With my parents watching our two kids and a business trip in the area, my wife and I decided to take a weekend getaway to Napa Valley. After choosing the Old World Inn based on high recommendations on the website-we were pleased upon arriving. Immediately, the friendly courteous innkeepers helped us feel right at home. The B&B itself is in extraordinary shape-beautifully appointed, and very clean! The evening sweets and wine and cheese hour made our stay a social experience, as well. The breakfasts are gourmet-more cuisine than just food. All in all our weekend getaway was better than we'd ever imagined-thanks to the Old World Inn!

This was our first stay in a B&B and could not have been happier. The service was wonderful and the Inn was comfortable and cozy! We stayed in one of the smaller rooms but there was absolutely nothing lacking! The bed was cozy, fireplace was beautiful and the bathroom was filled with everything possible! Coming back from a few hours of wine tasting, a great cheese and wine spread was great and the outside area was a perfect place to relax. The Inn smelled liked freshly baked cookies and scones ALL DAY! The location is a plus-we did not get in our car from the time we got back from tasting to when we left the next morning. We were only here for 1 night but will no doubt be back for a longer stay in the future! And will definitely recommend the Inn to family & friends!

I don't drink wine (or any alcoholic beverages), but I always enjoy the Napa Valley for the beautiful weather, great golf courses, fabulous restaurants and unique shops. Believe it or not, I also enjoy visiting wineries and just being a wandering tourist. This was my second stay in a B&B and it was, again, a memorable experience at the Old World Inn. The Chocolat room was terrific, including the home theater set up, the food was excellent and the other guests were warm, friendly and entertaining. The hostess was also very friendly and helped make our stay a lasting memory in the Napa Valley.

My wife and I decided to come here for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We were told about the new cottages when we called to make our reservations. Since they were new they didn't have any pictures on their website. The moment we opened the door to our room we were blown away! The bed had a white sheer canopy which gave it a nice elegance complemented with the fireplace right across from it. We felt like we could've stayed in our room the entire time and felt secluded from the rest of the world. Our favorite part was the in room massages and breakfast in bed. It was the perfect way to relax and to kick start our stay here. The jacuzzi tub was awesome and a nice extra to have. This place was a great find! My wife lived down the street from the Old world inn for two years and never knew it was here. We definitely will be coming back and recommending this place to our family and friends.

We found the Old World Inn online-doing a random search and then searched for it on trip advisor and saw that it got amazing reviews, so we thought we'd check it out. We couldn't have been more impressed when we arrived. Our room was BEAUTIFUL and the bathroom was HUGE! We also loved the classical music and the big TV with DVD player. The breakfasts have been awesome, and we loved the fact that tea/cereal/milk/yummy cookies were always available! The desserts left out at night were amazing also. We thought this Inn was a GREAT value for our money!! We felt well rested, relaxed and happy at the end of our stay. Thank you so much for a great Napa experience!!

We searched online for a Napa B&B to spend the night in after 4 nights of tent camping. Our search turned up many B&B's that looked old-fashioned, with photos of bedrooms reminiscent of a grandmother's guest room (dolls? lace?) - not our idea of romantic. We were so pleased to find the Old World Inn. It had an updated B&B feel with tasteful decor, not overdone but high quality and modern. The bed was divine with crisp sheets and fluffy comforters and pillows. The bathroom had luxurious products and plush towels that were so appreciated after our days in the wilderness. The staff is friendly but not 'in your face.' And the brownies placed out at night - to die for!

Help! I'm being held against my will. I thought we were going to dinner in Houston, but somehow ended up with a bunch of wannabe wine snobs in California. Sometimes birthdays can be hell. This one turned out pretty good though. Sorry I have no idea how the B&B was found, much less how we got here. Walter, age 50 and a day (ugh!)

A good B&B is distinguished by many factors. All of which must work in constant collaboration with the rest. Friendly hospitable hosts; clean and presentable facilities; austere of location; outgoing and social guests; savory breakfasts; and all the other little things that set one B&B apart form all the rest. The Old World Inn has all of these and then some. Everything you want and expect to receive at a B&B is fulfilled here. Joy and Vic are hosts that go above and beyond themselves each and every day. Their knowledge and hospitality are second to none. If you are looking foe a stay in Napa, don't look past the Old World Inn. You will not find a more comfortable bed or more decadent evening desserts.

We had never stayed at a B&B before and I was really picky about what I wanted. So I did a search for a B&B in Napa and after looking at several I found Old Word Inn. They had the king size bed fireplace and jacuzzi all in one room. Most places only offer queen and a lot only had standard tubs and no fireplace. Also I loved the look and ambience of Old World Inn the best. The staff was very helpful and friendly upon booking the room and providing information on local places. I was so impressed when we arrived! The house was gorgeous and our room (Starry Night) took my breath away! Joy was very friendly and informative and showed us everything we might need or want to use. I was extremely impressed with all the "extras" that weren't mentioned on the website (such as French press coffee, DVD library, community fridge). It made everything that much more special! Our room was amazing, the bed was very relaxing. We had our own private outdoor jacuzzi tub, which was very romantic. The house was quiet and it felt like we were the only two people there. And breakfast in the morning was a meal you would expect at a gourmet restaurant! I came looking for a romantic anniversary get away and I got all I dreamed of and more. My only regret is that we stayed only one night! So just think if we're this impressed after 1 evening how happy you'll be with your stay! I hope to make this "our place" to visit year after year!

