California has a history of wonderful bed and breakfasts scattered throughout the state and Villa Agave belongs in the top tier. It is itself a destination. Perfect for a quiet, restorative weekend away, or for exploring El Dorado County (with wineries surpassing Napa [Lava Cap and Iron Hub are favorites], gold rush history, biking, hiking, etc.) or for exceptional lodging if you are in the Placerville area for personal or professional business. It is a perfect get-away to share with friends: it's beauty, comfort and custom support (provided by its wonderful proprietor, Bonnie) will guarantee special memories forever. Do yourself a favor and plan some time away, as it's a perfect "retreat" space. I can't recommend it more highly.||Sandy S.

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!

If you are looking for a beautiful property surrounded by exquisite views with an extraordinary host, then you’ve found it! With so many nearby activities, from wine tasting to river rafting, and a sense of nature out every window, Villa Agave does not disappoint. ||We had so much fun enjoying the surrounding areas, walking the property, sipping wine and tequila on the deck overlooking the valley, and enjoying wonderful cuisine at nearby restaurants. ||The breakfast was divine and the host went out of her way to ensure we had a unique and memorable time. ||As a world traveler with high expectations, I unequivocally recommend Villa Agave. This is the third time our group of friends have stayed at the Villa and we will keep coming back again and again.

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!

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!

I have been to the Villa Agave on three occasions for our annual girl friends weekend, and I highly recommend it as great retreat spot. I always leave feeling like it’s never enough time. Bonnie is the most engaging host who has a vast amount of knowledge about tequila! You don’t want to miss the tasting, even if you know nothing about the wonderful agave. ||She is also a heartfelt earth steward, who cares deeply about the natural environment. The wild animals who visit and live on her property are welcomed and nourished by her always flowing fountain. She even built a special step for small critters, in case they fall in. Not to mention the bird condo she created for nesting birds looking for a protected area away from predators. This is a kindness not often seen and it say’s a lot about who Bonnie is.||The Villa itself is immaculate and beautiful with views of the surrounding hills and trees that breath a sense of calm and serenity. The beds are so comfy, I always leave feeling nourished and refreshed.||One last thing, on the morning of our arrival, I had inquired about getting a massage. It was a last minute request and I didn’t think it would happen, but Bonnie put in a call and two of us were able to get a massage, right there on the property in the Spa room. We didn’t have to go anywhere and it was a great way to start our visit!||All in all, I highly recommend Villa Agave!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Villa Agave, and we could not have asked for a better experience. While we were struck by the photos on the website before visiting, they don't do the villa justice. It sits amongst the trees and is surrounded by mountains. As soon as we arrived at the property, passing agave along the way, we knew that it was special. And that was before we met Bonnie, who was the epitome of the perfect hostess. She greeted us with a warmth and kindness that was so genuine and really just set the tone for our stay. She then proceeded to give us a tour of the beautifully crafted and designed villa, which ended with our room - the Añejo Suite. As is the case throughout the villa, the Añejo Suite is immaculately clean and sublimely comfortable, and we didn't want to leave. Had it not been for Bonnie's tequila tasting and three-course breakfast with mimosas, we may not have. Our two-night stay at The Villa Agave was far too short, and even before we left, we were planning our return. ||INSIDER TIPS: 1) Stay in the Añejo Suite. With the comfy king-sized bed, floor-to-ceiling windows, spa tub, and rain shower, it really is a treat. 2) Unless you don't imbibe, partake in the complimentary tequila tasting. Bonnie's knowledge of agave is expert (hence why she's been able to successfully grow it on her property -- in Placerville!), and she has several delicious options, some of which you can only get from Mexico. 3) Even if you don't usually eat breakfast, make room for Bonnie's. She asks in advance about dietary restrictions/preferences, and she uses local, delicious ingredients. I have never liked quiche, so when Bonnie set a slice of one in front of me, I was tempted to give it to my husband. But, because her breakfast the day before had been so good, I decided to try it. It did not disappoint. 4) Take advantage of Bonnie's familiarity with the area and ask for her recommendations. We took her advice on restaurants, live-music options, apple farms, and wineries -- and we are so glad that we did. She'll even make reservations at local wineries for you, if you like! (I highly recommend David Girard Vineyards.)
