We just returned from a trip that included 4 nights at CDV. We loved this place! All the positive reviews speak volumes, and there's little I can add that hasn't already been said. We LOVED the breakfasts and snacks. Our accomodations were comfortable and made us feel very much at home. Our hosts had thought of everything. They gave outstanding... more

How could we not? After a good night's sleep in an incredibly comfortable bed we arose to find coffee and tea were waiting for us just outside the door, along with the morning NY Times. We grabbed our luscious bathrobes, threw open the french doors to the view of the vineyards and the hills beyond, sat at the foot of... more

We stayed here in early Spetember this year for three nights. It isn't cheap, but if you like peaceful and beautiful surroundings and appreciate excellent service it's worth it. The room was clean and comfortable with a wonderful view of the vineyards and the mountains. The breakfasts are superb, the wines first class and the afternoon cheese plates a revelation.... more

This is by far the best spot to stay in Napa Valley - the location a bit off Calistoga, but right in a working vineyard with vines all around. The rooms elegant and perfectly furnished. The hosts very friendly and helpful, also telling you more about wine estates "off the beaten path". Breakfast was heavenly - and the pool &... more

Really enjoyed this home away from home. Very relaxed feel, with delicious food cooked by Peter. Our favorite thing was to get some hot coffee or tea in the mornings and wander in the vineyards right outside. more

Wake up to the silouttes of grapevines outside your window, enjoy coffee and homemade scones with the New York Times, followed by fabulous breakfast on a terrace so captivating that it simply can not be experienced mindlessly. Peter and Phillip create the most wonderful and relaxed yet elegant retreat at Chateau de Vie. After a two night stay in the... more

Lodging at the Chateau de Vie was a fabulous experience. Phillip and Peter have created a truly peaceful and ambient refuge just outside of Calistoga. Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated and the views from the windows of the surrounding vineyard and mountain backdrop were astounding. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and truly tasty breakfasts make Chateau de... more

We stayed at CDV for one night as we were traveling through Napa and can't say enough about how wonderful it was! Beautiful property, great hot tub with a view of the vineyard and beautiful night sky, fabulous breakfast., robes/slippers, comfy bed, wide array of books to browse, thorough DVD collection, papers in the morning....absolutely fabulous. After breakfast, Phillip sent... more

We've been visiting CDV for at least eight years, and it just gets better each time we return. It's the only place we recommend to friends and acquaintences. It's in a beautiful location with the best view of the Palisades anywhere in Calistoga. The property is exquisite without being froo-froo and you won't find any more congenial hosts. And the... more
