The Napa Valley has a longstanding history as one of the leading vacation destinations in the U.S. The rich mix of great wines, outstanding food, and beautiful surroundings are obvious to anyone the least bit familiar with the region. But if you’re on the fence between choosing Napa and any other destination, let’s help make the right call for your next memorable getaway and show you why a stay at a luxury home rental in Napa isn’t like the others.

Why You Should Book a Luxury Home Rental in Napa Valley

1. Privacy with Luxury

A hotel room no matter how luxurious has drawbacks that you don’t encounter with a private homestay. You’re amongst all the other guests and the lines, noises, and inconveniences that come with it. 

You are in smaller confines with strangers and their whims at every turn and the rules and hours and limits of the hotel. Want to make popcorn at midnight? Late night swim, or play music that won’t bother other guests? It’s not too likely with a hotel stay.  A private home rental not only affords you more independence but will generally save you plenty of money when you factor in all the intangibles that you’ll be charged for in a hotel. More freedom, more options and more time to live the way you are used to. A chef ’s kitchen, a private pool,  a gym and parking all to yourself and to make you feel at home!

2. Beauty

Watch a stunning sunset over the rolling hills of Napa Valley from the comfort of your rental house or the symmetry of the countless rows of grapevines flourishing from the valley floor to the peaks of the scattered mountains. 

By car or bike, on foot or even by air from beloved and colorful balloon rides if you choose, the views will dazzle,  360 degrees of grapes! Photo-ops at every turn to capture the unforgettable moments of a unique and special place and the time you spent with friends, family and loved ones.  

3. Entertainment

The ultra-cool Blue Note in Napa is a just one local club known for featuring world-famous jazz artists. If you prefer rock, you can catch a performance at Silo’s, an intimate eatery situated on the bustling Napa riverfront where craft beers, amazing food and of course local wines, are served. Or maybe the legendary Uptown Theater features musical and comedy acts from some of the best talents in the country. The entire valley is festive forward with outdoor concerts year-round, stretching from Calistoga to the town of Napa. Lots of choices and lots of ways to have fun.
