The whole house is yours minus a detached outer bedroom and 3 locked cabinets that are for extra supplies. I will walk you around the house by phone. I am available by phone and so is my husband and daughter, Sonya. Go do it all or kick back and do nothing! Amour Getaway, in the heart of Sonoma Valley is within minutes of wineries, fine food, art, music, theater, spas, shops, state parks, Jack London’s home, Infineon (Sears Point) Raceway, golf courses, horseback riding, balloon flights, biking and hiking, yet guests always comment that the Amour Getaway is so incredibly quiet and relaxing. Amour is located only 45 miles north of San Francisco, 45 minutes to the beach or the redwoods. Neighborhood Our quaint, rustic neighborhood of Boyes Hot Springs is perfect for a five-minute stroll down our street to the homemade ice-cream store and fruit market, or to the Barking Dog Café at the end of Vallejo Street. Check out the authentic Mexican Restaurants just a block further or the elegant Fairmont Hotel and Spa just across from the cafe. If you favor a longer walk to the historic town square of Sonoma, use the walking/biking trail that starts on Hwy 12 across from the Breakaway Cafe. Sonoma, only five minutes by car, boasts fabulous and varied restaurants, live music, a wonderful old movie theater, sidewalk cafes on the square, cheese makers, and interesting unique stores. There is always something interesting going on in town (with the information center on the town square), such as art fairs, live bands, fiestas, film and music festivals, and outdoor theater. Glen Ellen, just two miles north, is home to the famous Jack London State Park, and also has wonderful restaurants and shops. Rates and cleaning fee include the 12% Sonoma County Occupancy tax that is required.
