Premier Villa, 3 Bedrooms, Private Pool (Hot Tub | Vineyard And Mountain)

The villa faces vineyard and Palisades mountain views. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley is built within a working 4.7-acre estate vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Calistoga AVA, so the outlook is of vines and mountains rather than a car park or street. The balcony or patio is the place to enjoy it.

The villa sleeps 8 guests across three bedrooms, with 2 king beds and 2 double beds. Bedding includes pillowtop mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets, a down comforter and hypo-allergenic options. That suits two or three couples, or a family or friends travelling together.

Yes. This category comes with a private pool and hot tub, so you can swim or soak without sharing space with other guests. It is complemented by a balcony or patio for relaxing outdoors.

It is well suited to families. A complimentary crib can be provided, and connecting rooms are available for larger parties. The resort also offers the complimentary Kids For All Seasons program, a Kids Activity Room and a separate family pool with shallow splashing areas. The Adult Pool area is for guests 16 and over, and the primary spa treatment areas are reserved for adults.

The bathroom has a separate bathtub and shower, plush towels and designer toiletries. Turndown service is part of the stay, which helps with a larger group sharing the villa.

Expect air conditioning and heating, a fireplace and a desk for working. Entertainment includes a 55-inch smart TV with premium channels, Netflix and pay movies, plus an iPad and an iPod dock. There is also free Wi‑Fi, a minibar, an espresso maker, a safe, an iron and ironing board, 24-hour room service and daily housekeeping.

On the property you can dine at TRUSS Restaurant + Bar (breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a daily Golden Hour from 3:00 to 6:00 pm), Campo Poolside (casual Cal-Mexican, daily 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, weather permitting) and the Michelin-starred Auro, open Wednesday to Saturday evenings. Reservations are needed, and during harvest season the resort recommends booking 30 to 60 days ahead. Room service runs 24 hours if you would rather stay in the villa.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 noon. The person booking must be at least 18. A nightly resort fee applies, and reports describe it as covering pool, spa, fitness center, yoga classes and children's club access. Its amount and any parking charges vary by date and rate, so the resort can give you current figures when you book.

Calistoga has no beaches. The nearest ocean beaches, such as Bodega Bay, are about 50 miles away, roughly 1 hour 20 minutes by car. Downtown Calistoga is within about 0.75 miles, and complimentary resort bikes are available for riding into town. A car is the best way to see the wider valley. Round-trip airport shuttle service is available for a surcharge.

The best months run from late April through late October, with September and October bringing harvest activity. Calistoga summers are hot, with July highs averaging above 98°F, so a private pool and hot tub are a real advantage. Winter is quieter, cooler and rainier, and the fireplace comes into its own.
