“A
beautiful place”
“My
boyfriend and I spent two fabulous nights in the Old World Inn's
La Boheme’ room, which was even more wonderful than the
pictures on the web site. We snuggled in the fluffiest, most
comfortable bed by our blazing fire, and drank the complimentary
wine waiting for us. Each evening, we made sure to be back at
the inn for a wonderful hors d‘oeuvres spread ...

|
and
we adored the dessert buffet, especially the homemade fudge and
orange liquor-soaked cake with butter cream icing. Breakfast was
exquisitely presented and prepared, yet light enough so that we
had plenty of room for wine tasting in the valley and a day full
of California cuisine.
Complimentary
wine, coffee, teas and spring water were available all day and
night, and we availed ourselves of these as well... while relaxing
at the Inn, we also learned how to play backgammon, played old
'78s on a gramophone, had wonderful conversations with the hosts
and other guests, and just adored our overall experience. I cannot
say enough about the hosts: Wonderful, friendly, warm, incredibly
helpful. There is no doubt we will be back, and soon. Thank you
for a fabulous, celebratory visit! See you soon!”

| Welcome
to the Old World Inn, your home away from home in the romantic
Napa Valley. Prepare to relax and enjoy all the wine country has
to offer, from special VIP wine tastings or special picnics at
select wineries, to horseback rides in the vineyards, hot air
balloon rides, and invigorating spa treatments. Or take a ride
on Napa's world-famous Wine Train, just one mile from our front
door!
As
long time Northern Californians (Sharon is a native, and Russ
is celebrating his 20th year here), we welcome you to our favorite
little corner of the world. Let us help you discover the secrets
of the Napa Valley ~ there is so much here to enjoy, you’ll
want to plan on staying at least a few days!

| Our
Reputation:
One
of Napa’s first Bed and Breakfasts, the Old World Inn is
known for two things: Friendliness, and incredible food. Guests
are treated to a gourmet feast, from freshly-baked chocolate chip
cookies on check-in, to a 5:30 wine and cheese social hour, to
devastating chocolate desserts when they return back to the Inn
in the evening. And each morning begins with the smell of freshly
ground coffee (or teas) and a two-course hot gourmet breakfast.
From
reservations at the perfect restaurant, to maps and complimentary
tastings at many of Napa’s top wineries, we want your stay
in the wine country to be something you’ll talk about for
years to come. Come visit us – and discover why our guests
call us “The Best B&B in Napa!”
Special
VIP Wine Tastings:
We
often feature private tastings and wine education seminars in
our Parlor, hosted by some of Napa’s world-class wineries.
Guests are invited to relax and enjoy the featured wines, while
the winery host explains the winemaking process and answers questions.

About
the House:
Designated
one of Napa's Landmark houses, the Old World Inn was built in
1906 by E. W. Doughty, a master craftsman responsible for some
of the town's most beautiful homes and churches. This house was
special for Doughty: He built it as his private residence—a
home for himself and his family. From the start, the house was
the center of celebration—weddings, holidays, and all kinds
of family get-togethers. Lots of happy people have spent many
happy hours here.
The
entire home feels friendly and relaxed, a testament to the builder’s
sensitivity and skill. Rooms are sunny and inviting, and a perfect
place to rest at the end of a long day. Featherbeds, fireplaces,
individual private baths, and private 2-person Jacuzzi tubs are
just a few of the many features waiting for overnight guests.
