    Amazing!!!!!!! I wish I could rate the bed and breakfast more than 5 stars. It was the absolute best stay I've ever had. Complimentary wine at your arrival. Free cookies, brownies, cheese plates, water, hot coco, tea, and espresso all day! Mimosas during breakfast too! The staff were so friendly and caring. I miss them already! The jacuzzi tub in our room was AMAZING. It was the best that we could keep the chimney on and stay warm once leaving the tub. We had robes too! Breakfast every morning was so good. The area is also very nice! 5-7 mins away from downtown... 20-30mins from Calistoga wineries. I miss it here!! I will definitely be back!!! They had a kitty too and I loved watching it run around outside.

    Should haves: * should have taken pics of this beautiful property - the rooms, the grounds, the outside * should have posted a review when I stayed here 7 years ago (would be better than this review) * should have asked if these were the same owners as 7 years ago Current stay: Website says there are snacks and beverages - our experience 7 yrs ago was a nice wine and snack greeting. This time - nothing. When I inquired I was told this is seasonal and maybe on the weekend - but not this one... Expecting to have our bed made and towels changed when we came back in the evening.... Not so. Had to request clean towels and had to make our own bed. That's a lot of money to pay to do my own housekeeping! Ironically - there was an envelope for housekeeping gratuity..... for...? Paying myself? Saving grace - the room is really beautiful. The breakfast this time, as with last time was amazing!!!!

    We picked this place based on the great reviews but were very disappointed. We stayed in one of the first floor rooms with direct access to the pool, which was nice, but it had a strong moldy odor, as well as the bathroom, and the furniture was in pretty bad condition and dirty. The room was big but the bathroom tiny - my boyfriend is 6'4 and could barely move inside the shower, which by the way, was dirty and full of mold. The bathtub in the room was also big, but not all of the jets worked properly, plus if you want bubbles you need to bring them yourself as they were not provided by the inn. Our room had a fireplace that was constantly going on and off - we ended up not using it at all. The pool, which is a nice size, is heated and I was really looking forward to using it, however the temperature wasn't warm enough now that the afternoons are cooler. Breakfast on the first day was just ok, they actually served us half frozen store bought orange juice, but way nicer on the second day. We ended up having to rebook our flight due to a cancelation, so we had to leave the inn super early and missed our third breakfast. In any case, I wouldn't call their food "gourmet". Regarding their customer service, it was ok too. We let Sam know that we were having issues getting tour reservations and all she did was to tell us to call a winery that they work with and let them know we were staying there, but she never offered to help us, nor recommended anything else. The inn is in a nice residential area, but not at all walking distance to anywhere. Overall, we had a good time but paid almost $1,800 for three nights and felt like we could have done way better. We would definitely stay somewhere else next time.

    This inn is beautiful, with several rooms located inside a house that was built around the 1930s. The room we had was spacious, complete with the largest jacuzzi tub I have ever seen, a good sized bathroom, gas fireplace (can use a switch to activate it), elegant furniture, and tv. We also had a small outdoor patio area that we could use for tea or snacks or just to chill or whatever, but it was way too cold for me to enjoy. I had breakfast one of the 3 days I stayed here due to our itinerary packed full of wine and wine tastings. The breakfast was spot on and delicious. First course was a fruit cup of blueberries and strawberries. Second course was a delightful and perfectly textured blueberry scone. Third course was a cheese and spinach frittata, which was absolutely perfect in taste, texture, and seasoning. I loved all the courses, but this the most. The breakfast was not too heavy, and also came with your choice of orange juice, tea, or coffee. So if you go, you must try the breakfast. It was available from 8-9:30. The reasons I have taken away a star is because the website said they offered complimentary wine and cheese. We were looking forward to chillin' in our room and using the jacuzzi with the "free wine and cheese" they offered (hey, I like to get my money's worth), but they said they were out of wine and didn't offer any further explanation. We were there for 3 nights and wine was never placed in the fridge. Also, they had small cheese platters and fruit place on small plastic plates and covered with plastic wrap in the dining room fridge that we could use. These were fun to grab and snack on, but they ran out on the last night of our trip. Plus, they were nice and offered a complimentary plate of brownies and cookies in the living room we could grab and bring back to our room, but they ran out of those by our last night and didn't replace it. We payed A LOT of money to stay here and it would have been nice if they kept up on these small little things we had hoped or enjoyed to use throughout the visit. Lastly, you have to tell them you want your room cleaned. Gone are the days when you leave and come back to a clean room. We just didn't feel like tracking someone down to tell them we wanted our room cleaned. Oh yeah, and you're given an actual key to the front door of your house and room (and not a card or something). I was terrified of losing that key because I had no idea how much they were going to charge if I lost it. Luckily, I never lost the key, whew... All in all, you'll enjoy your stay here and the 3 course breakfast is super delicious, but be aware that the little things that have the potential to make this truly a 5 star experience may or may not be available during your stay.

    My partner and I stayed here for our 7 year anniversary and it's was really beautiful inside. You get a complimentary glass of wine when you enter and the staff was super friendly. Our room had a huge tub with jets and it came with a little bath salts and bubble bath for it as well.

    Such a clean and cozy place! Beautiful grounds with tall Redwoods surrounding us and a River in the backyard. To top it off Service was a 10! We stayed here on Valentines weekend and we will be back!

