About this property

An Italian Villa in the heart of Napa Valley!

Villa RayEl was inspired by the farmhouses and small villas of Italy.

Located midway between downtown Napa and Yountville, this property sits on 2 acres providing great privacy. It sits next to a year-round creek with a view of a vineyard and nightly sunsets. It has a pool and an attached hot tub.

Located 5 minutes to Highway 29, 8 minutes to downtown Napa and 8 minutes to Yountville. It is convenient to great wineries, restaurants and shopping. Alston Park, one of Napa's best is 4 minutes by car where you can hike or jog.

Take an afternoon swim in the 40 foot private pool, relax in the hot tub under the stars, create great food in the fully equipped kitchen, or lounge on the terrace overlooking the creek and vineyard with a good book.

This is the perfect house to gather with friends or family!

California Family Wedding Vacation

The house was wonderful! We were close to everything Napa but sitting on the back porch and looking out at the beautiful scenery behind the house felt like we were "away". We went to wineries, grocery store, restaurants and downtown Napa from here. We would love to stay here again!

A Perfect Four Days

We had an absolutely fabulous time staying at Villa RayEl! The house is truly amazing, spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for our family! The highlight was definitely the pool, which was amazing. We were in town for a wedding at Stanly Ranch, and the location of the villa was ideal, making it easy to attend the festivities while also enjoying some downtime. We loved everything about this house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway in Napa!

Perfect!

This was a perfect location and house for a recent trip to Napa. So close to all the towns and wineries, yet secluded enough for privacy. So many amenities and features we could have spent the entire trip at the house. Thank you so much for hosting us and we cannot wait to come back!

We rent this property several times a year and it never disappoints! It's always clean, very well-appointed (kitchen supplies, towels, etc), and so comfortable. The house manager, Julie, is very responsive, helpful, and lovely to work with. Highly recommend this wonderful spot!

Wonderful place!

We came as a family to run the Napa Marathon/races. Location is very convenient to finish line. House was meticulously clean, and the sound of the rushing river near the hot tub was wonderful. We loved cooking in the kitchen. Thank you for a great stay.

Convenient Hideaway

A very well kept home conveniently located just minutes away from everything Napa. Located on the outskirts of a central neighborhood that provided immediate access to hwy 29, yet surprisingly secluded from the neighborhood with a stream and views of a vineyard along the entire back side of the property. The villa home is very spacious, with a very clean and comfy presentation. The fireplace and jacuzzi were perfect for the cool evenings.

About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

This is a very unique property designed to host friends and families in the Napa Valley. It is centrally located between Napa and Yountville. It has great indoor and outdoor living places to enjoy. It has a pool, sits next to a year long stream and has a beautiful view of the vineyard.

What makes this property unique

It is a secure and safe property with no neighbors on either side and a stream and vineyard behind the house. The front of the house sits on Redwood road but there are security lights with video recording for added safety. Note that we respect the privacy of our guests, so there is no video surveillance anywhere inside or in the backyard including the pool and gathering areas.
