Romantic, Private Jewel - 3 blocks from Downtown St.Helena in the Napa Valley

Enjoy the festivals and special winery events. Napa Valley and St. Helena are Fabulous during all Seasons!!!

NOTE: LOCAL ORDINANCE PROHIBITS SHORT TERM RENTALS…..HAVE A NAPA VALLEY ADVENTURE AND LIVE LIKE A LOCAL!!!!!

Check out all the reviews….It's a perfect location and the house is pretty special!!

Picture the charm of a Provence-lifestyle, combined with the natural beauty of the Napa Valley. This home is a unique Jewel: it combines indoor/outdoor living and takes full advantage of the fabulous Napa Valley Mediterranean climate….. Quiet, private and serene.

The house is in a PERFECT location -- just blocks from the heart of downtown St. Helena and easy walking distance to everything you would want: fabulous restaurants (Charter Oak, Farmstead, Cook, Market, Gotts, Tra Vigne, Model Bakery, and more), wineries (Merryvale Vineyards, Clif Family Winery, Hall, etc.), great spa with heated pool (Health Spa Napa Valley), old-timey neighborhood grocery store, movie theater, and wine bars. Plus, one of the biggest treats is just right outside the front door: miles and miles and miles of walkable country paths in open fields, vineyards and parks!

The stunning, single level 2BR/2BA home has been impeccably remodeled, in a clean and modern architectural style, with soaring ceilings and lots of skylights. The home is Light and Bright throughout, and has an amazing landscaped Garden (with 8 separate Outdoor “Living Rooms” to relax in). The entire feeling is reminiscent of country living in the South of France, with a sophisticated twist.

The interiors are filled with fabulous art, antiques and sculptures that were lovingly collected on travels. The professionally-designed renovation includes top-end interiors and fixtures, including: Stainless Steel appliances, 36” Wolf range, new French Oak wide plank wood floors, Ultra High Ceilings, 2 Fireplaces, Anderson French doors, A/C, large deck,.

The outside living has stunning landscaping on approx. 1/4 acre, with front and back porches, a brick patio, arbors & raised vegetable and flower beds. Relax in the garden, drink wine, read a good book, or have dinner with friends in one of the secret garden rooms.....

Amazing location and great home

We loved our 6 week stay at this home. The location allowed us to walk to all our dinners and the grocery store during our entire trip. The backyard was fantastic and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful weather with all the multiple sitting areas. We really enjoyed going to sunshine grocery and cooking in the kitchen with the professional range. Our host was very gracious and kind and checked in multiple times to ensure everything was going well and we were enjoying our stay. Highly recommend.

St Helena Gem

Adorable home with a wonderful back garden. Host was very responsive and there were no issues. Location can't be beat. Only thing I would suggest would be to have fewer accessories, more drawers and kitchen cabinets available so renters have more space for their items but regardless the place is wonderful! We can't wait to go back!

St Helena Gem

Our 3/12 week stay in January was a perfect blend of beauty comfort & tranquility! The beautifully decorated home with antiques was bright,open & felt like a warm hug. The kitchen was large & functioned well. The bedrooms comfortable with pretty bedding & furniture. The master with lovely views of the expansive & serene backyard with access through french doors was ideal. The living room fireplace felt "old world" & such a warm pretty touch to the home. We absolutely loved walking in the neighborhood, quiet & quaint & close to St Helena shopping, restaurants & wine tasting rooms! Exploring Calistoga's restaurants & wineries a bonus also. We were always so happy to return to our haven here!Thank you Julie for a fabulous stay! We are looking forward to our return next year & appreciate all you did to make us feel so welcome.

Lovely home

We stayed in this property for just over a month. It had all the amenities you could want including full washer & dryer, Wolf range, main bath with separate shower and large tub, comfortable seating areas and large back yard with dining and sitting areas. The entire house and yard were beautifully decorated. The house was also close to the downtown shops and restaurants, to which we often walked. We would totally recommend staying here.

We Couldn't have found a better house!

This house was perfect in every way! We rented for the month of March and were so thrilled to be able to walk to dinner and shopping. It is in the perfect location. The home has everything you need and is VERY comfortable. The best part is the backyard! The owner was so attentive and made herself available if we needed her.

The most beautiful time of the year to be in St Helena was November. Fall colors are simply beautiful. This charming house does not disappoint. It’s warm, inviting and has a great kitchen for cooking. Beautiful backyard with plenty of seating. Safe and quiet neighborhood and walking distance to town, groceries, restaurants, movie theater, and close to all other surrounding towns and vineyards. Highly recommend this house.

Beautiful place- Garden is AMAZING!

This property is a wonderful place to stay in the beautiful town of St Helena. It was walking distance to downtown and centrally located for fabulous wineries. But the best thing about this property is Julie the owner! She is so attentive and helpful. She is concerned about making sure the house is well maintained, she has the gardens professionally serviced once a week and her response time with any question is immediate!

Great place in the Napa Valley -- maybe the best place

What you get is even better than what you see online. Perfect location. Compact one story house but filled with everything you need AND the most amazing backyard ever. The perfect place to hang out, read, nap, sip a glass of wine, have an outdoor meal (multiple tables and seating locations you can choose) or just be. The master bedroom doors also open onto this amazing yard which is an added bonus. The owner Julie is open, accessible kind and responsive. She wants you to have a great stay. if something isn't right she makes it better. Could not recommend more and the best way we can prove that is by saying that we just completed our second extended stay in this beautiful property.

I’ll be back!

Julie’s home is fabulous! Wonderful neighborhood! It’s location is perfect for walking into this friendly town, restaurants, a walk in the vineyards and central to so many beautiful wineries. Just a short drive to Yountville and Calistoga, each town with their own uniqueness. A beautiful drive into Napa if you want to take cooking classes at the CIA Napa. Highly recommended but book your classes early as they fill up quickly! Such a great experience. Quaint movie (cinema!) theater in downtown St. Helena to catch the latest movies. Julie was a tremendous host making sure I was comfortable and had great suggestions on hair & nail salons for my extended stay. The house felt like home and has a well equipped kitchen so I loved cooking for my dinner guests and house guests from home. I hated to leave! Thank you so much, Julie!

Born down the Bayou in Louisiana; lucky to have landed in Napa Valley Paradise!

Why they chose this property

I had been looking and looking and looking for a house in downtown St. Helena, with a huge garden, all-day sunshine and within a few blocks of the downtown area. This house was so charming, with a great design, and extremely well constructed. It was truly "coup de foudre" (love at first sight)!

What makes this property unique

Your wake-up view from the Master Bedroom is amazing; the flowers and landscaped garden rooms are over-the-top fabulous.
The entire property treats the eye and the heart, inside and out.
The furnishings reflect years of our travel and love of art and beauty; it feels so warm and inviting.
Miles and miles of country paths to explore.
