“Ideal stay for two fifty something travelers from Australia!!”

Classically beautiful. Peaceful. Carlos.

“Vineyard vibes”

Beautiful location in vineyards. Comfortable room. Very good breakfast made by Carlos!

“Sit back and drink in the view”

The property was amazing absolutely stunning

“Avoid. NOT value for money.”

I’ll start by saying that, just as I did, you’ll probably be able to get a much better stay in Calistoga in another property for a fraction of the price. Despite property descriptions and their website, I did not witness anything luxury about this place, apart from the diner. I was at the property for only a couple of hours but that was more than enough. -Photos are a bit deceiving - everything in real life is a lot smaller, especially the pool and bathrooms. I sat down on the toilet and my knees were bumping against the bathroom door. Pool size was not fit for the amount of guests the property can accommodate and looks twice as big in the photos. -No sound isolation whatsoever. You can hear people sneeze/talk/get changed in the rooms next to yours, no sense of privacy whatsoever. To add to this disaster, each room is operated by a PIN code rather than a key. In our case, rather than showing or handing us the PIN, the host just said the PIN out loud for us to try out from the hallway - the implication being that other people probably heard it and our room was essentially unlocked for everybody. I had more privacy when I lived in student halls at uni than at this ‘’luxury’’ chateau. -I had a query about our reservation where we initially wanted to stay an extra night at the property, however, it was near impossible to get hold of the property - 3 contact numbers, 2 email addresses and Booking messaging system later, we finally received a 1-sentence response via Booking messenger with the property completely misunderstanding our request and providing the wrong advice which completely paralysed our options when it came to our time in Napa valley. Their attempt to remedy the situation was a bottle of wine - which we explained we’re unlikely to be able to accept as we’re due to catch a flight back and our luggage was already full. No other offers or solutions to rectify the poor customer experience.

“Lost in Calistoga”

Peaceful. The view from the private cottage french doors in the morning gave you a feeling that you were not in the states. Chef Carlos was amazing with made to order breakfast outside. .

Lovely, quaint, chateau. Friendly staff.

“we loved it!”

Nelva was the best host ever she made the best experience for us! so charismatic and nice person! we loved her

What a fantastic find. From the minute we arrived we were made most welcome. We had a beautiful, quiet cool room, we had the freedom of the garden and patio area to sit and enjoy a bottle of local wine while staring at the most stunning views. Wonderful place, wonderful staff, book it, you won't be disappointed!

We really enjoyed our stay at Château de Vie. The house has a charm all of its own, the surroundings are beautiful and the breakfast is excellent. However, the website suggests such luxury that we still were slightly disappointed. Our room had neither a chair nor a table and our bathroom was across the corridor where other guests move around. A somewhat unpleasant feeling when you have to get up at night. If we had been aware of this, I don't know whether we would have made a reservation. Yes, it was mentioned in the room description which I checked after we had arrived. The wording, however, was such that I would not have drawn the right conclusions even if I had read it beforehand. More important: The entire website suggests such luxury that it simply didn't occur to us to check whether the room had an en-suite bathroom or not. Incidentally, we never heard anything about the afternoon wine and cheese that was also mentioned on the website. Was it forgotten or is it no longer part of the offer? Château de Vie is such a wonderful place that there is no need to exaggerate on the website. Doing it results in guests feeling a bit “underwhelmed” rather than enthusiastic about a place which still is way above average.

“Amazing place to stay in Calistoga”

The place is just amazing. The rooms are very nice and confortable. Nelva, the hose manager was highly responsive and cocked excellent Breakfast. Location is also great. Few minutes drive from the old faithful geyser and Petrified forest
