    We worked with Briana + Nick of Casa Bella Verde when we photographed a wedding there in September…read more These two wonderful people could not be more hospitable and accommodating, and are a real delight to spend time with. The gorgeous design and attention to detail with the structures design and both interior and exterior design, are breathtaking. The infinity pool with stunning views is like we have never seen before, and the sunset over the valley as seen from the front of the home, is magnificent. We highly recommend staying with them or hosting your event at their beautiful home.

    To simply describe our stay at Casa Bella Verde, IT WAS MAGICAL. We live in San Francisco so having…read morethe luxury of just gazing out into the middle of nowhere with complete silence doesn't exist. Our son was turning one month and that is exactly what we were looking for, a couple of days away from the busy city life. We didn't want noises of cars driving by, people roaming the streets and having conversations outside of your bedroom window. I came across this place while surfing airbnb and we couldn't have been any happier that we found it. Briana was a great host! She gave me a call within a few hours of me booking the place online. She advised me that it would be smart to have all of my grocery shopping done prior to arriving at Casa Bella Verde as there are no stores in the immediate area and she also advised me of the unpaved road that is leading up to the house when you turn off the main road. Having the knowledge of these things was very helpful. The "guest house" that you stay in has everything that you might need to have a weekend (or even longer) of relaxation. The guest house is very modern with the amenities one might need and not need. We were particularly fans of the jacuzzi hot tub which is big enough to fit 4 adults. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck which has some amazing views. As a host, we couldn't have asked for a better one. When we got there she did a walk through with us to explain to us on how all of the gadgets work (everything is very high tech.) The fridge was stocked with eggs, some english muffins, and orange juice. As we were making dinner we realized we forgot olive oil and balsamic, I had asked Briana is she by chance had any and without a doubt she did. Within a couple of minutes of me asking I was able to walk over to the main house and there was what we had asked for on the kitchen counter. Thank you for everything Briana and I look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

The brunch menu had a small selection of options but what was on there was good. We did not do the flower bouquets this time due to time constraints but will next time we come back.

    Mother's Day brunch: The menu was very small, ran out of multiple items, and, again, it was very…read moresmall; service was all over the place. They comped the meal, and we didn't ask for it; we only wanted to split the check, which was a policy that was never discussed, but their system could do it. So they decided to comp the check, given the many issues. Then the manager calls me after we leave, leaves a message, and says, very passively aggressive, "We comped your meal, but you did not leave the server a tip." Servers live off tips. But don't worry, we took care of her tip. Have a good day." Umm, excuse me? I was a server for over 7 years. First of all, I wouldn't expect a tip after the establishment that failed me by not ensuring they had adequate kitchen supplies to keep a Mother's Day up and running. Additionally, I would have added more staff to the day, which would of course be very busy. And lastly, how are we tipped when you comped the bill and walked away, and nobody had cash? We did not ask for the bill to be comped. So for future reference, dear John I don't recommend calling your customers and bullying them over voicemail. You're the problem, not us.

    Past reviews made me sus but I had a positive experience staying here…read more People who came through these doors did not come in a good circumstance. At least, that was my situation. But I felt that the staff was always kind, friendly, and understanding. Volunteers who came to clean the common areas were pleasant and polite. When I needed help with trivial things like keeping the door open or for toiletries supplies, the staff and volunteers are resourceful and always ready to help. Kitchen and common areas were clean. Other patrons were also kind and respectful. I enjoyed my stay here even if other things outside of these doors were stressful. Thank you for your help and support.

    This is the worst place u can stay at . I've stayed here for 3 weeks due to my newborn son being in…read morethe hospital for COVID and I don't live near the hospital he is at, they charge you 50 a day. To me that's a lot of money, I'm only 19 and not working due to my newborn being at the hospital and my job was in Tracy I lost my job due to him being at the hospital. They didn't have no hot water or heater and they didn't fix it until 2 weeks later. They didn't charge us for 2 weeks since there wasn't not heat or hot water. They fixed everybody heaters and hot water, but ours. Our hot water was working but not the heater and it's raining so much and it's so cold in there, they asked for money and we told them why do we have to pay if the heater doesn't work and to go check it out for themselves it's like a ac in there and they said ok and then they called the cops on us when they said they were gonna send somebody to look at the heater and then the front office said oh everybody heaters work I need money now and we paid them and then 2 minutes later they came to the door with the police again and said here take ur money back the staff doesn't want u guys here too many complaints but we've never interacted with the staff or anybody , most of the time we be at the hospital with our son. We asked what they said and they said oh we don't know and they kicked us out like some dogs in the rain. So unprofessional please don't go here it's not worth $50 a day . Bugs all over the kitchen , front desk people always sleeping and not doing there job . Every room has twin beds and a small tv that doesnt work . No hot water or heater. Very rude. Very unprofessional. Don't waste ur money here.

Outside of being a gorgeous venue with endless options to give you the most beautiful and personalized day, Katie was an absolute gem throughout the entire process. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient, answering all of my questions and even talking me off the ledge a few times when the stress of planning got to me! Katie was flexible and accommodating, adjusting to our needs and making sure everything was just right. On the day of the wedding, Katie and her team were nothing short of amazing. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to just enjoy the day without any worries. The entire experience felt effortless, thanks to their hard work and attention to detail. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and we're so glad we chose Gold Hill Gardens for our big day. It truly was perfect. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service. Thank you, Katie and team, for making our wedding day perfect!