We loved this wonderful Bed & Breakfast!! We found and booked our stay at the Old World Inn online. We were a little nervous about our selection because we really had no referral or prior knowledge of this establishment. Boy, were we impressed! This cozy Bed & Breakfast is exactly what we were looking for and more. The staff really exceeded our expectations. The great folks that run this fine establishment seem to sincerely love what they do. They have a vast knowledge of the area, wine and how to treat their guests. You get a sense of a real passion for life (and wine) from the moment you enter the house. Their enthusiasm was contagious. Each night at 5:30pm a different local Napa winery representative was at the main house to conduct a wine tasting. This was really special. Not only did we get to taste the wine (and, cheese and olives etc) but we learned so much about the wines and winery. There was an entire hour dedicated to the guests of Old World Inn in their cozy parlor. It was a very intimate setting that allowed the guests to ask questions and feel very comfortable doing so. This was certainly a very unexpected and nice touch. My bride and I really cannot say enough nice things about the Old World Inn. We live on the east coast and can't wait to go back and stay again. We have already recommended this wonderful Bed & Breakfast to some friends and family members. If you are looking for a charming setting to spend a few days in one of the most beautiful spots in the country, do yourself (and loved one) a favor and stay at the Old World Inn.

We found the Old World inn ironically through a travel agent friend. Though the website gives great detail and pictures of the amenities there was one thing that was noticeably absent and would never be adequately represented through a computer screen. The warmth. It's like visiting a friend's house when you walk through the door. The staff welcomes with a smile, there is cold delicious fruit infused water waiting on the table, and of course the infamous cookies temptingly await. Even the guests are friendly and happy to be here - willingly offering suggestions and great places to eat. A little atmosphere, a warm welcome, and a great nights sleep create an incredible, memorable experience and a guaranteed return visit.

Five Stars for Starry Night at Old World Inn! For our first trip staying in Napa, we picked the best place to stay! The hosts gave us such wonderful recommendations for the perfect wineries, we enjoyed sitting outside at a picnic table getting all the personal attention from the representative of the winery. We enjoyed all the wonderful treats at the inn-from the chocolate covered cherries and strawberries to the fantastic breakfasts. The room was so comfortable-the bed was so nice and we looked up through the skylights and watched the twinkling stars. It was magic! Thank you for a wonderful time!

We very much enjoyed our stay-the room was beautiful, the bed comfortable and the food excellent.

I would plan on staying here for future trips and would highly recommend the Inn to others.

We both live busy stressful lives. We hoped our stay here would allow us to relax. After a week in Painter 2 I cannot remember was stress is. Not having to plan breakfast or do dishes makes mornings truly easy (especially when you start each day with a soak in the porcelain tub). The canopy bed and fire place drew us in for hours each day. To ice the cake, we got engaged by the fire. Painter 2 will always hold a special place in our hearts. It will always be "our place"; we know we will return to the magic of the Old World Inn in years to come to destress and share more of life's milestones.

We found Old World Inn through B&B.com. We went directly to the inns website and booked a room - it was a great deal compared to inns in the area and the reviews were great. Plus, where else would we get a movie screen in the room? We arrived midday and despite not being able to go to the room, we were given some great recommendations for wineries to visit. When we came back to the inn we spent some time with other visitors at the wine and cheese tasting from Jessup Cellars. What a treat!! We then went to dinner... when we got back we watched a movie on the big screen! In the morning we had a great breakfast with fresh squeezed oj, egg soufflé, and scones...Yummy!

We recently stayed at Old World Inn, and it was our first B&B experience. We were there for our honeymoon. What a great time we had! The staff (Ryan, Joy, et al) were very helpful, and the food was great. The rooms were also fantastic. We stayed for two nights in Secret Garden, then two more in Bella Tuscany (we both tended to prefer Secret Garden, because it had a very comfortable bed, was a bit more spacious, had a fabulous LCD tv and fireplace, and the spa room was awesome; Tuscany had a few more quirks, but was still nice). The Inn is located in a great location in Napa, and the offseason rate made this a real bargain. We would definitely like to return someday!

Old World Inn was the first bed & breakfast we have stayed at, and it raised the bar towards excellence. We live only a half hour from the inn, but felt like we were miles away in paradise. We experienced joy from the moment we walked in up to the moment we left/ There were many things to stimulate our senses; wonderful fragrances in the soaps and toiletries that were offered, special tastes in the foods and wines that were presented, nice touch from the soft sheets and towels, beautiful sites from the projection TV, to the beautiful colors in the room, and friendly smiles and laughter from the staff.

Tempted to Return My wife Lisa and I like to get away from our day to day routines for 2 day jaunts. Fortunately we live in part of the country that offers a great variety of excellent options for these jaunts. Most are easily reachable via 1-3 hour car trips. We have been known to seek out special deals when selecting where to go. After booking a room at a place we had stayed twice previously, we received an email promo for the Old World Inn a few days later. After comparing we chose to cancel the other and go to the Old World Inn for a second stay. We choose the room they call Secret Garden. We brought along a few DVDs which we enjoyed viewing on the large, wall-mounted flat-screen TV. Another special feature was the hour or so relaxing in the jacuzzi spa tub housed in a room off the main room. All the amenities were high quality. My only wish would be to have the morning coffee offering earlier and stronger - but that's me. Both breakfast were tasty and the conversations with our fellow guests was pleasant, fun and often informative. The first couple we met turned out to live only a few blocks from us! Speaking of food, we had two excellent dinners in downtown Napa. Both within a mile from the inn. The appetizer and wine offering at the inn set up the dinners perfectly. Lisa and I are interested in trying some of the other nearby areas for our future jaunts, but I think there is a good chance we could be tempted to return for a third stay at Old World Inn.

