What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
It’s set a minute outside of Healdsburg proper, which, combined with its village-like layout, lends the hotel a resort-like atmosphere.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Healdsburg's downtown plaza sits two miles south, and complimentary bikes make it easy to pedal among neighboring vineyards.
The rooms
Long built-in banquettes stretch across the rooms, and private balconies look out over the pools or surrounding vineyards.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool looks out toward vineyard hills and serves casual drinks and bites from an Airstream trailer.
The spa
Treatments at Terroir Spa begin with sound bowls, and an olive-shaded courtyard patio hosts open-air foot rituals.
The fitness studio
The indoor-outdoor studio opens toward the grounds, fitted with connected Pilates reformers and NordicTrack treadmills.
Restaurant
Folia Bar & Kitchen
Chefs craft pasta from house-milled flour in the open kitchen, flanked by a hooded hearth and terrace tables.
Bar
Andys Beeline Rooftop
The rooftop lounge sits beneath vaulted reclaimed-wood ceilings, pouring craft cocktails with views across surrounding vineyard hills.
At the table
Long communal tables sit beneath mature olive trees in the courtyard for winemaker tastings and open-air dinners.
How it began
Chef Charlie Palmer conceived the property after decades living in Healdsburg, designing it around local growers and communal dining.
