Escape to the (wine) country with a stay at this stunning single-storey home, complete with its own vineyard. Vast floor-to-ceiling sliding doors reflect that life here is best lived outside, while its single-storey layout and open living spaces encourage you to spend time together inside and out. All this is only aided by your host's "take a bottle, leave a bottle" policy. Help yourself from the extensive selection before topping it back up with a bottle from one of several nearby vineyards. We can picture spending endless sun-soaked days sipping sauvignon blanc out on the front deck, with awe-inspiring views of the nearby mountains. Alternatively, why not share stories around the firepit as you swirl a bright pinot noir around your glass? Good wine needs good food. Thankfully the fully kitted-out kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need to unleash your latent culinary creativity. Alternatively, there's a gas grill in the backyard for chargrilled outdoor eating. With dinner ready, gather around the three-person breakfast bar or the gorgeous wooden dining table. On days when you don't fancy cooking, the home is just minutes from Healdsburg, the epicentre of Sonoma County's dining scene. Its vibrant downtown is dotted with a mouthwatering selection of restaurants, from celebrated chefs to innovative up-and-comers. At the end of the day, break out a book and retreat to the quiet of the reading room, or stretch out on either of the two super king-size beds before falling into a wine-induced slumber. Remote black-out blinds ensure you can enjoy a lie-in if you need it.
