Conveniently located a few minutes north of downtown Calistoga it is a perfect place where to sit back and relax after a day of wine 🍷 tasting and sightseeing. The staff is extremely attentive and very respectful of your privacy. Wake up to an amazing homemade breakfast and a great cup of coffee. The swimming pool is perfect if you were to stay during the warmer months. Go into town pick up some cheese and bread and sit alongside the pool area.

Ownership has recently changed and things seem to be going well. We arrived later in the evening to a note with our key on the table which we initially found out of the ordinary, but also very personalized and relaxed which reflected the rest of our stay. Shortly after we did meet our host Ari who made sure we had found our room and had everything we needed. The carriage house was perfect and had a wonderful view of the vineyard and mountains. read less

Our Concierge, Arie, was wonderful and made us feel immediately welcome and at home. The breakfasts we experienced we lovely and the recommendations for winery tastings and food services were excellent. Where the property is concerned, the only thing better than our comfortable room was the exquisite views of the mountains and the clear night sky full of stars. I highly recommend this property for a visit. It will be the only place I stay should I ever get to come back to Napa! read less

The property itself is perfect - a quaint chateau dropped in the middle of a vineyard with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors (including a pool). Rooms are big enough and provide a great night sleep. Leave your window cracked and in the morning wake up to the cool misty air overlooking the vines. Breakfast is served at your leisure and cooked to perfection. Don't skip a bottle of their own Cabernet in the afternoons - it was actually one of our favorites during our entire trip to Napa! read less

I loved being able to use all of the space inside and outside of the house. It felt like we were in our own special place -not a wedding factory. Autumn and Diana were a dream to work with. They were both extremely responsive and detail oriented. I did all of my wedding planning from NYC where my now husband and I currently live and both Autumn and Diana took care of absolutely everything and executes every detail perfectly. Diana even met me at 7:30 AM on a Saturday when she was supposed to be off because that was the only time I had while in town and I was stressed about going over details. The food was also amazing and all of our guests raved about it. I had the wedding of my dreams and don’t think I could’ve picked a better venue or team. I could never thank them enough for giving us such a perfect day. read less

When you wake up refreshed you are served fresh coffee or tea right outside of your door followed by an amazing breakfast.

We were greater by Nelva, who was our host for our entire stay. We have stayed at other B&B before but never have we had this type of service. She was very attentive and friendly. She gave us lots of good advice of what to see and do in Calistoga. Her dinning advice were excellent choices! We were greated with a delicious meat and cheese plate and glass of wine every afternoon. Every morning we were treated to a delicious breakfast and fresh coffee made by Nelva. Her attention to detail was second to non. The Chateau De Vie was beautiful, with wonderful views of the Napa Valley. The rooms were clean and have beautiful views of the property. Our bathroom was clean but quiet small. I must say, we never really spend much time in our hotels or B&B. This was probably the first time we really took to the time to relax and enjoy our stay. Nella was a huge part of that. She is the best host!! Hope to see her again on our next stay! read less

Peter met us in the darling bed and breakfast house where we did not have to sign in or do any paperwork. He showed us the hot tub and pool in the gorgeous French-style gardens and then to our room. We had a private deck, table and chairs that looked out onto two acres of vineyards, where we could sit and enjoy our wine and cheese plate that was brought to us. Breakfasts are amazing! Felipe created delicious meals each morning that I have never had while staying in a four star hotel. It is one of a kind, peaceful, charming, unique and beautiful place to stay in Calistoga! The state park is up the road for forest hikes with babbling creeks. Lovely! read less Maria I

This is wine country excellence, and whoever assigns star ratings needs to change this to a 4.5 or 5 star accommodation. The rooms are spacious and beds are very comfortable. We made use of the high quality robe each day. The real gem of this place is the couple running it. Their hospitality is second to none and every little need was met. The breakfast is stellar and gourmet. The ambiance is calming and serene. You will not regret any part of your stay. read less

Their wine is also delicious, you can try it at the happy hour they have each evening. Absolutely perfect place to stay, we will be coming back. read less

The hosts were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The view from the back patio overlooks the wine vineyards and the mountains. Sitting outside with a glass of wine in the evenings looking at the view was like a piece of heaven on earth. The breakfasts served outside in the morning belong in a five star restaurant. They were not only beautiful to the eye, they were absolutely delicious. A special treat was coffee left outside your door by 7:00am. I stayed there three nights, and every aspect exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait to go back. read less

You can walk the vines for several acres, which we did every morning in the cool air. My wife even ran through the vineyards each morning. Try their house wine, from the vineyards behind. Worth every penny. read less

The eggs benedict, which were served for breakfast on the second day of our stay, were my favorite food that I ate on our entire trip. This is a beautiful property, with a lot of wonderful amenities, and we would highly recommend the Chateau de Vie to any friends who were looking for a place to stay while visiting Napa Valley. read less

The atmosphere, hospitality, location, and company are all exceptional.

Every detail is perfect - from the food to the local recommendations on where to go and what to do.

