Carneros Resort and Spa

Absolutely incredible! This was our fourth stay here and each time we visit were reminded of why we always choose this place over any other. We can stay wherever we want. We choose Carneros because from the moment you arrive until you drive away you’re treated like the resort belongs to you. All smiles. Everyone acknowledges you. They’ll do anything they can to make you feel like they all came to work that day just for you! Truly amazing! Thanks for always making our visits so special. We’ll be back again next year!

We walked around the facilities, loved the shops, admired their gardens, then decided to stop and eat here, rather than our usual at Boon Fly Cafe. Excellent meal and services. Seating was excellent, good linens all around the establishment. We had Avocado Toast, Belgium Waffles, Crispy Potatoes and Eggs, and Texas Wild Boar Pozole. To drink the Farm Sparkling Mimosa and coffee.
The Avacado Toast was delicious with an over abundance of Avocado and Creme Fraichie and pickled onions, so Good. The potatoes and eggs we small delicious potatoes and egg whites, loved every bite. Then the Pozole, Delicious and spicy but not to hot, the pork ribs four bone ribs with plenty of pork meat, excellent, which fell off the bones. The Belgium waffles were excellent, with a hazel and raspberry chocolate sauce and vanilla Chantilly was exquisite! We will be back!

Our stay was truly incredible. Here are the details:

Arrival- we arrived at the resort with the clothes on our backs, thanks to the airline for losing our bags. We were promptly greeted by Lindsay and other folks in the registration office and handed a welcome glass of wine. (which was much needed) Lindsay was knowledgeable and willing to answer our first-timer questions and immediately made us feel at home. We were given all the details necessary and escorted by Soo to our cottage. Soo walked us through everything and showed us all of the amenities of our home for the week. She noted a couple of things that weren't correct and someone came to fix them immediately, like minutes after she left.

Cottage- our cottage was perfect for what we were there for and that was relaxation, with a side of working remotely. Bedding was clean and comfortable, as well as other present linens. The bathroom floors are geothermal heated, which is a game changer when you never have to step on cold tile! The backyard was definitely our favorite part. The fire pit was lovely at night, as well as the outdoor tub and shower. It felt like a backyard oasis!

Resort- one word: beautiful.walking around the resort was amazing, nothing was too far from our cottage and the weather was fantastic so we were happy to explore. It was also communicated to us that if at anytime we needed a ride we could call and a golf cart would escort us anywhere we needed to go. Our favorite spot was the Hilltop Cafe and pool. The view is incredible and the service at the pool was fantastic. The hot tub and pool are available 24hours. Our experience with concierge was also great. We were able to book amazing dinners and tastings, thanks to the suggestions!

Food- We tried all of the options: Hilltop Cafe, Marketplace, Boon Fly, Farm, and in-cottage dining. As such I think I can say with certainty that the food here is top notch. The veggie omelet from Hilltop was fresh and excellent. Marketplace is grab-n-go format and a great place to grab some snacks. The donuts from Boon Fly were fresh and soooo yummy! Farm is the fine dining option- the service was awesome and the space is so beautiful. We also loved the food, the only downside was the portions.because everything was so delicious.:) Our in-cottage dining arrived hot and as if we were sitting in a restaurant.

Spa- we had massage treatments at the spa that were lovely. The weather was so beautiful that the door to the room was open to the outdoors so I could hear the wind and birds outside. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep!

Bag issue- even though the lost baggage wasn't the resort's problem, they were very keen on making sure that we didn't want for anything else during our stay because of this issue. We were away at dinner when the bags were delivered and they coordinated with the driver to make sure everything was in-hand.

I know this is a long review, but I want to be clear that this is a very special place that I think everyone should have the opportunity to visit. Even though our visit started out a little bumpy due to lost bags, we only have good memories from our vacation and can't wait to visit again!

So popular that a long line of cars forms for driveup window service, but it moves along quickly.

This place never get old, amazing service, spectacular views and delicious food. The accommodations are second to none.

