La residence is our new favorite place to stay when visiting Napa. The rooms and grounds are clean and carefully tended, and elegantly idyllic. The pools and fountains give a magical, restful touch. The staff really cares about its guests (they have been running this B&B for 16 years, making improvements over time). It has one of the best breakfasts and cocktail hours of any B&B I have seen, anywhere. Every evening there is a wine tasting and discussion, usually presented by a local winery, with homemade food plates. At 23 rooms it is large enough to be a small inn, and thereby avoids the ""guest in someone else's house"" feeling with some B&Bs. The honor bar with top level local wines is a nice touch. Warning: no TV.
Pros: Great service, Beautiful grounds, Good value
Cons: Close to highway
