by Jill Loeffler  •

Wondering where to stay in Napa Valley? Staying in a bed and breakfast is the perfect way to relax and unwind. Many offer modern conveniences, and you will find they are less chaotic than hotels.

From the minute you walk in the door, you will be greeted with a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment. If you're looking for a romantic bed and breakfast in Napa Valley, you'll find excellent options on my list.

Most feature anywhere from two to ten rooms. A few on this list are a little larger, with up to around 30 guest rooms and cottages.

You will find these Napa bed and breakfasts all over the valley, both in the City of Napa and throughout the countryside. Some are just steps from downtown tasting rooms and restaurants, while others are tucked away, offering vineyard views.

No matter what you're looking for, this list will help you find the best B&B in Napa Valley for you.

1. The Inn on First - Deluxe Napa Inn

Address: 1938 First Street, Napa

Room Rates: Range averages from around $276 to $450 a night

One of the best Napa bed and breakfasts is the Inn on First, a newly renovated inn located in the heart of wine country. With ten rooms, it offers a cozy experience with king-sized beds in every room.

All of the rooms are also equipped with a private bath, two-person whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, and free parking. They proudly state that there are no televisions or children, so the atmosphere is even more relaxing.

The room price includes breakfast for two every morning.

I love this Napa Valley inn because they also share their home with three lovely dogs. They are friendly and make the stay even more fun.

If you happen to be traveling with dogs of your own, they also have some space for them at the Inn. Call ahead to discuss it with the owners, and they will do their best to accommodate you.

This Napa bed and breakfast caters to those who want to unplug and enjoy their time in the region.

2. Inn on Randolph

Address: 411 Randolph Street, Napa

Room Rates: Range from around $350 to $550 a night

The Inn on Randolph is one of the most popular Napa Valley bed and breakfast options. The fun and knowledgeable owners offer five rooms in their main house and five cottages.

This historic retreat features modern conveniences, including a private spa, heated bathroom floors, and luxurious beds. Each morning, you will enjoy a world-class fresh meal in their gluten-safe kitchen.

Unlike anywhere else I've seen, much of their toiletries are gluten-free, so if you are gluten sensitive, this may be the best bed and breakfast in Napa for you.

4. The Cottages of Napa Valley

For privacy, The Cottages may be the best bed and breakfast in Napa Valley. The eight restored private cottages in this beautiful retreat are surrounded by Napa's natural beauty.

In this picturesque setting, you can imagine you are the star of your own movie! Believe it or not, Carole Lombard and Clark Gable used to stay at these cottages back in the day.

The smallest of the cottages is 450 square feet, while the largest is over 1,400 square feet. Each offers at least one comfy king-sized bed, a living room area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Other luxuries include a gas fireplace, kitchenette, and breakfast delivered to your room each morning.

After a long day of wine tasting, you can relax in your private bathroom with a deep-soaking tub built for two or next to the fireplace (or both!).
