Just north of Napa, nestled in California's famous Wine Country is a quiet, romantic getaway called La Residence. Sheltered by heritage oaks and redwoods, this inn offers the intimacy and personal service of a bed and breakfast with the privacy and amenities of a luxury hotel.

Service is discreet, but there when you need it. This "grand dame" is a stunning example of intelligent architecture, good taste, and solid management. Wireless Internet Access throughout makes a seamless blend of old world charm and new age amenities.

The Inn's 25 rooms are divided between three buildings: the "Mansion", a structure in the style of a French barn called Cabernet Hall, and the newly added Cellar House. All stand tall at each end of the property framing the lovely gardens, pool, and spa. The mansion is an excellent example of late 18th-century Revival architecture. It is entirely furnished in period antiques. The generous lodging accommodations are complemented by exquisite armoires, sitting areas, designer fabrics, superb quality linens, and fireplaces. Rooms in Cabernet Hall have similar amenities, with double French doors opening onto balconies and patios; its rooms are furnished in casually elegant French Country. The Cellar House has larger suite-rooms with wet bars, sitting areas, fireplaces, king-sized beds, patios, and spacious baths, all furnished in the gracious French Country decor.

An overnight stay includes a full service breakfast accompanied a seasonal fire in a beautiful dining room with French doors on two sides. A casual wine hour hosted by the innkeepers is served outdoors at sunset or by the fire in cooler weather. Catering is available for meetings and group functions.

For your comfort and convenience, the swimming pool and Jacuzzi spa are at your disposal. A short distance away, you can play a game of tennis or a round of golf. Ask your hosts about the many wineries, art galleries, and antique and other shops in the area. If you want, they can tell you how to arrange hot air balloon rides, hang-gliding, and mud baths.

Hailed by many newspapers, travel magazines, and guides as one of the most romantic places to stay in the Northern California wine country, the luxurious La Residence is the perfect escape offering the best of both worlds -- stylish amenities and yet a casual relaxed atmosphere.

Charming and convenient to all the splendors of the Napa valley, La Residence is simply the best choice for the discriminating traveler

...a magical setting to rekindle your romance, rediscover yourselves and rejuvenate your spirit.
