It's hard to do this beautiful place justice in words or in photographs. Situated just outside Saratoga in the foothills is a villa that once was the home of one of California's US Senators. Now it is known as the Montalvo Arts Center. It's an artist sanctuary. Go see a concert, a play, an art exhibit, host a party, or just enjoy a picnic in the green space in front of the villa. Very Euro of them I must say-- park space for just, well, being. Thus far, I have been enjoying the hiking trails. Below are some pics of this magnificent place.