Searching the internet revealed a variety of choices...how do you choose when they all look fabulous? Something in the gauzy canopy over the bed called out to me at the Old World Inn. The affordable mid-week price enabled my sister and I to stay and enjoy my 30th birthday in Napa. With a beautiful and convenient location, we were pleasantly surprised by the inviting atmosphere and wonderful hospitality. After mini cookies and mint infused water, we threw open our door to the "Night In Paris" with it's French-style decor and clawfoot tub. How did we get so lucky to choose the best place? The little things in a B&B win you over: the birthday card they left me on the bed, fluffy robes, wine and cheese, desserts, unlimited coffee/tea, movies for your huge flat screen...the list goes on. Be careful though-if you stay here, you'll have a hard time wanting to leave to actually tour the city!

We had never stayed at a B & B and now any other one will never compare to this! Their website does not do the place justice! It was a cozy place with a wonderful room that we never wanted to leave with a private bathroom! We were blown away by the ambiance of our room (Bella Tuscany): colors, soaking tub, cute bathroom, music, comfortable bath robes ever, huge movie projection screen and great bathroom toiletries. Wow I haven't even mentioned the beautiful Inn because we wanted to stay in our room the entire time!! I loved the all night chocolates that were too good to stop eating and my husband loved the cookies...all which never seemed to disappear. My husband even really enjoyed the infused water which he never drinks!! The place was so charming and the staff very friendly and helpful. We missed our first breakfast but the morning we stayed to eat was tasty! There is not enough room to go on and on about this place!! But I must mention that the movie selection was perfect and the bed oh so comfortable! Anytime we come to Napa we will be back here and look forward to sharing this place with friends and family!!

First of all everything was great. the staff was most friendly and very helpful. when we decided to com to NAPA Valley I checked the internet (not knowing what I would find) andthe name 'Old World Inn' just called my name. I looked at 1 or 2 others but decided to choose you Inn. Although I had worked at a B&B I never had the ocasion to stay at one, here was my chance. this turned out to be a very fine experience meeting all kinds of couples from other states getting a variety of views and suggestions as to where to go an what to try. Our favorites balloon ride lunch on the Wine Traing, favoite restaurants UVA and Mustards was a treat, favoite wineries Frogs Leap and Berringer Ohh Lala!! thank you for your kindness and help before and during our stay it was perfect. We will be back.

A Wonderful Vacation This was our second visit to Old World Inn. We were fortunate enough to stay in Tuscany last year and Paris this year. It was such a wonderful stay because of the fantastic owners and staff. The staff welcomed us with open arms and made us feel as if we were home. From the recommendations of where to eat and the wineries to visit, everything was perfect. We love being in Napa, but we love being at the Old World Inn even more. Thanks to everyone that made our vacation so special.

I researched so many in the area, but was most impressed with your beautiful rooms that included jacuzzi tubs, home theater systems and a spread of delicious food from breakfast to midnight. There was so much to plan. but your staff made all of my arrangements for us for a spa visit, winery appointment, and dinner reservations - I didn't have to worry about planning at all! Our room was beautiful (Starry Night) - to wake up to see birds flying over the trees was quite romantic - not to mention the private out door jacuzzi! We slept so well on your large feather beds and enjoyed sneaking out for desserts to bring back to bed and a movie after a long day of wine tasting. We really haven't ever stayed anywhere as perfect as the Old World Inn and can't wait to come back again!

My fiance and I decided to stay at a B&B for Christmas as our plans to drive to WA fell through because of the weather. After finding the Old World Inn on bedandbreakfast.com and reading the reviews, we were both very excited to stay at a place so highly regarded. We booked the Painter Room #1 for two nights (Christmas Eve and Day of) and feel that we got the best room in the place! The innkeepers were happy to show two other rooms-La Biblioteca and the Walden Cottage-but we feel the Painter Room #1 was the best choice for us. Our room came with everything to make our stay relaxing and comfortable: a king-size featherbed, a huge flat-screen TV (which we watched one of their available DVDs), a gas fireplace, a full kitchen, and a jetted spa bathtub which just fit the two of us. Although the Artist's Retreat was across the street, we always felt welcome to go over to the Inn at any time, especially to mingle with the other guests in the evening when the Inn had cheese, wine, and chocolates! The innkeepers are extremely welcoming and the food is out of this world. Overall, the price was great for what we got and we had a great time staying at the Old World Inn.

This is a very special place for us...The Old World Inn. We have stayed in the Walden Cottage three times. The first time we stayed here was because we finally decided to have our own time together. We usually never leave the kids but finally made the time to do it. Every time we come here, we are very impressed with the staff. Vic was very helpful when the projector didn't work. He left their Christmas Party to come help and did wonders and then we were we able to relax in the cozy bed and watch TV! The breakfast is always yummy as well as the cookies! Next December when we come again, we will come for 2 nights b/c we realize one night is not enough! The Walden Cottage is perfect for us to relax and have our own getaway at the Old World Inn.

Bella Tuscany is a great retreat from the typical hotel rooms we have stayed in the past. It tears you away from everyday life and gives much comfort, relaxation, and warmth from the cute fire place in the corner. I don't have one negative thing to say - it was all above and beyond from the reviews I read online. I highly recommend the place for anyone that wants to experience a unique stay at a bed and breakfast.

