Description

Villa Bellissima Alba
Situated on 40 acres in northern Napa Valley, this Tuscan stone farmhouse will make you feel as if you were transported to the Italian countryside with rolling hills and manicured vineyards. The estate lies next to Peter Michael Vineyard in the stunning Knights Valley appellation—the easternmost, warmest AVA in Sonoma County with the Mayacamas mountain range and Mount St. Helena as its backdrop. Its warm climate and rocky volcanic soil produce highly acclaimed, age-worthy Cabernet with an opulent flavor blend. But there’s more to Calistoga than world-class wines; it’s also home to a number of resort spas where visitors can soak in world-renowned, mineral-rich hot springs and volcanic mud baths.

An iron gate opens and welcomes you to Villa Bellissima Alba—a worldly retreat in the heart of this prestigious wine country. Surrounded by gardens, the property boasts an exceptional outdoor space with a 75-foot lap pool, a bocce ball court, and an outdoor kitchen set among cabernet vines, and aged olive and fig trees. It offers three master suites with private balconies and a spacious, finished basement suite.

The home features a sizable gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances, granite countertops, and an island with bar seating for three. Beamed ceilings flow throughout the main living area, adding depth and rustic charm to the dining room and parlor, where French doors lead you onto the back deck to soak up exposures of Mount St. Helena. The family room provides a comfortable and charming place to relax. It features a wood-burning fireplace, flatscreen TV now with highspeed Starlink internet for your streaming pleasure, and oversized chairs that convert into beds. A winding grand staircase takes you upstairs to the library, where natural light pours through the windows and illuminates the pages of the novel you choose to get lost in.

Down the hall, the charming master suite includes a king bed, cozy sitting area, and French doors that open to your private balcony. The master bathroom is draped in gorgeous tile and features a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanity. There are two guest rooms on this floor, one with a king bed and one with a queen. They both have private balconies and their own full bathroom. The finished basement is where you will find the final suite with a king bed, an elegant sitting/tv area, and a full bath.

Enjoy all of the pleasures that the property’s outdoor space has to offer as you surround yourself with awe-inspiring mountains and vineyards. Its most unique feature is the bocce ball court, although rather fitting for its setting given that bocce is also known as Italian lawn bowling. After a day touring wineries and vineyards, relax poolside or cool off in the 75-foot lap pool. End each day dining under the olive trees with glasses of Les Pavots—the crown jewel of the neighboring Peter Michael Winery.

**Please note:
The pool is only heated from June-September.

Uber, Lyft, and taxis are not abundant in the area. A preordered car service or driver is recommended.

Up and away

This home is amazing, up and away from the crowds of the valley. A perfect setting for a family or friends wanting to share great times and spectacular views. We missed using the pool and spending more time outside with bocce ball, pool, fire pit etc etc. The outdoor BBQ area is well appointed and we used it a few times. The indoors provide plenty of space for game night and relaxing. Tom and Lori”

Perfect family getaway

We had a great family vacation in this beautiful home. The house is spacious and very well-appointed with beautiful grounds and great pool! We enjoyed family time together at the home and also toured a bit of the local area for wine tasting. Very relaxing and we highly recommend for a wine country getaway! Thank you for a wonderful stay!”

Secluded Escape

This property is perfect to get away from it all. Nestled above Peter Michael Winery, the villa was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. Three bedrooms with full baths are located on the 2nd floor with a fourth and half bath in the basement. Bocce court, outdoor bbq, saltwater pool, and plenty of patio seating were among the amenities. The only major drawback was the lack of high speed internet. There were also a few minor issues with maintenance. Finally, note this property is rather remote and the access road is partially paved, resulting in much travel time, especially if Yountville, Napa and St. Helena are on your itinerary. Owner was great….excellent prearrival experience as well as follow up during our stay.”
