  • Official site lists year-round daily hours 8:00 AM–8:00 PM (weather permitting); some third-party sites list seasonal April–November
  • Pool use limited by the adults-only policy and the inn’s small, relaxed setting

A calm garden pool for relaxing between tastings — check pool hours as sources conflict.

  • Two outdoor pools, pool cabanas (surcharge), poolside bars and accessible pool features
  • On-site vineyard and winery with tasting room and public winery tours

  • No on-site spa or fitness center; concierge arranges nearby spa treatments
  • Close enough to downtown Napa nightlife and music venues for evening plans
  • Limited front-desk hours and a quieter on-site environment

Better for guests who plan off-site spa appointments and quiet evenings.

  • Spa offering massages, body treatments and facials plus a health club
