We recently spent 12 glorious days at the Villa by the Lake. It was a delightful space indoors and out. It was spacious, beautifully decorated and lovingly maintained. The gardens surrounding the home were a world unto themselves. We spent our time visiting with our son and his family, but someone who needed creative space or just some time away from the hustle of life could love this place.
We saw the full moon rise over the reservoir on a starry summer evening. We had hummingbird visitors during the day, The birds were the only sound we heard in the morning. The June morning haze turned into warm, sunny afternoons and perfect evenings for dining in the garden. We had tea by the whimsical fountain in the front garden with friends and dinner guests in the generous dining area.
We had everything we needed to cook or to be entertained. Trish and John provided tea, coffee, waters, wine, sparkling cider, cheeses, bagels, and fixings and other breakfast items so our first morning we were pampered. They provided quality soaps and shampoos and too many things to mention . We were in a peaceful oasis neighborhood, but in walking distance to Gelsons and Trader Joe's. We walked around Silver Lake almost every day.
Working with Trish and John was great as well. They responded quickly and thoroughly in any communication.
We can't wait to come back very, very soon.