We needed somewhere to escape for the weekend to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We found the Old World Inn on bedandbreakfast.com. When me and my husband saw the picture of the La Boheme, one of the amazing rooms at the inn, we knew this was the place for our special weekend. We were immediately greeted by the staff when we arrived and given a tour of the grounds. I even saw other rooms in the inn for our next trip out. Our room was exactly what we were looking for and more that I expected. I immediately melted in the goose feather pillows and soaked in the fresh linen smell of the cotton sheets. The claw foot tub was a plus and definitely needed to help me begin enjoying my very relaxing night. The wine served in the evening with the cheese and crackers gave my taste buds a treat. The staff made reservations at a local Italian Restaurant called Uva. The walk to the restaurant was delightful. We loved all the Victorian style homes and have made plans to retire here someday and watch the weekend folks walk by our home as we sip our glass or pinot grigio on our wrap around porch. The dinner was just what we were looking for. We ended our night with brownies from the dinning room and an action movie on the 80" Dolby digital projector screen. We will never forget this night and will definitely be back again to melt our worries away.

The sheets smelled amazing and the bed was VERY comfortable to the point where I never want to stay in a regular hotel again. The late night dessert treats were definately worth the wait when we strolled in after wine tasting. The comfort of the Inn is something that no other place I have ever stayed has provided for me.

Than as I was reading about the inn I was sold - everything that was said about the inn sounded absoloutely perfect for what we were planning. I emailed the innkeepers - Vic and Joy answqered all my questions excellently. Upon arrival Ryan helped us out with a great place to eat within walking distance. When we came back the room was ready and the first impression just blew us away. It was absolutely beautiful/so romantic/just perfect. The house was decorated for the holidays and was very warm and cozy. The nightly chocolates were to die for and the Jacuzzi totally relaxing. Words cannot describe how great this place is. It will be on our list to return to, tell our friends about and remember the most romantic stay forever.

And these conversations that helped direct us for the day connected us in ways that will endure beyond our time at the inn.

We had coordinated our busy schedules to fit in a little birthday get away...Mid semester for me and abandonment of a busy sole-prop engineering firm for my love. From the innkeepers to our fellow guests to the fire pit, every minute helped complete our rendezvous away from all that usually absorbs our every waking moment. We left reluctantly to resume our real lives - waiting to return another day another birthday or...Just because we can get a room!! The Napa Wine Train is only a 5 minute drive and there are numerous wonderful restaurants nearby as well. We had a marvelous dinner at Angele, on the river. Want a tour of a winery or a private tasting? Vic and staff will arrange it for you and suggest wonderful places to experience, if you can leave your room that is!

This experience was as perfect as we could have hoped for.

Number one was a no brainer, where else can you go for the wonderful cuisine and tasty wines that Napa Valley offers! Number 3 was also easy as I believe we could have been anywhere in the world and enjoyed each others company and memories. But number 2 was a huge decision and the Old World Inn was a perfect choice. The hospitality, peaceful environment, and comfort of being "home" helped make our first anniversary unforgettable! Thank you, we will be back!

We come from a land of hotels and motels and the fast paced life style of the 4th largest city in the USA. We had heard so much about B&Bs from my sister but had always resisted. Finally we decided to try a B&B for a few days in front of a week's stay in Lake Tahoe. To the internet we went and a search on Napa B&Bs found the Old World Inn advertised on the home page of the site we selected. A fairly short drive (for Texans) from Sacramento and we arrived at the Inn. From the moment we entered the front door it's been all about service (great). The breakfasts have been an amazing start to our busy days of shopping and wine tasting. Always a good nights sleep, banter with other guests, wine & cheese and chocolate desserts at night, etc, etc. The only question that has arisen is why we waited so long to try our first B&B. Then again we were lucky enough to try the Old World Inn first. Now we are spoiled beyond belief.

As we sit on the front porch and begin our stay, our minds are transported back in time to the 1800s. Upon entering the house I finds that the dream has become a reality. Or so I think. Instantly we are greeted with a genuinely warm and friendly smile from our hostess and a feeling of coming home. Our steps sound out of place as we walk across the original hard wood floors. Photos of family members long gone stare out at us...wanting us to accept the feeling of all the love and happiness they shared in this room. Entering the secret garden is just that. An unexpected secret garden. Lying on the bed feels like floating on clouds. We close our eyes, relax and enjoy the moment. Are we really floating? WOW! Reluctantly we get up and open a shuttered door. The fantasy begins to take on a whole nother level. A deeper level. We step down into a secluded spring garden. I close me eyes and I can hear the bees buzzing around the dancing flowers, the birds singing their mating songs, and the wind whispering through the trees. We never want to leave this spot. Amazing. Our spa tub becomes our own hidden lagoon. A calming lavendar scent greets us as we sit and take advantage of the secret lagoon just as God intended. This moment will last forever in our memories. Can this "secret garden" get any better? Who knows. Just think...we haven't even experienced our gourmet breakfast or chocolate dessert or in-house wine tasting. I think it is safe to say that this does get better. (it does) So does the fantasy go way beyond reality as we know it? Or is the reality actually the fantasy becoming real? Hhmm.

