Built in 1998, Villa La Sosta is a magnificent Mediterranean-style home strategically located just outside of San Francisco.
The villa offers expansive and lush outdoor space, complete with a sky-blue swimming pool and pool house, guest house, bocce ball court, tennis courts, and a four-car garage. The 2-acre grounds are accessible via a a pair of private gates and a cobblestone driveway under a porte-cochere.
Yet nothing can prepare you for what you’ll find inside the property. Entering Villa La Sosta will make you feel like you’ve just been transported to Vatican City, if not an imposing European castle, as nearly all the walls and ceilings are covered in hand-painted murals, and the hallways and corridors are decorated with statues.
Details throughout the mansion include hand-carved moldings, custom ironwork, and marble floors with inlay medallions and mosaics.