Based on how much we enjoyed this experience, we're convinced that anywhere else would be a disappointment. read less

Go ahead and read the countless reviews praising the property, food, wine, and of course the hosts I won’t be able to add anything that hasn’t already been repeated countless times, so, from that perspective, I won’t try. I will simply state that if you’re visiting the Napa Valley (or Sonoma County, for that matter), make sure you stay at Chateau de Vie. Anything else and you will be short changing yourself of what might be the best part of your vacation. My wife and I have probably spent over two months of our lives at Chateau de Vie, usually in the Carriage House. Over time, our vacations to the region have changed from a focus on visiting wineries and doing tastings, to read less

As a first time visitor to Napa, I wanted to do it all and our hosts kindly steered us in the right direction during our stay and made sure we got the best treatments at the few wineries they recommended (3 in a day + dinner is an excellent day and certainly enough touring). We arrived and every detail we had requested was taken care of, they served all our favourites at breakfast (which was a meticulously prepared 2 course meal that rivals any other I have had globally) Our hosts were kind, energetic, and extremely personable. The property is beautiful, quiet, and comes with stunning views. read less

We felt like family and you can truly feel how much they love their business and guests. My only regret is that I scheduled wine tours too early in the morning as that we were rushed during breakfast (not the fault of the owners, as they were super accommodating and offered to serve earlier). So I suggest you don't book your first tastings or events until 11 or after so you have plenty of time to savor the restaurant quality breakfast under a read less

Nice, quiet and secluded. Philip went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. He brings wine and cheese out between 3 and 7, is happy to answer any questions about the are and restaurants. He makes a gormet breakfast every morning that is phenomenal. Could take a walk out in the vineyards. The wine is excellent too, we bought a couple of bottles to bring home. Could not possibly give a higher recommendation, we will be back. read less

This was our first trip to Napa Valley and initially our search had focused on properties around Napa. Little did we know that Memorial Day was also the same weekend as BottleRock (which we ended up going to more on that later) and everything around Napa was totally booked 4 months out. That led us further north, away from what I found to be the commercialized center of wine country to Calistoga. First off, Calistoga itself is a gem. A cute little town surrounded by some superb vineyards and wineries. It's also close enough to Rutherford and St. Helena and the great restaurants there - although the best meals we ended up having were our breakfasts at CDV. Which brings us to the Chateau itself.

I felt like I was family. The breakfast is .well .there are simply no words. The chef makes handmade pastries every morning that are not just the best pastries I have ever eaten, but pretty high on the list of the best food I have ever eaten. The owners are very knowledgeable about the region and can make great recommendations for wineries and restaurants. Stay here! You'll be very happy you did. read less

Breakfast is delicious and usually served at 9, but can be adjusted based on your schedule. No TV or telephone in our room (I suspect in none of them), but there is a telephone, and a TV hidden in the wall, of the common seating area with DishTV and lots of movie options on DVD. Also in the common area are hundreds of books and magazines to browse through. Wifi included. Don't forget swimsuits (as we did) if you want to use the hot tub or small pool in back. Property is next to vineyard and makes for some beautiful walks. Cheese plates and free glass of wine served from 3-7. Very small 3/4 bathroom in our room. Room was small, but read less

This is one of those rare places where you instantly relax upon arrive due to the setting, the feel and the owners genuine hospitality. Throughout our stay we felt that the quality of service was on par with the most expensive hotels in the Napa Valley. The chateau main building has 4 rooms. One of the rooms has a bath across the hall. A 5th room is located in another building and the owners live in a separate building they call "the barn". There is both a lap pool and a hot tub for guests. The main building has a nice living room with comfortable furniture, books and newspapers. It opens onto a spacious deck with plenty of seating under a canopy of shade trees and overlooks the owners five acre vineyard. read less

We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay and get married. We stayed at the carriage house, which opens up to the winery and the view is just breathtaking. It's in a private area and detached from the main house. Inside is clean, modern, and we loved sitting on the deck and just going for walks through the winery at dawn and sundown. We woke up every morning to coffee already left outside our door. Then at 9am we had the most delicious gourmet breakfast made by top chef Philip. There were wine and cheese in the afternoon and you can just sit on the patio and sip on a glass of chateau de vie Cabernet and listen to the sound of fountain in the back area of read less Marjan A

I created an account just to give my review. This has to be the best B&B my wife and I have ever stayed at. Is it the perfect location hidden away from all the crowds so you can relax? Is it the beautiful vineyards right on property that you can walk which provide stunning views? Is it wonderful cooking with produce and herbs grown on site? Is it the passionate innkeepers who make you want for nothing? Is it the wealth of knowledge of where to go, what to see and what to eat? Or is it the ability to get us a table at the perfect restaurant when it was booked solid? The answer of course is yes. To every single one. On my next trip to Napa and Sonoma I will have to do no research on where I stay because they've already made themselves a read less