We actually found the Old World Inn by visiting Napavalley.com. I literally looked at every B&B listed to ensure all options were considered so the best place could be picked for our anniversary. What struck me about the Old World Inn was how familiar with the B&B I felt just by visiting the website. It didn't just give a description of the room, it described the type of experience we would have and backed it up with prior guests comments. The Secret Garden room intrigued me from the start due mostly to the "Secret" spa room, however I was a bit concerned due to the proximity to the dining room. I called to inquire about the room and Ryan, one of the Innkeepers, very patiently and thoroughly described the privacy door to alleviate noise and other details of the room that previous guests had commented about. Any concerns were displaced by feeings of anticipation of our napa trip. Once we got here and saw the room our breath was literally taken away.It was beautiful, unlike what I ever imagined. The photos didn't do it justice at all. The nicest bonus of our entire stay was how professional, helpful and friendly all 3 innkeepers were whether helping with dinner reservations, winery recommendations or even locating and making arrangments for another room for the night when we decided to extend our stay at last minute . I am going to recommend Old World Inn to all of my friends and look forward to planning our next trip here soon!

There are too few occasions to celebrate in life. We go through the years, the days quickly and efficiently, stopping momentarily for a quick event or gathering. It is a very rare occasion to be able to stop completely and enjoy life. The Old World Inn allowed us to do these things: to celebrate friendship and life then stop for awhile and slow down! We ate well, we drank well, and had the pleasure of making new friends. Thanks for those things!

This is our third time staying at the Old World Inn. Each time we visit we have a unique and amazing experience. Each room has its own unique qualities making each stay different from the last. The beds are super comfortable and we always get a good night sleep. Waking up is a treat because breakfast smells delicious. The food is wonderful. The reason we continue to come back is the staff. They greet us with a smile and make us feel right at home. They always have great suggestions on activities, wineries to visit and places to eat. They also go out of their way to make arrangements for any of the above. Every visit feels like we are visiting old friends!

Our first B&B Wow! What an experience to remember! The friendly staff, great restaurant recommendation! Go Fish was awesome! The room was beyond our expectations! Private, quiet, beautifully decorated. The bed was so soft and inviting. We slept like babies. The romantic bath for 2 was amazing & relaxing. The chocolate desserts were the ideal way to finish our evening. We will tell everyone we know about you and can't wait to come back! My favorite things were the canopy bed & fireplace and his favorite things were the bath and big screen tv! For our first B&B we had an unforgetable experience.

My husband and I had a unbelievably amazing stay at the Old World Inn. Neither of us had stayed at a bed and breakfast before and booked our four-night stay online. The price was very reasonable AND all of the extras included (wine tasting, appetizers & desserts) made the decision easy for us. We arrived to a great tour of the establishment and a complimentary bottle of wine in our room. The first morning we woke up to delicious smells from breakfast. We were amazed at the quality of food served to us and loved getting to know the other guests at the B&B. Directions to several wineries were provided for us by the friendly staff, as well as reservations for lunches and dinners. The room was the perfect size, the water was always hot for long showers and the bed was beyond comfortable. I will DEFINITELY recommend the Old World Inn to everyone I know. My husband and I had the best honeymoon anyone could ask for.

While exploring an unique experience, my husband and I decided that we would try a B&B for the first time although we do much traveling. WE thought a switch from hotel stays would be the ideal change. Since we were going to Napa, my husband found on line 4 B&Bs in the area and this one (Old World Inn) stood out from all the rest. We liked the display of the room selections, the date was open, the price was right and we went for it. We were not disappointed. The house was awesome and my husband said it was like going back to Grandma's house. Our room was so special. The bed slept well and the chamber room (bath) was so unique. We loved our stay.

While in search of the perfect Honeymoon the beautiful Napa Valley came calling. With my new bride enchanted with everything Italian, no ordinary hotel or location would suffice. The search seemd endless. The many ordinary B&B's made promises that I knew they could not possibly deliver. Then, in a moment of chance, I crossed paths with the Old World Inn. Italy, here we come. The Bella Tuscany is calling. Everything about our stay was magical. The room was immaculate, with a genuine feel of an Italian cottage. The staff and service exceptional, catering to our every need or request. From us celebrating our marriage, to the couple celebrating their 50th Anniversary, our memories will always be treasured. We have not even left yet, but we know we will soon be back. Thanks to all at the Old World Inn for a truly unforgettable experience.

Adding to the architectural and decorative charm of the inn was the graciousness, expertise, warmth, and genuineness of the innkeepers!

My husband and I chose Old World Inn for our Napa stay to celebrate our 10th anniversary. After surfing the web for the perfect bed and breakfast we settled on Old World Inn because of it's ideal location right in downtown Napa - close to restaurants, wineries, and quaint shops and the Victorian look of the home. Upon our arrival to the inn we noticed the warm friendly welcome from the staff and the feeling of a comfortable, relaxed place to stay. Our room, the Starry Night room, featured a king bed, private jacuzzi tub right outside our room, and a big screen TV. The bed was so comfortable and warm it was tempting to sleep in late each day. 9:00 home baked breakfasts wafted through the house urging us to get up and start our day though. We met many lovely couples and enjoyed conversations over breakfasts, wine and cheese, and yummy chocolate desserts. The Old World inn exceeded our expectations and was a memorable place to rejuvenate our love away from the hustle and bustle of work, kids, and home.

