Old World Inn in Napa Valley California - Romantic Accommodations with fireplaces, spa tub, full country breakfast
About Us: Welcome • Breakfast • Hors d’oeuvres & Desserts

“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!”

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.

Evening Chocolate Desserts:

Return from dinner to find a selection of devastating chocolate desserts laid out for you in our dining room:

Chocolate Amaretto Torte
Chocolate-covered Espresso Beans
Feather-light Chocolate meringues dusted with cocoa
Homemade chocolate chunk brownies
Belgian Chocolate Truffles
Creamy Homemade Chocolate Fudge . . . and more!

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.