This is always our go to for a weekend away. Love sitting on the patio with a few cocktails and listening to live music. They have a great little general store on property if you would like to take it back to your room. Salami, cheeses and wine? Can’t go wrong.

The cottages are perfect. Great for a little peace. Stocked with everything you need. Including a refrigerated wine dispenser! The heated floors are great when you’re coming in from the outdoor shower. I don’t think I used the inside shower once.

If you’re looking to get away. Choose Carneros!

Didn’t meet my expectations based on the hype. Food was adequate but nothing special. English muffins were so tough and chewy it was serious work to cut them. Hash browns were puckery too salty. Most disappointing was service especially when service people almost equal the diners. Two tables who came in after us were offered menus long before we were. No refills were offered during the whole meal. I was curious about Boon Fly Cafe but we won’t be going back.

We’ve stayed at Carneros probably a dozen times over the decade and it’s always been a favorite. You can’t beat the grounds and charm. However we were very disappointed with the quality now for the price - no updates in 10+ years. The hill top hot tub wouldn’t be acceptable at a Hampton Inn much less a $1500+ a night resort. It’s disgusting. The tile is broken, it’s dirty and rusty, discolored and needs to be replaced. The mattress in our room was very old and had dip and valleys from years of use. Not a comfortable sleep. There were ants and human hairs all over our room, in the shower and the bed. Room was warn with dented, dirty walls and chipped furniture. TVs and room tech is very dated and needs replacement. Maybe acceptable for a $300 hotel but not for Carneros. Service was lovely and food and spa is great but really feels like ownership is squeezing blood from a rock trying to maximize profit without bothering to do needed updates. Sad that a favorite is loosing charm and status that could so easily be addressed with small updates.

Would give 7 stars if I could. Absolutely stunning grounds and the cottages are adorable, well appointed and come with some pretty cool features: Thank you heated bathroom floors! The staff could not be any nicer and you can tell that they truly want you to enjoy your entire experience. The spa is beautiful (we had a couples massage) and it's located right by the adult only pool which has stunning views. Though there aren't yet a lot of plants based options for dining, just ask your server what would would for a vegan and they will make recommendations to you (you MUST have the V Cake at FARM!). Lots of greenery as they grow their own herbs and veggies, fun outdoor games (corn hole, giant chess, bocce) and other activities. Great for couples (cottages), friends staying together (suites) and they even have 3000sq ft+ homes on site to rent. No request is silly and they are all obviously great at what they do!

I did not stay at hotel, but I brought my elderly Aunt to the restaurant on her Bday for lunch.
The food and the service were quite good and they even gave her some Bday donuts! We had the hamburger and the Reuben sandwich.
I took off one star bcuz there was a 45 minute wait for a table and no reservations are available for lunch.

We just had our daughter's wedding at Carnero's and it was excellent! Great service, wonderful food and drink! Couldn't have been a better Napa venue! Highly recommend.

Beautiful cottages with a nice patio, equipped with heat lamps, fireplace and outdoor shower!

My massage with Richard was hands down the best massage I've had. He was able to relax my neck and shoulders so much it self-adjusted.

The property is beautiful and the cave the spa is located in is very comfortable and well finished.

What a beautiful location and resort. Everything is fantastic. Used bikes and had a wonderful time exploring the area. The cabin/ cottage was perfect, enjoyed the rocking chair on the porch. Every detail is covered for a guest. Plant decor on the main entrance building is so creative. Gardens and chicken coop give the guest a feel of being on a farm. Can't wait to return. This resort is fun for the whole family.

FARM at Carneros was really good but AC was not on properly so it was hot even though outside was around 100 degrees.
Rooms were not worth the money at all. Old buildings. Many things kept getting broken.

Love this property. We come back over and over. Rooms are warm and cozy, love the heated bathroom floors. FARM was a great dinner and we enjoyed the grounds playing bocce, seeing all the produce being grown, and gorgeous landscaping.
