“When shopping for a home in Coronado/San Diego I highly suggest working with the Nelson Riddle team. I worked Jim Nelson for over 6 years looking for the perfect place that would accommodate my budget and check all the boxes. I really cant believe he actually kept taking my calls? He never pressured me, and it never seemed like he was getting aggravated with my almost buys. After the sale he has become a great resource for any questions and all in all just a great guy. When looking start with Jim, then make your decision.”
“We were very lucky to have Jim and Debbie representing us in our home purchase. We met Jim through a referral and from the day of our first meeting to our date of closing was only 53 days. We had a very specific set of needs and Jim knew immediately which house on the market would work for us. Once our offer was accepted, our transaction encountered a number of challenging circumstances along the way, on both the buyer and seller side, and Jim was able to keep the process moving and on course. At every step of the way it was clear that Jim's focus was working toward our best interest. I was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethic and would definitely recommend the Nelson Riddle team to anyone in need of Real Estate expertise.”
“We have bought and sold many homes over the past few decades. We have never had a better experience than we had with Nelson Riddle team. The house sold for top dollar, the selling process was almost effortless, their marketing materials are top-notch, and they do it all with a sense of urgency, easy manner, and with a smile. Do use.”

A sanctuary is a place where someone feels safe and serene. Within our homes, the primary bedroom serves as a sanctuary within a sanctuary. It’s the intimate space where we begin and end our days, and seek refuge from the outside world.
The concept of sanctuary is as personal as a fingerprint, so even the dreamiest of primary bedrooms today can look and feel very different. Some bedroom retreats may take design cues from the hotel world, incorporating an adjoining sitting room for unwinding at the end of the day or a dedicated cappuccino bar to start the day. Reading nooks or meditation rooms are also increasingly popular additions. Many, though not all, will be oriented towards a view – whether it be water, mountain, or city. And if a primary bedroom has a private balcony? Perfection. Calming color palettes

warm, layered lighting are common, and can immediately set the tone that this is a space for relaxation and retreat. Natural elements like wood, stone, plants and fireplaces are favorites, as they promote a sense of well-being. High-quality luxury bedding and textiles ensure a restful night’s sleep. Blackout shades, aromatherapy, or soothing sounds also go a long way in creating “ambiance.” Adding personal touches – like artwork, photographs and decorative pieces from a homeowner’s travels – can also go a long way in transforming a primary bedroom space from a mere sleep zone to a sanctuary optimized for true R&R.
No matter what your idea of sanctuary is, we’ve collected three of the most havenlike bedroom suites in the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury world at the moment.
Consider your serenity tank filled from the moment you walk inside this dream Costa Rica bedroom suite. Boasting wide open views via a disappearing wall from its elevated position, the bedroom fosters deep connection with nature by effortlessly merging with the breathtaking tropical surrounds of Whales Coast, which lies just south of San Jose.
The views make the room. It’s the case for this splashy primary bedroom suite in Miami Beach. Envisioned with a warm modernist aesthetic, the sun-lit space brings serenity and everyday comfort into striking harmony. An adjoining sitting area with a custom media divider pulls double duty as a prime viewing spot for both gamewatching and admiring those stunning bay views from floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Dual bathrooms and oversized closets elevate it.

don’t have to be just dreams.
In the south of France, west of Marseilles, you will find a city that offers the trappings of old-world refinement and a beautiful climate for relaxing, Montpellier.
Historically, the area boasts the distinction of being the first Roman Province North of the Alps from the late second century BCE. In the time since then, it has served as the home to the first medical university in Europe (12th century), and served as a hub of commerce, with the population doubling in the past sixty years.
With growth like that, its no surprise that Montpellier is home to one of our newest offices in France, Coldwell Banker Villanova Realty.
for a city so close to the Mediterranean which boasts gorgeous beaches, mountain vistas, and the Camargue, a wetland at the delta of the Rhone river, rich in biodiversity. And for those few days it does rain, there is a fine art museum, and of course, “beaucoup” choices of regional gastronomic specialties. It is France, after all!
“Georges Freche, the former mayor of Montpellier, used to say, ‘Montpellier la surdouée’ (Montpellier the gifted) because of its ever-increasing development,” shares Arnaud Blazy, the Director of Coldwell Banker Villanova Realty. “But there’s another, much more local one, ‘Montpellier là où le soleil ne se couche jamais!’ (Montpellier where the sun never sets).” Indeed, 300 days of sun a year is perfect
Montpellier is known for its medieval architecture, picturesque streets, and vibrant cultural life. The Montpellier region offers a great diversity of landscapes, ranging from the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean to the mountains of the Cévennes. It is also renowned for its vineyards producing quality wines, as well as its rich Mediterranean cuisine. Economically, Montpellier is dynamic, with a developed tertiary sector and a strong presence in research and innovation. The region also attracts many students thanks to its renowned universities and pleasant living environment.
The Hérault region traces its history back to Narbonne Gaul, the first Roman province North of the Alps. It enjoyed centuries of growth, in the 12th century with the first university of medicine, and in the 15th century with the development of the High Cantons’ factories, which exported their fabrics as far afield as the Levant. It also experienced a number of crises, including the plague in the 14th century, the Wars of Religion in the 16th and phylloxera in the early 20th. Montpellier, the region’s capital, has been a garrison town, a centre of student life and a seat of central power, whose influence can still be seen in the city’s architecture. A city of commerce, trade and counters, it has remained since the post-war years, a mecca for tourism and sun-seeking. The richness and diversity of its landscapes and natural areas, combined with the region’s mild climate, create an exceptional living environment the department’s appeal. In fact, in 60 years, the population has more than doubled, with jobs moving primarily towards the production of goods and services to meet the needs of the local population.
