"Tucked along Yountville's main drag, the idyllic hideaway mimics an Old World Mediterranean oasis with ivy-covered stucco and stone walls, tranquil stone fountains, and a cozy lobby with a vintage reception desk, marble-lined fireplace, and orb-shaped pendant lamp. Anchored around a central courtyard, each of the 20 guest rooms are appointed with leather tufted armchairs, 300-count linens, and patios. Second story rooms have balconies with valley views. The revamped eatery, The Restaurant at North Block, serves up coastal-inspired fare from wild mushroom flatbreads to halibut with autumn puree, heirloom carrots, olive salt, and Syrah-pickled grapes. For brunch, order the lemon ricotta pancakes." - Jennie Nunn
