Arianna’s place was quite a gem! The decor is stylish and minimalistic with details (fresh flowers, lemons from the backyard, books, a picture of the beetles in the bathroom, etc.) that help the place feel unique and comfortable. It was spotless and the housekeeper was very friendly. With a view of the mountains & ocean, a light breeze and soothing sounds, you’ll surely fall in love with the place. Located only 5 minutes away from the village, 10 minutes to the PCH and across the street from the best hike in Topanga, the place is perfect for any plans you have! Driving up the mountain roads were a blast (others could say the opposite), although the gravel driveway is a bit rough and I recommend going slow until some of the holes and ruts are filled in. The hill up to your retreat can be tiring after 3 trips, so pack somewhat lightly. The main house is only a few feet away, but within 5 minutes of your stay, you’ll forget it’s even there! We had a wonderful trip and Adrianna only made it better with easy communication and wonderful guide to Topanga. I definitely am looking forward to my next stay at Adrianna’s cottage in the clouds!
