Flirting with bohemian unconvention glossed with a classical patina, this modernized contemporary vacation home lazes in Le Midi vibes.

An intimate curation of eclectic design works accented by expressive contemporary art from the owners’ personal collection elevates Sonoma’s breezy vitality, deepening a lasting legacy across generations.
