Napa has always been synonymous with romance. Vacationing families, however, will be pleasantly surprised to find that the area offers something for everyone. The inclusive nature of several new properties enables parents to experience the romance of Napa while their children revel in the magic and exhilaration of the area.
Accommodations
Solage Calistoga has wonderful amenities for both parents and children. The cottage-style property is contemporary and relaxed, featuring both rooms and open-plan suites. There’s a casual bistro with indoor and outdoor dining, as well as a room service option. The environment onsite is a social one. Kids can play in the family pool complete with water toys, while parents can hit the fitness center or take in a yoga class. And when they want a little R and R, there is an onsite spa that features an array of services, a Mud Bar, and a mineral pool. Teenagers have access to the gorgeous main pool area. The property also has complimentary cruiser bikes, bocce ball court and offers special kids programs and activities over the summer.
The Carneros Inn is another good option for families. “The Inn is incredibly family-friendly,” says Siobhan Dugan, the property’s Leisure Sales Manager. “There are plenty of activities on property and around the valley to make sure the whole family enjoys their stay.” Otto’s Pool, the option for families, is composed of an infinity lap pool, a hot tub, cabanas, a children’s pool, and a snack shack. Complimentary DVDs and games are available for families to use in their downtime. When everyone’s got a little more energy, Siobhan recommends taking the kids to feed the neighboring horses and cows (supplies are provided at reception), taking one of the complimentary bikes on the property out for a spin, or playing a game of croquet or bocce ball.
