Suite, 1 Bedroom (Vineyard and Palisades)

As the name says, the suite faces the working vineyard and the Palisades mountains. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the view. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley is built within a 4.7-acre, organically hand-farmed Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in the Calistoga AVA, so the vines are part of the setting rather than a distant backdrop.

The suite has 1 King Bed in a separate bedroom and sleeps 3 guests. The bed has a pillowtop mattress, Egyptian cotton sheets, a down comforter and hypo-allergenic bedding. A free crib is available for little ones. Connecting rooms are also available if your group needs more space.

Yes, the suite has a private balcony or patio facing the vineyard. It suits a coffee from the in-room espresso maker in the morning light, or a quiet evening after a day of tastings. Calistoga summers run hot, so the suite's air conditioning is a welcome retreat in the afternoon.

The suite has a private bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower, so you can soak or rinse off quickly. It is stocked with designer toiletries and towels.

It works for both. Couples get a separate bedroom, a fireplace and a vineyard view. Families get room for a third guest and a free crib. The resort runs the complimentary Kids For All Seasons program and has a family-friendly pool with shallow splashing areas. The Adult Pool (ages 16 and up) and the main spa treatment areas are reserved for adults. The resort is also pet-friendly, though weight limits can vary, so check with the property before you bring a dog.

In the suite you have a 55-inch smart TV with Netflix, an iPad, an iPod dock, an espresso maker, a minibar, 24-hour room service, free Wi-Fi, a safe, turndown service and daily housekeeping. The nightly resort fee covers pool access, the fitness center, yoga and fitness classes, the kids' club and spa access. The exact fee varies by date, so check the current amount when you book.

Dining is on site. TRUSS Restaurant + Bar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with vineyard views. Campo Poolside serves Cal-Mexican fare between the two pools. Auro, Calistoga's only Michelin-starred restaurant, serves a seven-course tasting menu Wednesday to Saturday. Downtown Calistoga is within about 0.75 miles, and complimentary resort bikes are available for riding into town along the Silverado Trail.

No. Calistoga has no beaches of its own, and the nearest ocean beaches, such as Bodega Bay, are about 50 miles away, roughly 1 hour 20 minutes by car. The stay is built around the vineyard, the pools and Spa Talisa, with Calistoga's hot-springs heritage close by.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is at noon. The main guest must be at least 18. Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport is the nearest airport. San Francisco International is about 86 miles away. A car is the easiest way to get around the valley. A round-trip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Late April to late October brings dry, warm weather, and September and October add the harvest. May and June are quieter. Calistoga is hotter than the rest of the valley in summer, with July highs above 98°F. November to February is the rainy, quieter season, when the fireplace is a welcome extra.