This place is truly amazing. I need to preface this review by admitting this was my first stay at a B&B ever. Anywhere. So my expectations may not have been grounded much in prior experience. I was expecting a small, rustic, charming, quiet place to sleep, plus a basic morning meal to get us on our way. We got the small, charming, quiet, maybe even rustic elements. It's a very cozy (but well appointed, comfortable) guesthouse with a lovely living room and dining area, a nice warm fireplace, a hot tub, and its own vineyard (the "house" wine is incredibly good, we have 2 bottles heading our way). read less

The guys really go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. The breakfast is out of this world. And an afternoon outside on the deck without a glass of their wine and some snacks is a great way to end a day of tastings and tours. The setting is so relaxing. I started each morning with a cup of coffee and a stroll through their vineyards. We stayed in one of the queen rooms on the 2nd floor and it was comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom wasn't huge but it was sufficient. There are other room options if you want more space. It was perfect for us. We much prefer the north end of Napa Valley and they are very close to Calistoga and great wineries read less

This is a place that cultivates a strong following - those who come, keep coming back.

We were provided with shuttle passes to get anywhere we needed to in Calistoga. The location is great, nestled among many wonderful wineries. There is a nice hot tub and swimming pool where we lounged around one afternoon. And the breakfasts absolutely delicious. I cannot say enough good things about this place, and I honestly can't think of anything I would change. If you get the opportunity to stay here, don't pass it up! read less

The setting is perfect for relaxing (as we did) or for touring wineries, while the room was probably the most comfortable in which we stayed during a tour of California, the coffee outside the room in the morning was a great touch, and the breakfasts - particularly when served in the garden - were perfect. Numerous little but well-thought out touches, such as rather clever window blinds, incredibly comfortable robes, and a welcome basket featuring re-fillable water bottles. The hosts are sufficiently attentive without being overbearing, leaving us free to feel relaxed and at ease. read less

We enjoy travel and stay at B&B’s and hotels in the U.S. as well as abroad. I highly recommend Chateau de Vie as uniquely refreshing from the more touristy accommodations available down-valley. As a couple, we felt it was our finest B&B experience to date.

To begin, I have spent my entire professional career in the hospitality industry, specifically in luxury hospitality so needless to say, my expectations tend to be very high. Like most of you on here, I read the reviews and was truly blown away, even before ever stepping a foot on the property. From the view to the breakfast to the service to the accommodations, this property was setting the bar excessively high from the get go. As our trip approached, the excitement was building but also my concern that there was no way that this place could truly be this good . there was just no way! My fiancé and I read less

Conveniently located a few minutes north of downtown Calistoga it is a perfect place where to sit back and relax after a day of wine tasting and sightseeing. The staff is extremely attentive and very respectful of your privacy. Wake up to an amazing homemade breakfast and a great cup of coffee. The swimming pool is perfect if you were to stay during the warmer months. Go into town pick up some cheese and bread and sit alongside the pool area.What else can I say about this hidden gem? The 5 star review ahould say it all. read less

Absolutely recommend this B&B! Proposed to my GF on NYE and spent the day tasting in Napa to celebrate and ended our day at Chateau De Vie. The host welcomed us and treated us warmly. Before know about the proposal we were upgraded to a room with a better view of Mt St Helena. He recommended an amazing restaurant for dinner. The beds were soft and comfortable and the food was simply delicious. Will absolutely be coming back in the near future. read less

My boyfriend and I spent the evening here while attending an event at one of the local wineries. Everything at CDV is impeccable and the attention to detail is outstanding! We stayed in the carriage house which had beautiful vineyard views and was so private and quiet. It was also lovely and tastefully decorated and included a cozy fireplace. From the moment we arrived the service was outstanding, warm, friendly, and inviting. We were served a yummy wine and cheese welcome snack and breakfast was beyond our expectations. By far one of the nicest bed & breakfast experiences we have had! We can't say enough good things about our experience here!! Perfect for a romantic evening away!! read less

The Chateau is very clean, nicely decorated, and has beautiful views.
The owners, Cathy, and the sweet dog were the most gracious hosts. The breakfast was OUTSTANDING especially the scones! The hospitality felt like we were visiting family. We loved our stay very much! You won't be disappointed if you book here! read less

Breakfast was so good I almost can't even put it into words; I woke up each morning hoping for a repeat of the morning before but they somehow managed to out do themselves with something new each morning. We sat in the hot tub and looked at the stars for 2 nights, and then picked a movie from their extensive collection for our third and sat in bed and cuddled while we watched a movie (we are parents of 3 young children, so this felt sooo luxurious!) The bed was super comfy. We stayed in the very top level room with the private bathroom, and I was worried it would be hot since it is basically a converted attic, but the room is individually cooled and was absolutely perfect. We took a walk one morning through the vineyards behind the chateau which was breathtaking. Their house wine from their own grapes is absolutely delicious. All of the decor and furnishings is thoughtfully placed. And the view...I can't imagine a more breathtaking view for breakfast!! We hope to make it back on a regular basis. read less Jennifer D.

So my husband and I booked our get away to celebrate our anniversary. We loved everything about Chateau de Vie. The owners, the food, the place and of course, their wine!
