The home is a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy streets below. Think old Hollywood glamour but with modern amenities, like a washer and drier. The location was simply perfect, just a few minutes from great food and nightlife. However, the most sound you’ll hear are the hummingbirds whizzing by while you lounge and sip a glass of wine by the pool.
The home is decorated with unique and beautiful things, including photographs and paintings, that share just a glimpse into the life-story of the exceptional hostess, Nona. We were so privileged to stay in her home and to imagine ourselves in the moments captured in the photographs that adorn the place. Something that could be overlooked but that shouldn’t be—the sheets and towels were so fresh, clean and luxurious.
I feel quite emotional writing this, as our family felt like we were truly, sincerely at home. I feel like we’re leaving our home of decades, not just days. This will be a moment of my life that I hope I never forget. We’d absolutely love to return and would so very much enjoy the privilege of staying in contact with Nona—that’s how great she is. What a blessing our time has been because of this home and hostess.