    I am a major fan of little inns that looks right out of a story book or reminds you of older times. In a world when everyone is looking for modern everything, I for one enjoy the simpler and quaint set ups. The Candlelight Inn was just that. Location : Right next to downtown Napa, the location couldn't get any better. You can carry your food back to your rooms or stay late since the downtown is just a few mins drive. Accommodation : I believe this was a house converted into an inn. The house looks very much like a fairytale cottage with large lawn in the front and a pool at its back. We couldn't take a dip in the pool given that it a very chilly day. But we did sit out in our balcony overlooking the pool with a glass of wine and a plate of cheese which the Inn served as complimentary with the room. We were in the Majestic room that had a jacuzzi in the room. The furnitures were antique and so was the fireplace. Loved the entire ambience in the room. Food : The common fridge near the kitchen always has cheese plates stocked up. There were also a few backed goodies spread that was on display next to it. You are offered a glass of wine as soon as you enter. The Inn only serves breakfast and no other meals. You can bring your food from outside if you'd like. You will have to inform the staff beforehand if you prefer to have your breakfast in the room or out in the dining room, the previous day. The breakfast was a yummy three course meal that leaves you feeling stuffed. Staff : A very lovely old lady helped us with a check-in and she was sweet enough to bump us up to the Majestic Room when she learnt that we were celebrating my husband's birthday. She was cheerful and knew a lot of history about the inn. Value for money : Absolutely! I live for experiencing such offbeat one off places and this Inn was right up my alley. My husband had a Happy birthday thanks to the hospitality of this place!

    Candlelight Inn in Napa was an experience. First time we've stayed at an Inn referred by a co-work (Gigi L.). I was so happy to get a weekend room 2 months out during Harvest season. A bit pricey but we needed a quick weekend getaway. Check in was smooth, innkeeper was attentive. Gave us a tour gave us the run down, showed us our room (we booked the majestic suite) hot tub in room, back door with porch where we can eat the 3 course breakfast in the morning. Nice little neighborhood cat by the pool area. Small individuality rapped charcuterie plates in fridge, ziplock bags of ice and a good pour of wine from the innkeeper whenever you request. Food was nice , and definitely need after the night out in downtown Napa which happened to have some outdoor social distances street party/gathering. Overall time we'll spent! #YaGottaEat2Live

    WOW! WOW! WOW! The hospitality at Candlelight Inn was beyond belief. Maria went out of her way in the weeks leading up to our group trip to help us plan out our itinerary. Maria set up private winery tours, gave us ideas of things to do, suggested restaurants, booked reservations, ordered us a birthday cake, and constantly checked in on us to see how she could enhance our experience. This will always be a memorable trip for all of us. In my opinion, the Candlelight Inn deserves 10 stars! The location was unique in that the B&B is nestled in a neighborhood. It was so quiet and we always felt safe. The grounds were beautiful! Take advantage of the complimentary breakfast because it was delicious. Not to mention the endless homemade snacks and the complimentary wine on arrival. DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK! :)

    The backyard patio and pool

    THE CUTEST EVER -- seriously, such a gem. The staff is very kind and attentive, the property itself is clean and so so beautiful. Very relaxing place to stay, the bed was comfy too! The only *small* criticism I have is the bathroom needed a little bit more sweeping/cleaning, but overall it was an amazing experience. Definitely plan to stay again.

    One of the courses of breakfast. There was more! Quiche was delicious

    I stayed here with my friends for my birthday. It's a beautiful cottage and the vintage traditional decor makes you feel like you have traveled back in time almost. The breakfasts they served was delicious and people were friendly too. The only thing is the poop isn't open but that's understandable because if covid.

    The red streaks running down the toilet
    D T.

    Where to begin! The pictures already posted online must have been from years ago when this place was in their prime. Quaint B&B with lots of potential but failed to meet expectations. They said they have a heated pool, but it was so dirty, I was not willing to touch the water. The flowers inside the house were dead the whole time were there and were not changed. Our room was super dim lighting. Without opening the shades, it was hard to see. The toilet bowl still had streaks of red running down from the bowl...obviously from previous tenant (perhapse enjoying too much wine) but definitely not something I should have seen. There was hardly any room for toiletries. The bathroom could only accommodate one person and you could not get in and out of the shower without hitting the toilet with the red streaks. Sleeping in was not an option as the noise from other guests who wake up early to shower and walk around could be heard. On a positive note, the breakfast was very good.

    Comfortable

They cook your breakfast fresh every morning and you have a choice between their regular menu items or the special of the day. They also have a yogurt and juice bar. They bring out coffee by the carafe. I ordered the avocado toast each morning because I loved it so much. He ordered the specials each morning and no matter what we ordered, it was delicious. They have free parking in the back and it's easy driving distance to downtown Napa and the Valley wineries. I definitely recommend The Inn on First.

It was more than a dream, such a wonderful little B&B. The modern look and design felt as if we were standing right in a pottery barn catalog. We stayed in the Laurel cottage, which I highly HIGHLY recommend! It's still attached to another cottage but was extremely secluded as the property was a little further out away from the main house and main patio area. We even had our own little garden to the side with a table & chairs! The cottage itself was absolutely wonderful. Extremely spacious with a cal king bed, which by the way, was too die for. The sheets were amazingly comfortable and made it tremendously hard to get out of bed in the mornings, but a dream to come back to after a long day of shenanigans. The bathroom floor, get this, has heated floors! The bathtub was incredibly spacious, big enough to fit two people. The fireplace was also a great addition and made our stay wonderfully cozy. Breakfast is served at 8:30 and 9:15! You have to tell them which time you prefer. All food is gluten free and they are very accommodating, always asking if you have any food allergies, etc. The breakfast was delicious and they always have these wonderful treats at the tea/coffee station in the main house. The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming! I highly recommend this place for any couple looking for a sweet romantic getaway. The location is great as it's only about half a mile from downtown, close to a bunch of food eats & wine bars! Make sure to book early as there are only limited rooms/cottages.

We did venture to the main space and it was empty with some tables - it could use a bit more warmth, maybe with some snacks or little touches to make it feel more like home. Breakfast was delivered to our room and it was healthy and delicious. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay! Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful getaway.
