Historic bed & breakfast at the heart of Napa Valley, family-run since 1929.
Candlelight Inn Napa Valley
From
231.151 €
“Heated pool in a one-acre garden, a 10-minute walk from downtown Napa.”
Candlelight Inn Napa Valley occupies a Victorian house from 1929, transformed into a charming inn with ten rooms. The interiors blend period woodwork, polished parquet floors, second-hand furniture, Liberty fabrics. We appreciate the heated outdoor pool, nestled in a garden planted with century-old oaks and climbing roses. The homemade breakfast is taken on the veranda or in the room, continental formula with local pastries. The welcome remains family-like, without 24h concierge or room service after 10h. From 231 € per night, it is a comfortable base to explore the wine estates without the pomp of the valley's resorts. Honestly, we come here for the calm and the proximity to the cellars, not for the services of a palace.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Candlelight Inn to couples looking for an authentic base to explore Napa Valley without paying the price of the resorts. It is an address for wine lovers who prefer the atmosphere of a guest house to the standardised service of chains. Families find their account thanks to the garden and the pool, but the spirit remains resolutely adult and calm.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building dates from 1929, Californian Victorian architecture with white clapboard façade and bow windows. Preserved interiors: coffered ceilings, stone fireplaces, central staircase in solid oak. The ten rooms have kept their original parquet floors, enhanced with Persian rugs and wrought-iron beds. The scale remains intimate, without lift or endless corridors, more family house than hotel structure.

- Victorian house from 1929 renovated, ten rooms with original parquet floors
- Heated outdoor pool in a one-acre garden, loungers under the oaks
- Homemade breakfast included, served on the veranda or in the room until 10h

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Napa
The Candlelight Inn stands on Easum Drive, residential artery lined with Victorian houses and tree-filled gardens, a ten-minute walk from downtown Napa. The first wine estates (Domaine Carneros, Artesa) are fifteen minutes by car, Yountville and its starred tables twenty. No practical public transport, the car remains essential to radiate through the valley. The neighbourhood is calm, almost silent after sunset, with a few neighbourhood restaurants within walking distance.
