2008 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Reader Survey Winner - First Place

Best Place to Renew Your Vows

This Mediterranean-style mansion nestled in the foothills in Saratoga lends a certain magical quality to everything from celebrations to art events to live music. Built in 1912, its 175 acres were left by Sen. James Duval Phelan to California to be a place for all of those pursuits.

2007 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Staff Pick and Reader Survey Winner - First Place

Best Place to Renew Vows
If you are cheesy enough to want to renew your vows, then this is the right spot. The well-manicured Villa Montalvo is nestled in the Saratoga Hills—private and secluded enough so the rest of the world doesn't have to be subjected to your love ceremony.

— Metro, Silicon Valley's Weekly Newspaper, September 26, 2007

Montalvo is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring a love of the arts in everyone by presenting the best of the literary, performing, and visual arts, supporting practicing artists in the major creative disciplines, and providing significant arts experiences for children. Located in the Saratoga hills Montalvo occupies a Mediterranean-style villa on 175 stunning acres, which Senator James Duval Phelan left to the people of California for the encouragement of art, music, literature, and architecture.
