Looking for a calm, cozy, romantic getaway? Look no further, Blackbird Inn near downtown Napa is the place! Here you will receive a very warm welcome, with friendly innkeepers briefly helping you familiarize yourself with the nice wineries nearby as well as pointing out the standout restaurants in the surrounding area. The amenities of this B&B are fabulous. If you are able to, definitely select the downstairs corner room, as it has a small private patio, with your own entrance/exit leading to the street which takes you to great shops and restaurants within a quick, safe walk. The bed at Blackbird is extremely comfortable, the fireplace beautiful and very warming, perfect for chilly nights. For breakfast you have options: enjoy your meal outside of your room, take a plate back to your room, or have the plates delivered to your room for $10/per person per day. Opting for the later, was a great experience. You can stay in the plush robe offered and enjoy your private patio or simply stay in bed - isn't that what a B&B is all about? The food itself was good, and somewhat tailored to the guest's preferences (time of arrival, vegetarian, milk or cream, salsa etc.), however, guests may expect the food to be homey, not gourmet. Melon/cantaloupe pieces, large portion of oatmeal, eggs (hard boiled- not the most ideal for eating on the bed I found - another in a type of soufflé/quiche form), bacon is crisp, American coffee, and a croissant (I've had better bread as this one was a bit cold).
It's the extra touches which really make this B&B special. With freshly baked crunchy oatmeal cookies awaiting you in the lobby/gathering area in the early evening, as well as the complimentary happy hour providing wine, cheeses, and crudités, you may want to stay in. Add a large, clean, hot tub into the mix, and you may never want to leave at all!
