Best Luxury Hotels in Napa
Found north of San Francisco, this Californian idyll is best known for its world-class winemaking. As such, many visit for the wonderful vineyards, temperate climate, beautiful landscapes and superb food. With five major towns and four distinct regions, there’s a fair amount of choice when it comes to where you can stay. Many like to tour the area, while others prefer to base themselves close to either Calistoga, St. Helena, Yountville, Napa, or the American Canyon. In addition to its liquid delights, the valley provides plenty of culture, shopping opportunities, spas, hikes, golf courses and activities for kids.

Carneros Resort and Spa
(5 stars)Housed in a range of what were originally farm structures, Carneros rocks a kind of sustainably-minded agricultural chic. The spa carries this theme, with earthy natural ingredients, as does its lounge-style restaurant, The Farm. An infinity pool provides a wonderful spot to soak in the countryside (it’s adults-only, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet – there’s another pool for families). Choose to stay in one of 86 cottages on-site, all with their own gardens, patios and decks with gas heaters and outdoor showers.
