Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host
Currently, I reside with my family in the Bay Area and have worked in the residential real estate brokerage field for many years. Attending school in France and subsequently living there, I became a Francophile and developed an interest in good food, wine and the beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. I was born and raised in Manhattan, so qualify as a native New Yorker, and have always been drawn to the temperate climate of the Bay Area and the beauty of its surroundings. In my free time, I enjoy cycling, hiking, gardening, swimming, dining and sharing a glass of wine with family and friends I invite up to Napa to appreciate the many pleasures this Valley has to offer.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I were looking for a weekend retreat within close driving distance to the City where we worked, and found the Napa Valley to be the perfect location! We wanted a home that made us feel that we were on vacation, and would be the archetypal Napa Valley experience. We found the property by chance, while touring friends through Napa Valley who were visiting us from Florence, and who named the property "La Buona Stella", in Italian for "the lucky star".
It was love at first sight. We loved the old barns from the late 1800s on the property along with the existing old Zinfandel Vineyard, outbuildings, chicken coops and magical setting amongst the vineyards spreading out as far as one can see. To the original beauty, we added a 15 year labor of love in the creation of the fountains, and in the planting of the olive trees, Italian cypress, rosemary, lavender, and other Mediterranean plants, and then we renovated the buildings and outbuildings in order to duplicate the settings we adored in the south of France and Tuscany. From the feedback we have received from friends and guests alike, we feel we have achieved a unique compound that offers peace, tranquility, and beauty.

What makes this property unique
Waking up in the morning, and starting the day by walking over to the chicken coop to collect the fresh eggs is only one of the many unique features of the property! Ending the day sitting in the soothing outdoor Jacuzzi with therapeutic jets under the stars, and overlooking vineyards as far as the eye can see, is another magical moment. My friends and guests have often commented on how much they enjoy the rural quality of the compound, the extensive vegetable and herb gardens, the many varieties of fruit trees, including 5 varieties of fig trees, and the ability to create a meal just from the bounty of the gardens. In addition, the many outdoor sitting areas create the feeling of "outside rooms" providing quiet and seclusion, yet one is only a very short walk to the charming town of St,. Helena, with its European style cafes, exceptional state of the art movie theater, The Cameo, and numerous exceptional restaurants.
The property is in the very center of the Valley, on the Valley floor, so one has access to the any of the almost 500 Napa wineries, and world renown restaurants within a short drive. As we are sensitive to the traveler visiting the region, the house and the guest house are very well equipped with books and reading materials of every type, describing all the amenities and features the Valley has to offer.
The words "sanctuary", "magical oasis" , "a combination of luxury and simplicity", have all been used by my guests to describe their experience at La Buona Stella. And most importantly, I have been told and concur that , "when you pull up the driveway, you know you are on vacation..."
