Robin Williams' Napa Valley estate, known as Villa Sorriso, was an extraordinary private retreat that combined a vast mountain property with a mansion of nearly 20,000 square feet. Williams commissioned the estate in the early 2000s, creating a secluded compound spread across about 640 acres in the Mayacamas Mountains between Napa and Sonoma valleys.
