNola was a dream! Every kitchen utensil you could ever need for cooking and baking, and staples like olive oil, coffee, and tea. We would definitely return and thank the owners for all the thoughtfulness and planning that went into creating VillaNola!
