Looking for a vacation? Plan a glamorous getaway at these top 10 Napa boutique hotels.

Auberge du Soleil
A private cottage at this “Inn of the Sun” commands up to $4,250 a night, making a single room seem like a virtual steal at $525. Yet get past the sticker shock, and remember that’s why this remains one of the most coveted properties in wine country, consistently turning up on respected lists of the world’s finest hotels. Just look at the priceless setting: the gorgeous landscape impresses with adobe-style buildings nestled throughout the wooded property, featuring just 50 private guestrooms and all with breathtaking views of vineyards and olive trees dotting the hills. Prepare to stretch out – standard rooms span 500 square feet with fireplaces, while a person could easily live full time in the cottages that rival the size of a nice home.

Carneros Inn
Zipping along Hwy. 12/121, The Carneros Inn looks like a tight, shiny industrial park, though a very pretty industrial park. Yet go behind the gates into the private retreat just past the centerpiece Farm restaurant, and discover a luxurious Napa Valley oasis. This PlumpJack Resort sprawls across 27 acres of lovely grape vines, bucolic Napa farmland and scenic apple orchards, with rustic architecture including barns, silos and ranchers’ cottages accented by swimming pools, a spa, and private gardens. You’ll love the outdoor showers and soaking tubs that can be enjoyed under a blanket of stars, crisp white linens and heated floors that feel so good on your feet.

Oak Knoll Inn
Driving down tree-lined Oak Knoll Avenue past endless vineyards, it would be easy to miss Oak Knoll Inn. A stone building nestled behind a wall of cypress, it’s entirely secluded, and one of the most luxurious bed and breakfast inns in all of Napa Valley. Your cares will melt away as you relax amid 600 acres of Chardonnay vines, replete with a hot tub in the garden and a swimming pool. Take your breakfast on the deck in summer, or in front of the fireplace in the winter.

Silverado Resort and Spa
Tucked into rolling hills amid the vineyards, the resort offers ample recreation from golf, to fireside massages, to three destination restaurants, ten swimming pools and 13 tennis courts, plus hiking and biking trails. Still, the most lavish retreat exists in your guest room, a sanctuary of plush king-sized beds with 340 thread-count Egyptian cotton bedding, fireplaces, private balconies and patios.

Savor the views and enjoy complimentary breakfast on the private verandas, and mingle with other guests for the complimentary wine and cheese reception on the main terrace each evening. Or, you may choose to never leave your room, furnished with antiques, down-filled duvets, plush robes, and wood-burning fireplaces.
