Floral Wallpaper is the Trade-Off for Prime Napa Valley Location

Where: 6529 Yount St. [map], Yountville, CA, United States, 94599

It's not quite easy for the folks living in NorCal to hop on a plane and head to the south of France but luckily for them, a Napa Valley hotel is attempting to bring a little "Old World charm" to the area.

At the first read of Stacey Finz's review of Maison Fleurie in Yountville, we thought this place was perfect for grandma.

Appointments include floral or toile duvet covers with matching curtains and wallpaper, with a sprinkling of antique furnishings and throw pillows. There's ample lighting for reading in bed.

The common areas have plenty of room for reading, crosswords, and knitting, plus Grammy would enjoy some of the sherry they offer there.

But we perked up when we read that this 13-room inn is a quick walk to the area's best gourmet restaurants like Thomas Keller's Bouchon and French Laundry restaurants, along with Bistro Jeanty. A few blocks down is the Silverado Trail with views of the area's famous vineyards and there's a Dean & Deluca nearby too.

Even better, this inn is one of the few places in the area that doesn't require a two-night minimum. Rooms start range from $130 to $300. There are three separate lodging houses--the Main House, the Bakery Building and the Carriage House--and a garden and swimming pool. Some rooms have small sitting areas overlooking the grounds and all have private baths. But like Grandma's house, Finz says the rooms are a bit "lived in" and the furniture is worn.
