Sunstone Villa & Guest Cottage - Private Castle on a Santa Ynez Vineyard
Experience timeless elegance at our Provencal-inspired Sunstone Villa, offering 8,500 square feet of exquisite living space surrounded by breathtaking vineyards. Built using reclaimed limestone from centuries-old French châteaux, hand-formed roof tiles, and a collection of authentic treasures — including a 1,000-year-old kitchen sink — the Sunstone Villa transports you to a world of refined luxury.
The Villa offers five meticulously appointed suites, each with a King bed, private bath, Mascioni Italian linens and bedding, L'Occitane bath essentials, and authentic French antiques. High-speed Wi-Fi and daily light housekeeping ensure a comfortable and seamless stay. Guests enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, and a bottle of Sunstone wine. Additional refreshments are available for purchase within featured minibars and wine fridges. The Villa includes accommodation for up to 10 guests (2 per suite), with up to 2 queen blow-up mattresses and 2 twin cots additionally available for additional fees.
The Villa’s grand interiors feature the Lower and Upper Foyers, Parlour, Great Room with Kitchen, Dining Room, Winding Staircase, Billiards Room, and Study. Outside, enjoy the beauty of the Entry Court, Central Courtyard with Fireplace, Kitchen Courtyard, Grand Lawn, and Motor Court. The Villa features eight stately fireplaces, expansive terraces with stunning mountain and vineyard views, and expansive seating and dining areas, perfect for intimate gatherings, candlelit dinners, and curated culinary experiences.
Guests are welcome to explore the Sunstone Estate, whether by exploring the vast vineyards on foot, or visiting the award-winning Sunstone Winery Tasting Room located a stone throw away on the Estate’s lower terrace.
Nestled in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, the Sunstone Estate is surrounded by majestic mountains, sprawling vineyards, and world-class dining and wine country. Just minutes from the quaint city of Solvang, our historic Sunstone Villa provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable luxury escape.
