The Carneros Inn Napa Valley ... and What I Wore

Jeff and I ended our Napa Valley stay at the renowned luxury hotel

The Carneros Inn.

It is set amongst the gentle rolling hills between Napa and Sonoma.

The Carneros Inn offers casual sophistication

in the famed Carneros region.

For my stay I packed pieces that I could layer  depending on the days fluctuating weather.

I wanted an outfit that would be comfortable and pulled together

no matter the temperatures.

Whenever I go to any wine country

I always remember to wear shoes that are easy to walk in
so I am  able to navigate many a gravel and even dirt paths 

when in the actual vineyards.

I only had to make a wrong shoe  choice once

to remember this tip!

I packed my cream base pieces

of brocade ankle pants from Anthropologie

my slip tunic from Free People

and 

new platform sandals from Target.

It was adding pieces on top that kept me prepared for anything 

during our winery  visist.

My Catherine Robinson Cashmere  wrap

always makes for a perfect traveling piece.

My shearling vest

layered wonderfully over my leather moto jacket

and

my macrame bag added just a touch of boho trend.

The staff at The Carneros Inn is top notch

all the way around.

We arrived early and were more than pleasantly surprised that our room

was already waiting  for us!

We checked in seated at a desk

and 

were immediately offered our choice

of their red or white wines.

We were then driven to our room! via their golf cart shuttles!

The Carneros Inn is definitely my new favorite

for the Napa Valley.

Although it's quite pricey

choosing to stay on a Sunday night

rather than a Friday or Saturday

drops the price by over 40 percent.

All in all for me

the stunning property

and 

amentities 

like these  complimentary bikes

made it worth the price.

So much so

I am hoping to return in September for our anniversary!

The property is meticulously maintained and designed.

The hilltop pool with it's vast views took my breathe away!

Cocktails in the heated spa

were a perfect way to watch the sun settle into the hillsides.

For me the biggest surprise was our private cottage!

I had seen pictures of these online

and

 hadn't even realized that's what all of the room were!

This was our adorable cottage!

Complete with a porch and two white rockers!

It was the lush and stylish landscaping

that got this gardeners heart racing!

All of the cottages look out to a common grassy area

with fruit trees lining the view.

We got a basic room

which was about 400  feet of indoor space

so the room itself was tight

but the bathroom was luxuriously spaced

with heated floors.

Our bed looked out onto my very favorite part of our cottage!

A private outdoor living space!

Complete with gardens

table and chairs and …

a wooden deck with two loungers

a table

and
 outdoor heaters above!

Each outdoor space even comes with an outdoor shower as well!

When the sky cleared in the afternoon 

this made for a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine

and 

take in beauty of this fabulous space!

Walking anywhere on the property is a joyful experience

with beautiful views of the rural countryside. 

The upscale general store has everything you could ever need 

to pack a memorable picnic.

There are three restaurants on the property as well.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Farm.

With plenty of spaces to enjoy afterwards.

Writing this post has me dreaming of a return trip to this gorgeous luxury hotel

where you can feel like you are so far away

but wrapped in luxurious comforts of home as well
and even have an opportunity to watch the moon rise into the sky!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
