What an amazing resort and so happy we made the choice to stay at Failla Villa as a family!
Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family to celebrate the before and after of our son’s wedding. We used every outdoor amenity the property had to offer (which is tough to do) and made a lot of memories together. The house had everything we needed inside and out. The hosts were wonderful to work with and we’re so accommodating. FUN TIME BY ALL!

Beautiful Retreat
We absolutely loved our stay in this truly beautiful house and retreat. Every corner of the house and the outdoors is so tastefully decorated. There are so many lovely sitting areas. Greg and Heidi responded quickly were so warm and kind from our reservation and throughout our stay. We really appreciated their hospitality and loved all the activities available here. This was the perfect place for our family trip, where all generations in the family could enjoy. We look forward to returning here soon, and hopefully for a longer stay.

Your own private resort
We feared the description was too good to be true--till we got there and found that everything was just as advertised! Our family loved the pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and miniature golf. The kitchen is unusually well stocked and set up for serious cooking (plus there are two outdoor grills). There are so many outdoor seating areas that I think we never even found them all. Our hosts were also very conscientious and easy to reach. Truly a find!

About the host

Hosted by Heidi

Host profile image
We have lived in Ramona for almost 50 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. When we saw this property for sale, we knew it would be such a blessing to countless folks who want to escape to the countryside for fun and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

There is no other property in Ramona (or possibly in the north county San Diego area) that offers what our property offers. You get the biggest bang for your buck at Failla Villa with all the amenities, comfort and beauty!

Our desire is that Failla Villa be a place of total relaxation and that precious memories would be made here. Our guest book is full of sweet praises about how they felt refreshed, care for and spoiled by all aspects of the property. Mission Accomplished!

We are so grateful for all who have stayed at Failla Villa - they have become like family. We simply can't wait to meet you and hope that you would find Failla Villa to be a place that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with every unique inch of the property as we saw such incredible potential! We have had such fun making it a one of a kind, jaw dropping property.

There is truly so much to enjoy at Failla Villa! Everything from the personal little touches in the home, enjoying a cup of coffee on the front porch rockers, to the bon-fire pit for roasting marshmallows, to sitting under the gazebo listening to the babbling brook, to reading a book in the hammock hut or the book nook. The mini-golf course is not only fun and challenging to play, it's beautiful to look at. The views, breezes, landscaping, sunsets and the glory of the brilliant stars, all speak for themselves. We are positively confident you won't want to leave.
