Carneros Resort and Spa
Napa & Sonoma, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.2/10 Exceptional · guest rating
Luxury resort in the Carneros wine region of Napa, with freestanding cottages, a spa, a pool and a restaurant, one minute by car from several wineries.
Carneros Resort and Spa sits at the southern end of Napa Valley, in a rural setting of vineyards and rolling hills. Rather than a single building, it is laid out as freestanding country-style cottages, some with a fireplace and a porch of their own, which feels more like a private village than a traditional hotel. It is a quiet base for visiting the wineries of Napa and Sonoma.
The resort has a spa, a pool, a fitness center, a restaurant and a bar, plus room service. Nearby you can arrange activities such as hiking, mountain biking, eco-tours and hot air balloon rides over the valley. Each cottage's amenities vary, so confirm with the hotel which category includes a private pool, a fireplace or other details. The pace here is slow, ideal for travelers who prefer to rest among the vines.
