The Space:
When you step into The Wilson by Portoro you are greeted by a upscale, laid back vibe that immediately lets you know you chose the right home for your stay. You will be delighted by the thoughtful design, from the modern cabinetry and wall treatments to the natural elements of leather furniture and greenery.
The ground floor includes a gorgeous kitchen you'll wish was your own that includes an island for added countertop and dining space. Feel free to take advantage of it during your stay to whip up a gourmet meal for you and your friends and family. The kitchen opens to the living space with a smart TV offering the perfect place to curl up and catch up on your shows. A half bath is also conveniently located on this level.
There is a garden patio off of the living area that is beautifully landscaped with native plants and creeping vines set against a bold wooden and metal backdrop. There is a table that is perfect for an outdoor lunch or for your morning coffee. The patio leads to the backyard where you can play cornhole or even unwind in the seclusion with meditation or yoga.
When you are ready to turn in for the night, head upstairs to the two bedrooms - one with a luxurious queen bed and the other with two comfy singles. In addition to the two bedrooms there are two full bathrooms upstairs, each equipped with walk-in showers.
