Bungalows 313
Sonoma’s Hidden Gem for Wine Lovers and Tranquil Retreat Seekers
Tucked away just a short stroll from the historic Sonoma Plaza, Bungalows 313 feels like a secret that’s too good to keep. This intimate boutique property, composed of charming bungalows set around a serene courtyard, offers a perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and Sonoma style. It’s a destination that feels like home—only better, with wine country’s finest experiences at your doorstep.
A Place That Feels Like Home—But Better
The charm of Bungalows 313 is its unique combination of privacy and community. With just six bungalows, the property maintains an intimate atmosphere, making it feel more like a private hideaway than a hotel. Each bungalow is individually decorated, blending classic European elegance with a touch of Sonoma’s laid-back vibe. Think stone fireplaces, plush bedding, and private outdoor patios where you can sip your morning coffee or a glass of local wine in the evening.
My bungalow, Terra felt like a private oasis, complete with a cozy living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious bathroom stocked with plush towels and luxurious bath products. The attention to detail is exceptional: fresh flowers, a bottle of local wine to welcome you, and even a fireplace for those cool Sonoma nights.
The Courtyard: A Social Heartbeat
At the center of Bungalows 313 is a beautiful Tuscan-inspired courtyard with a bocce ball court that’s perfect for lounging, mingling, or simply soaking up the Sonoma sun. The communal space encourages guests to gather around the fountain with a glass of rosé or enjoy a quiet moment under the shade of an olive tree. It’s easy to lose track of time here, chatting with fellow guests about winery visits, restaurant recommendations, or the best hidden tasting rooms.
The courtyard also offers a fire pit, which becomes a cozy gathering spot in the evening. On my first night, I joined a small group of guests around the fire, where we swapped stories of the day’s adventures over a bottle of Pinot Noir from a nearby boutique winery. It’s these spontaneous moments that make Bungalows 313 so special—a sense of connection that feels both effortless and enriching.
Location, Location, Location
One of the standout features of Bungalows 313 is its unbeatable location. Just a five-minute walk from the quaint Sonoma Plaza, you’re perfectly positioned to explore everything this charming town has to offer. From top-notch tasting rooms to chic boutiques and award-winning restaurants, the best of Sonoma is literally at your doorstep.
During my stay, I took advantage of the proximity to the Plaza by visiting some of my favorite spots: a leisurely tasting at Three Sticks Wines, a cheese and charcuterie spread at The Girl & The Fig, and a visit to the historic Sonoma Mission, all within an easy walk. And when you need a break from the buzz of the Plaza, retreating back to the tranquility of Bungalows 313 feels like a restorative exhale.
Perfect for Wine Lovers and Relaxation Seekers
Bungalows 313 is ideal for couples, small groups, or solo travelers looking to immerse themselves in Sonoma’s wine culture without sacrificing comfort or privacy. The property’s fully equipped kitchens make it easy to prepare your own meals, though with Sonoma’s culinary scene right outside, you might find yourself more inclined to dine out. Bungalows 313 offers guests a complimentary wine tasting passport that provides them access to 25 local wineries & tasting rooms.
Whether you’re in Sonoma for a romantic getaway, a wine-soaked weekend with friends, or a solo retreat, Bungalows 313 offers a stay that’s as relaxed or as lively as you want it to be. With its warm, inviting atmosphere and unbeatable location, it’s a place that captures the best of Sonoma’s laid-back elegance. And once you’ve experienced it, you’ll be planning your return before you’ve even checked out.
A Final Toast to Sonoma’s Best-Kept Secret
In a town known for world-class wines, Michelin-starred restaurants, and stunning landscapes, it’s easy for accommodations to get lost in the shuffle. But Bungalows 313 stands out by offering a place that reflects the charm, warmth, and hospitality of Sonoma.
So next time you’re planning a trip to wine country, consider this your inside tip: Bungalows 313 is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience you’ll savor long after your last sip of Sonoma Chardonnay.
