Magical hidden oasis! We spent one night at Omer's Oasis for a Mother's Day getaway. Though we could have stayed a whole month, the one night was a soul-nourishing retreat. Omer's place is nestled among the golden hills of Los Gatos - only an hour drive from the hustle and bustle where we live in Oakland but felt worlds away. We made good use of the outdoor pizza oven (thank you Omer for calling me with the instructions!), feasting under the setting sun as the bougainvillea petals danced around us and Buena Vista Social Club wafted from the garden speakers -- I'm telling you, paradise! Then, hot tub under the big dipper, a cozy sleep in the king sized bed, and back in the hot tub in the morning while we sipped our coffee and listened to the symphony of bird song. It felt like a Rumi poem.
Omer was incredibly gracious, setting up the outdoor kitchen with wood and all the tools needed to make the pizzas. He was very quick to respond to the questions I had prior to my arrival and was immediately available by phone when I had a question the night we stayed. I would highly recommend his place to anyone looking for a relaxing get-away. My endless thanks to you, Omer! Hope to be back soon!
