The Villa Agave - Placerville, California

Our stay at The Villa Agave was a delight. The whole Villa was sumptuously decorated with exquisite textiles, natural fibers and art that made me really stop and enjoy.
Because there were so many inviting nooks, it was easy to share the space with the other guests, and still felt like we had all the spacious solitude we craved. We enjoyed the wrap-around-deck for yoga and mediation. Our room was cozy, spacious and inviting.

We had a sweet connection with Bonnie, the host. Her stand for environmental stewardship is an inspiration. The land was splendid, as were the sunrises. We took several turns around the hiking path and enjoyed taking family photos on the lovely patio, with the Villa’s stunning architecture as our backdrop.

The breakfasts during our stay were a nourishing and artful three courses with seasonal and organic morsels.
Bonnie cheerfully accommodated the many varied dietary restrictions in our party - no small feat.
We look forward to returning!

Bonnie hosted us at her fabulous abode as part of a weekend retreat. I can't say enough about how fabulous the location, she, and her beautiful villa were - making the retreat all the more special. The natural surroundings and Bonnie's warm personality were unexpected bonuses. If you enjoy nature, a beautiful villa, super comfortable beds (!) and generous hospitality then you can't go wrong staying here. I can't wait to come back!

What an absolute delight is this country oasis! Incredibly special and serene, the villa itself is a work of architectural beauty, and the surrounding area is lovingly maintained. The interior is like entering a very cool museum…every piece of furniture, every design touch, from the Saltillo tiles to the original, clever artwork to the flowers is lovingly created and presented. The owner has not missed a beat, and her attention to detail to ensure comfort for her guests is a blessing. My suite was so comfortable, and the view was so lovely, and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The breakfasts are organic, delicious, and served either in the pretty dining room or outside on the equally pretty porch overlooking the garden. I’m delighted to know about Villa Agave. I’ll be returning often.

Bonnie is a fabulous hostess! Her beautiful home is the perfect retreat to relax in. My husband had to get up early for work & Bonnie had a 3 course organic breakfast with fresh hot French Press coffee waiting for him every morning. After I dropped him off I was greeted with a fantastic breakfast & coffee too! She is so friendly and sweet and always making our stay perfect. She treated us to a fun tequila tasting! Can’t wait to try her tequila once it is made! Save me a couple bottles Bonnie. Our room was fabulous, the bed was so comfortable the bathroom was so spacious and the view was breathtaking!

We stayed here as part of a road trip to explore California. It was a brilliant find.||The property is well maintained and very clean. There are three bedrooms/suites with a shared sitting dining area and sun terrace with great views. A lot of thought has gone into the design and furnishing of the property and it really works well.||The owner (Bonnie) really goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent - fresh fruit, homemade quiche and pastry with champagne and/or Orange Juice.||A Tequila tasting session is included - Bonnie really knows her stuff and is growing Agave to start producing her own in a few years time. ||Apparently not many Brits visit this area which is a surprise as it’s both unspoilt and interesting. || A brilliant bed and breakfast run by an exceptionally caring owner. There was nothing not to like about our stay and we hope to visit again.

We had our wedding at the Villa Agave and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Bonnie was an amazing host! The villa is stunningly beautiful. We were treated to a custom tequila tasting for our bridal party, 3 delicious breakfasts, and a super comfortable room. Bonnie hit the perfect balance between privacy for us and our guests, and availability to help with anything we might need.

Before and during our stay, Bonnie was communicative and generous, and worked with us to make sure we had the perfect experience. I would recommend this place to anyone considering it, whether you’re looking for an event space or a quiet romantic retreat. We had a lovely time and would do it again in a heartbeat!

We recently hosted our intimate wedding here at The Villa Agave and we were blown away! The property was beautiful and the home appeared to be inspired by Spanish style architecture. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The host Bonnie was amazing. She lit up the room with her presence and personality. She also made a delicious gourmet style brunch for us. She really knows her tequila and also hosts tequila tastings for her guests. She accommodated all of our needs and worked well with our vendors. The Villa Agave exceeded our expectations and we can’t be any happier.

Beautifully secluded Vila with an amazingly gracious host. Bonnie is a beautiful soul and is so warm and welcoming. We were treated like royalty. Highly recommend Vila Agave whether you are planning a retreat, reunion, or any other occasion.
