Great stay!

My wife and I went up to Marlborough for just an overnight visit to some vineyards, and Sylvia's was the perfect choice for our stay. Clean & comfy room, convenient, beautiful views, easy in/easy out, and our host was terrific - friendly and a good communicator throughout the whole process. Thanks for a very nice visit!

Sylvia was great. The place was nice and secluded but just outside of town. It was exactly what we needed.

Fabulous views all around

Steep climb to a hill top over-looking hills, valleys, vineyards and ocean; hard to beat!. Room was part of main house with bathroom in hallway next to room, not quite an en-suite. There as also access directly from outdoors. A few more dishes and utensils would have been appreciated. Sylvia was very friendly. I highly recommend.

This was great - a bedroom and bathroom in a beautiful house with magnificent views with the friendliest hosts we have ever had. Nice touches like a nespresso coffee maker in the room.
