Napa Vacation Bungalow in Old Town Napa Walk to Dining/Shops
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Napa
Bill and Paul visited friends in Napa and fell in love with Napa's geographic beauty, world-class restaurants, wineries and its proximity to San Francisco. They searched for many months to find the perfect home. The Napa Vacation Bungalow turned out to be an ideal location balancing privacy with access by foot to downtown Napa shops, spas and restaurants. With so much within walking distance and wine tours available to pick you up from our home, you can enjoy an auto-free vacation!
The Unique Benefits at this House and detached studio
Guests who stay at the Napa Vacation Bungalow have told us that the pictures on the web don't do it justice! They find the home peaceful, relaxing and quiet, with everything possible provided and that they'd come back in a heartbeat.
We've strived to create a special place that isn't fussy or uptight and doesn't feel like a rental but feels like your home might feel. We've created a place that we love to visit when we can and we reasoned that if we really liked it, others would too. And it worked! We are always thrilled when guests arrive at our house and we watch the reaction on their faces as they see the property for the first time. It's always fulfilling and reassuring to know that guests are totally delighted with their selection. That is the start of a memorable vacation!
When we can't be present to greet you, our greeter, Dori Bianco will arrange to meet you when you arrive. She'll get your oriented to the home and all the amenities and start you off in the right direction. A local Napan, she knows how to get you that last-minute reservation to the finest restaurant in town and she'll direct you to the best wineries and secret haunts to make your experience really special.

Owner's Map of Napa
Both Bill and Paul are artists who live in the Bay Area. Bill is a full-time photographer and Paul works at the University of California San Francisco directing research projects. As an alternative to the buzz of the big city, they love the peace and quiet of Napa. Bill loves to cook and both love to sample good wine. In their spare time, they survey the back roads of Northern California on their motorcycles and love to go motorcycle camping. They designed the Napa Vacation Bungalow to be as comfortable and relaxing as possible and figured that if it met their expectations, chances are, it would meet other's. So far, it's been a great success. Almost everyone that visits says the property is much more beautiful than the pictures on the internet led them to believe. Practically everyone seems to fall in love with the peaceful, attractive setting. Seriously -- read our reviews! Bill and Paul are excited to have you stay at this oasis while you visit this amazing area. They welcome everyone. (They're supportive of marriage, for everyone, and families, of all kinds.)
