"Opened in 2022, The Madrona represents another recent addition to Healdsburg’s expanding luxury-hospitality scene, reflecting the town’s rapid growth as a culinary and wine destination." - Justin Goldman
"Housed in an 1881 Victorian mansion on eight acres of former farmland in Healdsburg, this 24-room hotel pairs verdant gardens and citrus groves with an inspired interior by Jay Jeffers; patterned fabrics, animal-motif paintings, whimsical bunny-ear chairs and elephant lamps complement high-beamed ceilings and bay windows that overlook the charming grounds." - Kristin Braswell
"New as a hotel, but anchored by an ornate 1881 Aesthetic Movement mansion, this property stands in stark contrast to the Tuscan and Provençal pretensions of so many other wine-country hotels. Set on the west side of Healdsburg, its extravagant silhouette isn’t the only surprise for arriving guests." - Le Guide MICHELIN
"An intensely creative, art-forward stay in Healdsburg, this Victorian mansion–turned–hotel takes its cue from the Aesthetic Movement and Oscar Wilde, with owner-designer Jay Jeffers brightening formerly heavy interiors, refreshing the palette, and filling rooms with artwork while preserving the estate’s late-1800s bones. Spread across a mansion, a former horse-stable Carriage House, and standalone bungalows on eight acres of a farm founded in 1862, the all-unique rooms pair cozy furniture and fireplaces with playful Aesthete-era motifs—peacocks, foxes, and rabbits—and whimsical touches like bunny-ear chairs and an elephant lamp. Original antiques remain throughout: carved black beds from the 19th century, the home’s dining table newly finished in white, and vintage spirits displayed in a stunning, heavily carved étagère beside the restaurant. A mile from Healdsburg’s center and about ninety minutes north of San Francisco, the property balances the town’s glitz with farm serenity; its wraparound porch, restored by Jeffers, invites lingering. The restaurant favors hearty, seasonal, garden-supplied fare and sometimes eschews exclusive wine-country cuisine for tempura or Wednesday fried chicken, while the cocktail program is unexpectedly inventive for Sonoma and Wilde would love the wine list, too. Sustainability shows in a half-acre garden that uses regenerative techniques and ingredients foraged for the bar. Solo travelers and couples can opt for studios or salons in the Mansion & Carriage House, while larger parties can connect certain bungalows into two-bedroom suites; for those seeking a bucolic, green escape with help snagging hot reservations, this is a wine-country jewel we’d recommend to our closest friends." - Mitchell Friedman
"The Madrona is an 18th-century manor awarded Two MICHELIN Keys, offering plush accommodations and a restaurant with classic dishes." - J'nai Gaither
