Bardessono Hotel & Spa

The place

Bardessono Hotel & Spa spreads low across 4.9 acres of Yountville, in the heart of Napa Valley. The 65 guest suites and villas are built from dark wood, black steel, and local stone — sleek custom furniture and curated art photography inside, the material palette doing the talking. Upscale amenities throughout.

On the roof, a sunny pool with plush loungers looks out to the mountains. Below, the revitalizing B Spa, a fitness center, and generous garden spaces. Lucy Restaurant & Bar, helmed by chef Rick Edge, keeps to contemporary Californian cooking, the menu following the freshest seasonal produce from its own farm.