Not only was this our first time to the Old World Inn, but this was our first experience at a bed and breakfast so we had no idea what to expect. It was my husband and I's 10th wedding anniversary and we wanted to get away but nothing to far from home (we live near Sacramento). I started my on-line search. The rooms displayed for the Old World Inn site immediately caught my attention. After being able to book a room (Starry Night) in less than two weeks noticed I was impressed. The decor of the house when we entered was amazing; nothing like we've ever seen before; a great escape from the day to day big city life. The skylights in the ceiling of the room, the electric stove, plasma tv, jacuzzi tub, and feather bed were just some of the highlights of our trip. This was just what we needed and we'll never forget our special anniversary.

Old World Inn came highly recommended by some friends of ours who have stayed with you before. We love the backyard patio area and the front porch. These two areas really tied the inn together and made it very romantic and comforting. Back home we don't have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of such distinct rest spots which we took full advance of when at the Old World Inn. The inn is very cozy with all the comforts, smell, tastes, and amenities of a loving home. We enjoyed the trusting accessibility to the inn's collection of movies, refreshments, suggestion flyers and binders, and internet printer table. The soothing bubble bath in the evening was a fabulous cap to delicious dinner we had at a nearby restaurant. The beautiful navy blue fireplace kept us toasty and gave a wonderful accent to our Chocolat hideaway. Chocolate covered cherries and white wine was a great way to end the evening with a sweet note. Thank you for a memorable and simply lovely B & B stay.

In searching for a comfortable, romantic getaway in Napa, I found the Old World Inn amongst a list of Bed and Breakfasts on the internet. Upon sorting through the pictures of the highest rated B & B's, I narrowed my choice to 3. On calling these three B&B's, to confirm price and availabilty, it was speaking with Joy on the phone and her personality and enthusiasm convinced me that the Old World Inn was where I wanted to stay. After a long and grueling day of wine tasting, my boyfriend and I arrived at the Inn and was greeted warmly and given a tour of the house. We settled into the Starry Night room on the most amazingly comfortable bed and watched a movie on the flat screen TV. After the movie, we opened a nice bottle of wine and retired to the outside private jacuzzi to enjoy the clear, cool night air and moonlit sky. After a wonderful nights sleep, we awoke to the smell of coffee and friendly chatter at the breakfast table. A relaxing and gourmet breakfast, fresh oj and Bing Crosby background music, we regrettably had to say goodbye. Off we went, list in hand with recommended sites to see, with wonderful memories of our romantic stay at the Old World Inn!

WE LOVED OLD WORLD INN! Thanks to American Express Platinum Travel Service! They introduced us to your wonderful inn! The staff was warm and friendly, the room lovely and inviting. Very romantic and comfortable! The fireplace in the living room was so warm and the living room was a great way to meet new people from all over. We selected the Secret Garden room for the special tub, were surprised it wasn't big enough for two-but we tried! :) The breakfasts were outstanding-delicious and the portions were large. Homemade marshmallows, yummy brownies and great snacks made us feel at home. We appreciated the winery suggestions and appreciated the tasting coupons. We visited 12 wineries in 2 days. We stayed for 2 nights and slept so well! The beds were comfortable, the tiny fireplace heater kept us very warm. We would recommend the Old World Inn to everyone, and plan to visit again soon. I'm calling AmEx as soon as we get home to thank them for the great suggestion!

I recently vowed that I was going to focus more on learning to take the curve balls life throws my way in stride. I had been feeling particularly stressed out at work and very unappreciated for the long hours I put in. I was also very nervous about some questionable medical test results that were going to require more follow-up tests. I realized that life is meant to be enjoyed in the here and now moments, not to store up and wait to enjoy at some future unknown time. I wanted to take immediate action to put my new philosophy of enjoying life in the moment and taking things in stride. I realized a restful get away with my husband would be a spontaneous surprise and much needed stress reducer. I remember seeing the Old World Inn website previously and went there again on Friday. I saw one of my favoritely decorated rooms was avaialble on Sunday and with full support of my husband we booked it. Incredible! We ate cookies, drank tea, sipped wine, met great people over cheese and crackers, lounged in our huge bed, enjoyed dessert for hours and the tub, watched TV, slept great, awoke early to drink coffee and watched a movie in bed and then showered and had a wonderful breakfast. Here's to a new me and great 24 hours!

The selection of Chocolat gave us a great room, front of house, large bed and great screen at the foot of the bed. Having a few things booked we thought we were set. Ryan and Victor listened to us and made even better recommendations. We wanted quite wineries - they made it happen. Breakfast was a delight as we met so many friendly and amusing people.

We were offered tips and reservations were made for us. The very accommodating staff went the extra mile. Just the right amount of interaction made us very comfortable. At 5:30 we were treated to a small spread of cheese and dried fruit and a private tasting by Judd's Hill Winery. Chilled wine and real glasses in our room was very thoughtful. Our Night in Paris was charming and felt like we were on a true vacation far from home. At 7 pm chocolate goodies and topping off the evening a caraf of wine was available to abide by the cozy outdoor fire pit. The morning fresh brewed coffee and ready to steep french press called us. The breakfast was excellent and filling. A true treat to experience again and share with friends.

The B & B Experience - To 'B' or Not to 'B' Definitely to 'B' at the Old World Inn! Our family decided to stop giving christmas gifts and birthday gifts to each other a few years ago and in exchange opened a savings account and made deposits on every occassion. It became known as the 'Birthday fund'! We decided to put our fund to good use upon our mother-in law's 60th birthday(which was this August). We just had to decide on a destination-Napa. The next step was to research the best possible place to rest ourselves during our tour of Napa. We searched and kept coming back to the Old World Inn. In comparison with several other B&B's available ,Old World Inn always shined. Due to a great website, personable friendly staff, which whom I spoke with on several occassions, it became quite clear that picking the Old World Inn was the best choice. Our trip has come and gone and it was truly special in everyway!It was so pleasant to wake up in such a beautiful and cozy environment as well as to return from a day of wine tasting only to go to bed in complete comfort with a belly fullof delicious treats from their very qualified and capable chef.

