YOU: The Owner's Manual

The Sonoma Coast Villa & Spa is a fantastic place for authors, writers, and artists to get away -- be quiet, and think or create. We always enjoy when a published author visits us. Recently, we had Michael Roizen, M.D. stay with us, who is the co-author of the book YOU: The Owner's Manual. This is a great guide to becoming healthier and younger looking and feeling. We were especially appreciative that Dr. Roizen found our food tasty and healthy.

We hope to see you soon.

Dinner at the Villa

During your stay at the Sonoma Coast Villa, we suggest that you dine with us! Each evening from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., you can order a prix fixe dinner which includes organic mixed salad, a choice of entrees, choice of side dishes, and dessert. Let our professionally-trained chef guide on a tasting adventure! Typical entrees can include seared Bodega Bay sea scallops, organic Sonoma rack of lamb with mint sauce, and New York steak with rosemarie. Sides dishes include grilled organic vegetables, roasted potatoes, and portabella mushrooms. All dishes are made with fresh, local ingredients, and we make everything from scratch. We also offer a large selection of local red and white wines, and of course, champagne! Visitors to the Villa can dine in our beautifully situated dining room, or in the privacy of your private Villa. We look forward to seeing you -- and serving you -- soon!

Nearby Town: Occidental

A cute town to visit during your stay at the Sonoma Coast Villa and Spa is Occidental. It's about a 15 minute drive from the coast inland, and includes passing through a redwood forest. Occidental has shops and restaurants, and, on Fridays, a great little farmer's market. Also, we've just learned that one of the Victorian houses in the downtown area is being rennovated into a new dining establishment -- the Barley and Hops Tavern -- with an expected opening date sometime this July. Check out the new owner's blog if you'd like a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to remodel, refurbish, and launch a new restaurant/tavern!

Famous People...And Events

Yes, the Sonoma Coast Villa and Spa makes a great getaway for the couple seeking quiet and romance. Yet our Villa is large enough to also accommodate small groups for corporate meetings and such. Over the years, we've hosted many organizations, from the folks at Victoria's Secret to the motivational speaking team of Joe Montana and Tom Mitchell. In fact, their group will be staying with us later this month. Clients love the Villa because we have everything here on site: comfortable and classy rooms, a full-service restaurant, and of course our spa. We hope to see your group here soon.
