We came to Seattle to fall in love with our new grandson and ended up falling in love with him AND a house ! La Rustica Villa! Magic! The location is superb, directly across from a beach and Puget Sound, with spectacular views. We loved watching all of the activity on the Sound from the front terrace as we had our coffee in the morning or evening cocktails. But just as enchanting as the location is the house itself! It is so masterfully decorated , full of wit and whimsy. We were calling it our happy house at the end of our 2 week stay. Marlow was so generous: with refreshments and bath supplies and cooking supplies and advice for special trips. The house was much bigger than we expected , with a fun, quirky living room, a gourmet kitchen ( with Viking appliances, no less), lots of sitting nooks , lovely master bedroom and a shower that a Roman god would appreciate. We did too! Absolutely a once -in-a-lifetime find if you can book the Rustica Villa. We loved it!
