Romantic, Private Jewel - 3 blocks from Downtown St.Helena in the Napa Valley


NOTE: LOCAL ORDINANCE PROHIBITS SHORT TERM RENTALS…..HAVE A NAPA VALLEY ADVENTURE AND LIVE LIKE A LOCAL!!!!!

Check out all the reviews…. The location is great with walking distance to everything. Plus, the house and gardens are truly special!!

Picture the charm of a Provence-lifestyle, combined with the natural beauty of the Napa Valley. This art-filled home is a unique Jewel: it combines multiple indoor/outdoor living spaces and takes full advantage of the fabulous Napa Valley Mediterranean climate….. Quiet, private and serene.

The house is in a PERFECT location -- just blocks from the heart of downtown St. Helena and easy walking distance to everything you would want: fabulous restaurants (Charter Oak, Farmstead, Cook, Market, Gotts, Tra Vigne, Model Bakery, and more), wineries (Merryvale Vineyards, Clif Family Winery, Hall, etc.), great spa with heated pool (Health Spa Napa Valley), old-timey neighborhood grocery store, movie theater, and wine bars. Plus, one of the biggest treats is just right outside the front door: miles and miles and miles of walkable country paths in open fields, vineyards and parks!

The stunning, single level 2BR/2BA home has been impeccably remodeled, in a clean and Modern architectural style, with soaring ceilings and lots of skylights. The home is Light and Bright throughout, and has an amazing, huge landscaped Garden (with 8 separate Outdoor “Living Rooms” to relax in and a fabulous new Pergola). The entire feeling is reminiscent of country living in the South of France, with a sophisticated twist.

The interiors and exterior are filled with fabulous art, antiques and sculptures that were lovingly collected on travels. The professionally-designed renovation includes top-end interiors and fixtures, including: Stainless Steel appliances, 36” Wolf range, new French Oak wide plank wood floors, Ultra High Ceilings, 2 Fireplaces, Anderson French doors, A/C, large deck,.

The outside living boasts stunning landscape on approx. 1/4 acre, with front and back porches, a brick patio, Arbors and a large Pergola. Relax in the garden, drink wine, read a good book, or have dinner with friends in one of the secret garden rooms or Pergola.....

This is our second time visiting this beautiful home. It is a gorgeous property with a large manicured backyard that offers peace & calm. At night the yard is framed in soft lights which was gorgeous. Also, added since our last visit at the end of the yard, a large gazebo with comfortable seating & tables for another great seating area. The home itself is bright & airy & decorated with Julie’s treasures from her travels. The fireplace in the living room is an added bonus for warmth & ambiance. We loved the ease to walk to local restaurants, Farmstead,Pizzeria Tra Vigne around the corner & then up Main Street to Cook , Market & Ray Ray’s tacos. And of course a few wine tasting rooms. The location is ideal. Julie was quick & so easy to communicate with to answer a question or two. We are already booked for next year & can’t wait to return! Thank you Julie for another wonderful stay in your special home away from home!

Amazing location and great home

We loved our 6 week stay at this home. The location allowed us to walk to all our dinners and the grocery store during our entire trip. The backyard was fantastic and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful weather with all the multiple sitting areas. We really enjoyed going to sunshine grocery and cooking in the kitchen with the professional range. Our host was very gracious and kind and checked in multiple times to ensure everything was going well and we were enjoying our stay. Highly recommend.

St Helena Gem

Adorable home with a wonderful back garden. Host was very responsive and there were no issues. Location can't be beat. Only thing I would suggest would be to have fewer accessories, more drawers and kitchen cabinets available so renters have more space for their items but regardless the place is wonderful! We can't wait to go back!
