FIVE emphatic STARS. CAN'T MISS. I can't imagine a better place to stay for a luxurious and romantic stay in Napa. We stayed during January 2019 and prices couldn't be beat at $200/night via the Napa Vineyard Inn website. It was really too good to be true.
Some other reviewers noted that Kevin, the proprietor was so gracious, and I was thinking, "oh, maybe they know him, etc." but WOW they were right. It takes alot of thought and effort to really extend your hospitality on a personal level each time and Kevin came through. He texted me the day prior to check on our arrival time and ensure we had everything we needed to get in. We arrived late so he left the key in the room along with a lovely birthday card and cake from Bouchon, for my husband. Kevin's a true gem and I can't recommend him or his establishment enough. On the way out, we just dropped the key by the lobby and he emailed me my portfolio.
Note: this place goes by Napa Vineyard House on Yelp, but on tripadvisor, is listed under Napa Vineyard Inn. If giving directions to locals/googlemaps you may wish to try either/or.
Highlights:
-HUGE suite, I'm thinking around 700-800 sq ft, maybe more
-HEATED bathroom floors. You can adjust temp if you want toasty toes in the morning
-clean, wood floors
-three pastries from Bouchon in Yountville delivered each morning, different selection on each morning
-All suites (with patio, expansive bathroom, sitting areas, kitchenette)
-microwave, Nespresso machine, sink, dish soap/sponge, plates, silverware, glasses, mugs
-complimentary water bottles, white wine, two sodas, fresh half and half, extra Nespresso capsules (espresso, coffee, and decaf options)
-extremely clear and responsive communication with proprietor, Kevin. He met several custom requests for us, including a birthday cake delivery, refresh of our slippers, and was just super accomodating.
-complimentary umbrellas to take wine tasting
-Adjacent to all the best restaurants in Yountville. (halfway b/w Yountville and downtown Napa, so a last minute CVS run was convenient, as was evening dining in Yountville)
-cable channels/including HBO
-gas fireplace
-bedside control for BLACKOUT curtains
-private patio
-L'Occitane toiletries (shower cap, file, makeup wipe, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, q tips/cotton rounds)
Cons (ish)
-no pool/hottub, if that's something you're looking for during summer months. We came in winter and our extra deep, gigantic bathroom tub bubbled up with L'Occitane bath gel, was more hygienic and intimate anyways.
-some minor bleach stains on the couch and discoloration on the rug, they both looked recently cleaned so probably just scars from a previous stain. This wasn't an issue for us, and maybe added some rustic flare to the otherwise spotless room.
Incredible stay and can't wait to be back. It was so good, it made us consider doing an annual trip. A little bittersweet giving this review since I imagine it will get harder and possibly more pricey to stay here once more folks start booking.
Thank you Napa Vineyard Inn for an unforgettable and truly lovely stay.
