Outstanding place

A highly recommendable place with great atmosphere, comfortable bed, clean rooms and outstanding breakfast. Perfect for relaxing at the porch, fire place, hot tub or sauna after a long day of visiting wineries.

Great BNB for a romantic getaway

Mike and Debbie are fantastic hosts. The breakfasts were amazing and our room was quite comfy. We took advantage of the hot tub. Perfect after a long day of hiking. There's also a sauna but we ran out of time. Maybe next time. We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful Stay

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The innkeepers go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. The breakfast and evening sweets were amazing! The only thing I would improve upon is the super firm bed.

Charming

Santa Nella house was a great B&B. We stayed in the cottage room, which is a separate room in the back of the main house. It was very tranquil and cozy. The hosts were excellent, and so was the breakfast! There are a ton of wineries nearby and the ocean is about 25 minutes away. I loved it.

Great B&B in beautiful area

We had a nice stay at Santa Nella House. Very nice location close to town, redwoods, and a short drive to the coast. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the room comfy and clean!

Stepping back in time

The house reminded me of the house that i lived in at Berkeley many years ago. The bathroom has a tub with a shower stand, all enclosed with two shower curtains around it. The water flow was nice and everything worked. There is a fireplace in the room and the bed was quite comfortable. As you enter the house, you are greeted by the sweat smell of cinnamon and home cooking. They put out some home made tasty cookies and chocolate at night along with hot tea. The breakfast included fresh fruits, yogurt, eggs, corn bread, juice, tea/coffee, and bacon. The house is by a road but there was hardly any traffic and we got a very good night of sleep. There is also a small stream running by the property which adds to the beauty of the place. We had a room on the second floor. There are steps to get to the floor level and a second set of steps to get to the second floor. For older people who have trouble navigating stairs or families with small kids this may be an issue. But for us it made it extra fun.

Lovely B&B in a forest setting

Lovely B&B in a quiet forest setting, very comfortable bed, close to Guerneville. The only downside was the fireplace needed better ventilation but that was a minor issue compared to the whole experience.

It was our idea of the perfect Bed and Breakfast experience. It's a fine old home with wrap around porch, beautifully maintained and decorated down to the last detail. Gracious and accommodating host and hostess. Excellent food. It was a great close location for the starting swim of the Ironman Vineland Triathelon, but far enough away to have beautiful, quiet seclusion in the redwoods.

Wonderful Sonoma Bed & Breakfast!

I booked two nights here because of its convenient location to Johnson's Beach at the Russian River in Guerneville--I was competing in the Vineman Ironman triathlon. It's about two miles from the beach, and about a twenty-minute drive from the finish line in Windsor. My room was perfect, with a nice private bathroom, and the B&B is nicely appointed. The owners are warm, friendly and thoughtful, just as you'd expect for people who have been operating such a place for years. I didn't spend much time at the hotel, as I checked in rather late in the day on Friday and left early Saturday for the swim start, but I enjoyed my stay enough that I plan to come back for a weekend away sometime soon. Highly recommended!

Great B&B tucked away in the Russian River Valley

Looking for a quiet escape while the kids were visiting Grandma, and this is a great place to get away from everything while being tucked away in Sonoma wine country. The owners were very nice and turns out we had some loose connections with them in our background. Small world! Breakfasts were huge and excellent, and they did an **amazing** job accommodating my wife's food allergies. Local recommendations for food and wineries were great. Definitely a treat staying here during the week where there is little traffic. Russian River Valley, where this is located, got quite busy on the warm Saturday when we departed. The complimentary Sonoma Wine Tasting Pass is a huge money saver too...many wineries that we visited from the pass have $15-30 tasting fees, and they were all covered. Good for trying new wine brands you may never have heard of, and plenty that you have.

Cute place with friendly owners

Secluded, and quiet (parking is a little funky but available). Loved the sauna and hot tub outside. A little off the beaten path, but definitely an enjoyable place to stay.

Yesteryear's charm with all of today's convenience

From the moment you turn the brass bell on front door 'till you depart over the river through the redwoods, you can't help but relax and enjoy your stay at the Santa Nella House. The rooms are well done; sheets are high count polished cotton; linnens artfully decorate each room. Snacks are set out on period perfect pieces. The breakfast was delicious and filling, accomodating to all palates! The hosts were friendly, accommodating but stayed in the background ready to meet our every need. Don't miss this place!

Nice charming bed and breakfast showing age

This is tucked away amongst the towering redwoods in Guerneville. hots were very professional and reached out on check in time and left a note & key since we were only able to reach late in the night. breakfast was also made in the morning which was good. only thing is hotel is showing its age and the owners should seriously think about upgrading, lest they take on a liability. example is the bathtub... its a traditional bear claw one but its set so high with no grab bars, that the elderly person traveling with us slipped and fell. Thankfully, she didn't have any major issues. others may say this is a charming part of the hotel's appeal, but if you are senior, pregnant or even with kids, it just isn't practical or safe, be it the bathtub, the electrical connections, the steep stairs etc.

Had a great stay.

Beautiful property, good location, convenient to hiking, wine tasting and the coast. Near town but not right "in it." Mike and Debbie were helpful and gracious, and the breakfasts were amazing! We also enjoyed meeting the other gueatssts over breakfast. The owners are relatively new, so I would only read the more recent reviews on this one. It was everytting you want from a B ansd B experience.

We stayed in the cottage, it was absolutely beautiful. Very quiet, peaceful. The main house was also very beautiful, the owners were very friendly and accomodating. The food was delicious. Loved everything about it.
