This is an amazing property. The house is only part of the experience here. It's situated on a 10 acre vineyard, with a 360 degree view of al the surrounding mountains with the coast off in the distance. We booked it for the 4th of July weekend, so we were entertained by the fireworks shows of all the neighboring cities, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, etc. When you are driving up the main road you spot the villa perched on the top of the hill from miles off. When I booked it, I guess I didn't realize I was looking for a giant vineyard, with a grand entrance gate. So, I actually drove past it and had to turn around. The driveway up to the main house is literally a small road in itself. Anyway, fantastic stay. Malibu beaches are about 15 minutes away, and it's a quick shot down the hill. We did mornings at various beaches, and then afternoons with a good glass of wine, and a book by that infinity pool in the sunshine. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch place to stay in Malibu if you are up for the hills and don't feel like you need to be on Carbon beach.
