Luxury Spanish Villa in the heart of Rockford

YOU’VE FOUND IT!!!! The best listing on Airbnb. I cannot rave enough about how unbelievably satisfied I am with everything that had to do with our stay. Marlene was so unbelievably accommodating without being overbearing at all, and the pictures truly do not do it justice. It's just so beautiful, with cute little touches throughout. If you are debating on booking this place, I urge you to do so and see for yourself! You will not be disappointed!!

This place was an amazing escape for two best friends needing some girl time. Marlene was super hospitable from the start! We fell in love with this Spanish Villa and will definitely be back!

This is the most gorgeous home I have ever been to. Every room was beautifully designed and super clean. The hot tub was so relaxing, and the backyard looked absolutely stunning. I truly felt pampered, like I was in a local paradise. I cannot thank Marlene enough for this experience!

What an amazing stay! So unusual, and extraordinary! Our group of seven, plus our pooch, really enjoyed the whole outdoors and indoors.

An incredibly Special place, none of us have ever seen anything like it.

Marlene was a terrific host, being very responsive when we had questions and stay in touch, just the right amount!

We would recommend this to anyone!

August 2023, Group trip

This is by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. The entire place was so well thought out and fully stocked to make you feel right at home! It was super cozy and filled with things to admire. The upstairs loft room makes you feel like a princess the moment you walk in!

“You NEVER have a stay at a “perfect” location, unless it’s at the Sedona of Rockford.  It is worth every penny.  How dare you give me literally nothing to complain about!!”

“I work in a 5-Diamond hotel, and let me be clear when I say, the service here is OUTSTANDING!  The property is clean, well decorated, and has everything you need.  I mean everything you need-relaxing bath salts, hair dryers, toothbrushes, feminine products, washer and dryer, and even ample parking for events.”

"Magical, mystical, must experience to believe, enchanting stay.  Thank you."

“Talk about a dream come true!  We were not ready to leave when we did. Every room of this house is just beautiful with so many things to look at and admire.  Worth every penny.  Hope to be back soon!  Thank you!”

"It was a fantastic spot to be.  A variety of stores and restaurants within minutes.  The house was beautiful and spacious, inside and out.  The property had so many quirks and features.”

“Truly and astonishing place.  This house is absolutely beautiful and you can tell they paid very close attention to detail.  The owner of the house is an absolute Jewel.  I will be returning.”

“My daughter & her husband rented this place for a week for their wedding!  What a wonderful location for them and our family.  "The rooms are beautifully decorated and unique.  The outside is tremendous!  There are so many little areas to sit, talk, and enjoy the beauty of the yard.  There is a fire pit where they made s’mores.  There is room in the driveway where we had a tent for the dinner after the wedding.  There is a beautiful gazebo where they had the ceremony. A wonderful setting for some wedding photos. Highly recommended!”

“Comfortable beds, lots of places to relax and socialize, including a great outdoor area with a hot tub.  Quite the jewel in Rockford.”

“This was, hands down, the most unique and surprising property I have ever visited.  The host and crew did an exceptional job of preparing, communicating, and creating a magical experience.”

"AMAZING stay!  The second we walked through the doors we were teleported to a different country.  Can’t wait to come back!”

“This place is definitely one of a kind!  You can tell the time and attention to detail put into it.  Phenomenal stay.  Would HIGHLY recommend.  The outdoor areas are exquisite with plenty of room and awesome plants.”

"This was probably our favorite stay of all the others in our profile.  The property was gorgeous and fun.  I couldn’t decide what to do first!  The hot tub was ready to go and relaxing in the cool morning hours.  Marlene was the perfect host & so kind & helpful.  Would love to return.”

This was such a wonderful place to host my sister’s bachelorette party.  Every room is different and unique, and there is something to find in every corner.  This place is made to have something for everybody and it was truly a wonderful home to stay in.  I highly recommend this place.  The attention to detail was just truly amazing and the host made it all easy.”

“Absolutely beautiful.  Breath-taking.  Walking into music playing in the background makes it feel like you got transported to a vineyard country somewhere in Argentina.”

“This place is INCREDIBLE.  Even better than the pictures!”

“This was absolutely the best Airbnb I’ve rented over the years.   We travel 10-15 times a year with Airbnb houses and I truly can’t put into words how amazing walking inside was.  The fireplace was lit, the waterfall in the dining room was going.  You truly have to walk through to see all the breathtaking art and wonderful decoration. “

"Marlene is INCREDIBLE.  I reached out to her a year before my wedding to see if we could host it at her property and she responded with a resounding “yes.”

She was there for anything we needed in the year between booking and the event date.  Marlene is the best host we have encountered thus far. I’m so happy we lucked-out and found the Sedona of Rockford.  It made our special day that much more wonderful and we will never forget it.”

“We need the option to provide 6-Star ratings for places like this.  I have booked through this app for 10 years and this is the most gorgeous, welcoming space I’ve had the pleasure of staying at.  Marlene was a fabulous host during my wife and my Valentine’s weekend getaway and we felt right at home.  The photos are gorgeous, but it’s impossible to capture all the beauty and thoughtful touches.  You can tell there’s care put into every little detail and it has amazing energy all around.  Our trip to Rockford was made even better thanks to Marlene’s hospitality and we will definitely come back!”

“Like a fairytale!!  This place is Magical.  We would definitely return!”

Wow, Marlene does it again!  This is my second time staying at this gem.  Everything was literally perfect all over.   The first time we stayed with family and they still talk about it.  Second time stayed with friends and a 1-year-old God Daughter.  Thank you, Marlene and staff, for providing a safe and wonderful, resort-like experience!”

“This is, by far, the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at.  The entire place was well thought-out and fully stocked to make you feel right at home! The upstairs suite makes you feel like a princess the moment you walk in.”

“Marlene’s place is a fanciful fantasy.  It’s like being in a romance novel. Come for the grape adornments and stay for the comfy comfy beds.”

“Marlene, her staff, and the property, are amongst the best of the best.  The home offers so many elements of entertainment that it would take a multiple day stay to enjoy it all.  The home is decorated in such a unique way that it feels like you’re in a museum.  I will definitely be back!”

“Marlene is a top-notch, excellent host.  Her place was extremely unique, fun, and has everything you can possibly need.  The touch and thought that went into it was second to none.”

“Just book it.  This place is awesome.  It’s incredible.  Whoever put this place together, truly has a gift!”

“This was one of the most AMAZING Airbnb’s we have ever stayed in.  Classy, sophisticated, comfortable, and fun.  So many unique touches, you could never get tired of looking around here.”

“A luxuriously cozy home with fun, eclectic decorations.  Every inch of the space was immaculately clean and the kitchen was filled with absolutely everything you’d need to entertain.  The enclosed backyard felt like our own little oasis.”

“Amazing place to stay.  The house matches its description and its even beyond beautiful!  Highly recommend this one for larger groups.”

"Marlene was such an amazing host.  The house was STUNNING!  By far the best experience I have ever had.”

“This was our third time staying at the Villa and we can’t wait to go back.  The furniture and décor are so unique and well curated.  Every corner of the house is distinct and looks like a postcard.  The hot tub and fireplace made us feel cozy.  The basement was such a great hang-out pad.  We had a blast playing arcade games.”
