From the owner

A magical 'dream dome', our 2nd cottage now opening at the romantic & private Chianti Life Retreat, w/ private decks, a fabulous skylight to the moon & stars over the romantic bed, & a fireplace, both inside & out.

The Chianti Life Retreat in Topanga Canyon – You have to experience it to believe it!!!

Choose the gorgeous main cottage with its Romantic European Charm, a master bedroom that looks out into the tops of the trees, 30 feet over our stream-fed creek, it’s large clawfoot bathtub and European linens, or choose our Magical Dream Dome Tree house, where you can go to sleep on an 18th century French bed, under an enormous skylight watching the stars and the moon, and wake up to the trees and birds overhead.

Add a massage, a Tai Chi or Yoga Session, or a 5-Course French or Italian dinner by Chef Ciel outdoors on the expansive wooden bridge that connects the two.

Enjoy the wine, the flowers, Ciel’s famous scones and granola as you sit by the fire to read, write, or just be at one with nature in the deep-set canyon surrounding you.

Lie back and feel the welcoming and protective nature of the sun shining quietly through the live oak trees spread above you.

A typical response from one of our guests says it all.

“I am not sure if the words are enough to describe this experience…Out of this World…Magical…Enchanted…The Chianti Life experience I had was one of a kind. As if this place was in a Storybook of Fairytales…and as if Ciel was just this Beautiful Fairy with a heart of God…I had the most unforgettable experience and can’t wait to tell everybody about you and your magical world! Thank you a million times.”
