The bedrooms are tastefully furnished, one with Mediterranean style furniture and Adra’s dressing table, the other with Art Deco Waterfall furniture.

The house is beautiful inside and out. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. The only "downside" and I use this term loosely, is that it is on the main thoroughfare and was a little noisy at night. All in all we had a wonderful stay.

The home is gorgeous! It felt luxurious to just lounge in the living room amid the antiques and tasteful decor. The bocce court is a nice touch. And the location is convenient.

Great location!

beautifully decorated with period piecesA tad dark for my tastes, could use more lighting. A TV in a common area is needed - watching a show as a group in the bedroom - a little awkward!

Charming Spanish Colonial near downtown

Beautiful and charming 1930’s Spanish Colonial walking distance to downtown with many original features and furniture. This historical home was gorgeous and we loved seeing the picture of the original owners hanging in the dining room. It had an adorable sunny breakfast nook off of the kitchen to enjoy your morning coffee, a front patio for soaking up some sun and beautiful grounds with lovely Camilla flowers and plenty of trees. The host was very communicative and friendly and it was the perfect place to unwind and relax. The beds had luxurious linen sheets and duvet covers and were very comfortable.We can’t wait to come back during the summer months to enjoy the bocce ball court and the rattan loungers. A real gem and a nice change from the generic gray rentals that seem to be everywhere.

Wonderful gem in downtown Napa

If you love historic houses, this is for you! We had a slight snafu with check-in, but after an hour or so the host was able to reset the entry code so we could get in. The house itself is very well maintained and we loved learning about the history of it. The street is very busy during the day, but Napa shuts down pretty early, so it was quiet at night. About a 20 minute walk from Main St. Gorgeously maintained house, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen. Our only regret is it was too cold to play bocce -- next time!

Perfect Location

Great location and price for a quick trip to Napa. Enjoyed walking to town (Winston’s has the best breakfast!) and being close to the highway. Two changes that would have made the stay even better (a TV in the living room and better bath towels). Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed the historical touches!
