set on a 712-acre ranch, and on the grounds you’ll find not only the brand’s typically lavish rooms, suites, and villas, but also a truly vast spa complex offering a state-of-the-art wellness program.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The estate sits along the Napa River in Carneros, ten minutes by car from downtown Napa.
The rooms
Cottages open onto private terraces with daybeds and fire pits, accompanied by enclosed outdoor showers.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The adults-only spa pool looks out over San Pablo Bay, and private cabanas border the central lavender pool.
The spa
Treatment suites open onto private sun decks facing the vines, with therapies drawing on Biologique Recherche skincare.
Sauna and movement studio
Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the curved cedar sauna, and the movement studio opens its sliding doors to the vineyards.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Bear
Dishes spotlight produce from the on-site culinary garden, served across a vaulted modern barn dining room and terrace.
With denim-and-cowboy-hat-clad bellhops, wildflowers growing everywhere and stone and wooden farmhouses doubling as guest rooms, it feels more like a working ranch…
At the table
Long tables host open-air dinners under string lights beside the olive trees and working culinary garden.
How it began
Judge Edward Stanly established the ranch in 1856, making it an early cornerstone of Napa winemaking.
“Designer Jen Clausen created a modern farmhouse vibe, using leather and oak furnishings and oatmeal and beige hues throughout the rooms.”
