We just returned from a wonderful trip at the Carneros Inn. It was such a great stay. From the moment we arrived, everything was outstanding, particularly the service. The staff is so attentive and friendly, the grounds are beautiful. We loved the hilltop pool, and breakfast at the Boon Fly Cafe each day. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great, relaxing vacation and good value for luxury accommodations.

Unique, Beautiful and relaxing

The separate cottages give you a feeling that you have a whole house to yourself, heated bathroom floors, indoor/outdoor showers are unique, heated garden to give you additional room to relax, beverages and fruits are complimentary. Taking a walk of the grounds with apple and fig trees and peaceful fountains are lovely. Robes and slippers are provided for your use. They thought of everything!

Exceeded Our High Expectations

Usually, a hotel's website will make the rooms and grounds appear better then they actually are. Not in this case. We had high expectations based on the price, reviews we read, and the website's photos of the resort. It was even more serene and picturesque than we imagined. Canneros Inn is a truly unique resort: small cottages, isolated setting, abundant gardens, views that overlook a vineyard with mountains in the distance, first class dining at the Farm restaurant, outgoing concierge staff, and top-notch friendly service. We had a couple's massage at the spa that was fantastic. The spa offers a steam room and sauna as well. Attention to the smallest details from fresh fruit and mint ice water to lovely outdoor massage tables make the spa exceptional. The concierge also arranged for a shuttle to Napa Valley Balloons, which provides hot air ballon rides over Napa, followed by a small champagne breakfast - this is a must! After seeing many resorts in the Napa/Sonoma area, we are convinced we found the gem among them. We will be back to Carneros Inn again!

Ballon Ride - you get a shuttle from the hotel to the take-off site. In the ballon, you fly over vineyards, clouds, and small rolling hills - absolutely amazing views. Afterwards, you go back to Dom Chandon Winery for a small hot breakfast.

LOVE The Carneros Inn

The hotel was absolutely perfect and we really enjoyed our stay here. We had our own private house/cottage with a front porch, indoor sitting area with fireplace, comfortable bed, huge bathroom with heated floor, easy access and private outdoor shower, private deck with table, chairs and lounge chairs and our very own garden. What's better than that? Everyone there was very nice and helpful. The concierge gave us great suggestions for wineries. We had brunch at the Hilltop restaurant and ate outside over looking the pool and views of the beautiful country side and surrounding vineyards. We went to Market and purchased cheese, bread and wine for our own enjoyment on our private deck. We had a delicious dinner at Boon Fly Cafe. And enjoyed drinks outdoors by a fire pit at Farm. The grounds were extensive, but everything was walkable and beautiful. My husband and I can't wait to go back!

Amazing Resort

The Carneros Inn takes luxury to another level! We spent one evening there during a weekend trip to Napa and fell in love with the place. We dined at the Boon Fly Cafe for breakfast (excellent food for a reasonable price, just get there before 9 am) and the Farm for dinner (fresh ingredients, great wine list). We also picked up sandwiches and snacks at the Marketplace for a picnic...great food and very convenient. The service at this resort is unbelievable! From check-in to showing you to your room, this hotel is very well managed. Make sure to leave enough time in your schedule to spend time on the property. It is absolutely beautiful, and we will definitely go back to enjoy more of the resort.