What a Stay! My husband and I were looking for the perfect location to celebrate our honeymoon. Our criteria was demanding as we wanted a memorable stay, something close enough, yet distant enough from the beaten trek to the vineyards, and it had to fit our newlywed budget fresh from paying for a wedding. We came across Old World Inn after days of searching on the 'net, and not have been happier. The variety of themed rooms, scaled prices, location and amenities won us over. The staff offered superior service. The daily gourmet breakfast whipped up by a private chef was superb. Nightly, there were wine tastings for the guests courtesy of local vineyards. The location, cleanliness and attentiveness made our first vacation together extra special. We'd made a pact not to visit the same place twice during our lifetime together, but we already know our O.W.N. will make us eat our words.

We found the Old World Inn on the internet. One feature of many other wonderful ones inside the room really striked us (to be precise me) is the 80" screen and projector. I am a movie fanatic and always dream of having a home theater. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I entered the room and played around with the system (while my wife was busy looking at the linens and decorations). We brought along a couple favorite DVD to take full advantage of the system. To our delightful surprise, this thoughtful preparation was not necessary. The Old World Inn has a DVD collection of about 200 titles (roughly). You probably have to stay there a month to finish them all (not to mention you have to skip all the wine tours). Lying in the super comfortable bed and watching great movies on a 80" screen was a fantastic way to conclude a memorable day of wine tasting. Many thanks to the Old World Inn. My wife might let me buy my own projector as long as I can buy a new bed as comfy as yours!

Our room, La Biblioteca, was warmly decorated and had that instant feel of comfort and coziness. It had all the modern amenities that one would want such as, a projection screen, surround sound and a wide selection of DVD's to choose from. Complimentary wine was also in our room to greet us. Decadent chocolates appeared every evening in the dining room,a little touch of sweetness. Mornings we would wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee, then head downstairs to the warm and welcoming dining room and sit down to a delicious gourmet breakfast. Our last day there, Diane, the chef, even prepared our breakfast to go since we had an early flight. Our 25th anniversary was truly unforgettable, thanks to the Old World Inn and its entire staff.

Our stay in Napa was simply perfect thanks to our decision to book the Old World Inn B&B. At first we were concerned that our wonderful room would not be private enough, being so close to the dining room. But the Secret Garden room proved to be a lovely hide-away. We loved the sunken spa on our little private porch room. So relaxing, it melted away any left over stress from travel. The bed was so comfortable we slept very well. Your location is ideal for walking to and from local restaurants after a long day of wine tastings. The staff made excellent suggestions. We especially enjoyed our Del Dotto cave tour, and dinners at ZuZu and Celadon. Congratulations to your chef. The breakfasts were special, and the chocolate treats were divine. You attract guests from all over the country, and we enjoyed the friendly chatter at breakfast and in the afternoon wine tastings. Other nice touches - the French press coffee and the big screen TVs. Thanks for such a romantic atmosphere - we felt very pampered here and look forward to our next visit to the Old World Inn!

I decided to surprise my husband for our sixth year anniversary. We did a wine blending workshop at COPIA on Friday, wine boot camp on Saturday, and then a winery outing on Sunday. It was a fun filled wine weekend, which we enjoyed immensely. Old World Inn served as our base. We were able to walk to dinner Friday night and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast Sunday before heading out to the wineries. The staff was extremely helpful in suggesting restaurants and wineries. The food here was great as well. All in all a very memorable weekend to celebrate our anniversary

Being from Massachusetts, we have been to many great B&Bs throughout New England and we have found that the Old World Inn in Napa Valley matches and exceeds many of those. Every person working there were extremely friendly and very helpful. Very knowledgeable about all aspects of Napa and Sonoma areas. Every food and winery recommendation were exactly as described. We look forward to a return trip, hopefully in the near future. We appreciate everything. Only sad we are leaving today. We will miss those fantastic breakfasts. See you soon.

We came to Napa with little expectations except to have a wonderful and relaxing vacation. Joy was the first to exceed our expectations before our arrival calling us to make sure what we needed. Upon arrival we were greeted by your wonderful staff who showed us around. We were hooked already. Wine tastings and help to find places to visit and places to eat made this a spectacular visit. Unfortunately with the time we spent at Old World Inn it makes it difficult to leave. We can't wait to come back. You guys are fantastic and the trip was unbelievable and unforgettable.

When looking online for the perfect place to kick off our honeymoon, the Old World Inn stood out from the crowd. The variety of quality rooms, value, location, and ease of booking were wonderful. Upon arrival we were thrilled to find the physical charm of the place surpassed only by the charming staff and guest. This is a B&B with a special sense of community and friendship, where guest are given the space to have a romantic getaway while also meeting a friend or two along the way. The staff, the food, and the spirit of the Old World Inn are special and not to be missed.

