My wife and I started coming to the Farmhouse Inn about a dozen years or so ago. We love it because it is small and private with charming rooms, beautiful common areas and a highly attentive staff that make us feel like family. This visit, like all of our prior ones over the years, was excellent. We came in on a Sunday for just one night when the hotel was only about 60% full. The concierge recognized us from our previous visits and welcomed us warmly. We were given a complimentary room upgrade. A bottle of wine and a sweet, hand-written welcome note were waiting for us in our room. We spent the afternoon lounging by the swimming pool and had an artisan pizza and drinks from the Farmstand poolside restaurant. The staff was very attentive and continually refreshed our ice-water and towels, and brought small dining treats to all of the poolside guests. We had a 6pm dinner in the fine dining restaurant. The dining room is in the main farmhouse is beautiful in an understated and casual way. The dinner was a Chef's choice set menu, which might not appeal to everyone, but was great for us. We also opted for the wine pairings. We have eaten many fine meals all over the world, but our dinner that night was probably the best we have ever had. From the champagne start and several small appetizers, we were then treated to eight small courses, many of them served by the Chef himself. The Sommelier delivered and explained a new wine with each course, until the final Sauterne with dessert. This restaurant deserves to have its Michelin Star returned! After a quiet and peaceful night in our room and an delightful steam shower the next morning, we opted for breakfast in the restaurant and were treated to a more casual, but just as excellent, dining experience. On our departure, we were again greeted warmly at reception and let them know that we hope to be back again soon! The cost of this hotel, like most great properties in Napa and Sonoma is not cheap, and continues to increase over time, but, for us at least, the experience continues to be worth the price.
