Hey you, you girl on the go, take a mini-break from the hustle and bustle of city living, or your hectic j.o.b., and book a sumptuous stay at Quoia, a Bay Area sanctuary located on the slopes of Mount Tamalpais. Quoia is so much more than your average retreat, as it gives you something that those big, overcrowded resorts can't: complete privacy. Quoia is a posh, but totally comfy private home nestled in the woods that you and your travel mate can have all to yourself, complete with a stocked kitchen, an outdoor watsu hot tub, DVD/music library, and a palatial master suite. An "ask and you shall receive" attitude defines Quoia; upon arrival, we were greeted with a pre-drawn bubble bath sprinkled with rose petals, along with raspberries and a bottle of champagne- tres romantique! Tired of dining out? Quoia can arrange for a gourmet chef to come in and prepare a five-course meal. And since the restaurant comes to you, why not the spa too? Have a massage therapist tend to your tense nerves. Other perks, like a personal yoga instructor and nutritionist, are available upon request. After a weekend of champagne, many a soak in the watsu tub, hiking through Muir woods, and enjoying the serenity that Quoia offers, it's no surprise that when we left we were a bit teary-eyed. We can't wait for our next V.I.P. visit.