We were recently married and decided instead of taking one long honeymoon to take several shorter honeymoon trips. We have gone to Costa Rica, Paris, and London prior to coming to Napa. The environment at Old World Inn has been the most serene and romantic. The Inn is amazing, the cool breeze from our balcony-ette, the fluffy bed, the delicious brownies and cookies, and the superb breakfasts. The staff was instrumental in helping us pick excursions to enhance our romantic getaway. Such excursions included an amazing balloon ride above the Valley, picnic locations, wineries, and delicious dinner locations. Out of all of our honeymoon trips this year, Old World Inn and Napa Valley was the place that encourages romance and quality time the most. We look forward to our future and including Old World Inn into our celebrations.

A stay in a B&B cannot be anymore pleasant than a recent stay at the Old World Inn in Napa, CA. Upon arrival the door was iterally opened for us and the pampering began. Every recommendation from restaurants to vineyards were thoughtfully shared and consistently on the mark. It will be hard to find a more cheerful and helpful staff any where - every wish was granted. To stay anywhere else in Napa would represent a missed opportunity to embrace the essence of Old World pampering.

We found Old World Inn through an Oprah recommendation. We thought the outside and lobby were so cute when we arrived. Kim was very helpful and helped us to join the wine tasting that was already going on. The house and food are like an old comfortable friend - we loved them! The breakfasts were definitely something to look forward to. Joy was so knowledgeable about wineries we would enjoy and helped immensely. We really enjoyed many things about the rooms - the comfy, plush bed, the cozy ambiance, the entertainment theater, the bath tub, and all the little cute extras. We would to return here and would definitely recommend Old World Inn to our dearest friends. As an added bonus we met a lovely couple while here and plan to keep in touch.

Our Honey Moon While looking online for a place to stay in Napa we consistently stumbled across numerous excellent reviews of Old World Inn. We were not disappointed. Everything was awesome. We basically let them plan our stay here, and we were very pleased with everything. The wineries and restaurants they recommended were superb. If there was an option to mark service above outstanding, we would do so without a moment's hesitation. Our room was like a little piece of heaven that included a claw foot bath, a 10 million inch TV (okay we are slightly exaggertaing, but it is impressive), a 2 person jacuzzi, a soft warm king size bed, a fire place, and surround sound stereo. Did I mention the jacuzzi? Lets talk about food. There were cookies everywhere, and excursions to the main room for fudge at night. Chocolate cake and brownies became a regular midnight snack. French press coffee was awaiting for you, or there was loose leaf tea if you so choose. We'd definitely come back sooner rather han later. Certainly recommending this place to friends and family who are looking for a very hospitable and comfortable weekend away.

We live in such a busy world. Being self-employed is not always the best because it's a 24/7 job but when I booked this romantic get away for my husband and I it was as if time stood still for us. We took the time to say hello again to each other. We felt so close and so comfortable in this Walden Cottage. The romance was like yesterday, we are high school sweethearts, married for 37 years. This may sound corny but our love is a very strong bond between us. We talked to each other without the interruption of business calls, enjoyed breakfast in bed, the jacuzzi, massage...We enjoyed it all. At the end of the evening hugging one another, we are so appreciative for what we have and enjoying our true love for each other in wonderful Napa it felt for us as if, 'Time Stands Still'. We felt so welcome and a part of this lovely cottage. We look forward to our next get away. Thank-you Old World Inn for this special memory you gave us.

My daughter (27-years-old) and I loved our recent stay at Old World Inn. Everything from our incredible massages (by Carol and Jeanie in our private cottage)to watching a movie in bed (with our own in-bed home theater)was a memorable experience. The hospitality was gracious, the food was exceptional, the location is excellent, and we loved all the special extras the inn provides. If we are ever in the Napa area again, we would love to return to this charming inn.

We looked online for months and came across the Old World Inn from the web reviews of Napa. It was such a cute place - all lights were on and outside lights (Christmas strands) just glowed. Kim greeted us at the front (even though we walked in the back way after parking), and she showed us our room. We chose the Secret Garden because it was on the main level and had a Jacuzzi tub (we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary). It was a great room - we loved the fact we could check out DVD movies to watch on our projection screen. The bed was very comfortable - breakfast awesome, and after all the wine tasting the snacks were very welcoming.

It was time to plan our 1st year anniversary vacation and thought Napa would be a good choice. With many choices for lodging it was difficult to narrow it down. We thought we would stay at a four star hotel but then reconsidered after finding the Old World Inn website. The rooms were enticing so I called the number on the website. We were told to "call the Innkeeper to get a feel for the B & B that is how you can tell if it is the right place for you." Well, we immediately liked the kind woman on the other end of the phone. She was caring, knowledgeable, and we knew this was the place for us. Months later when we arrived in Napa we met the woman on the phone - she was the smiling face who showed us the beautiful grounds of the Old World Inn and lead us to our gorgeous room. All of our expectations were exceeded. The room was elegant, yet cozy, the bed was beyond Heaven! the food was exceptional and the other guests were so much fun to meet. We had the time of our life and look forward to returning on our future anniversaries - This was our first B & B experience - but will not be our last.

I didn't know what to expect when I booked at Old World Inn, I had never stayed at a B&B, but we had such a great time at this inn and will definitely stay again next time we are in Napa! The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable about the vineyards and have great recommendations on restaurants and other things to do & see. Our room (La Boheme) was nicely furnished, the bed was very comfortable and I loved the claw tub! The breakfasts were first-class and very delicious and the home made desserts at night were wonderful! They had a wine reception every evening with someone coming from local vineyards to promote their wine. The porch or patio are great to relax and enjoy your bottle of wine. I highly recommend this beautiful B&B!
