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!

Great Vacation

Villa RayEl was an amazing place. We loved our stay in the house and it's location! It was exactly as described in the listing- a beautiful Italian Villa with vineyard views. The house was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The property manager was very responsive and communicated well with us as well did the owners prior to our vacation. We definitely will return to this rental on our next trip to Napa.

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!

Beautiful home for a wedding weekend

My fianceé (now wife) and I wanted a home to host ourselves and some family over our wedding weekend. The house was beautiful, and felt unique. My family loved the hot tub and pool. The surrounding nature made it all the more relaxing. My only wish is that the house was closer to St. Helena where my wedding was located, but even then, it was worth the extra time to get there.

Fantastic getaway

The property was even better in person! Conveniently located, but felt like you were secluded. It was perfect for our party of 6 (3 couples) with enough privacy and the communal rooms were just the right size for gathering. The grounds were immaculate, the view from the upper deck (with al fresco dining) was gorgeous, and the kitchen was extremely organized and well stocked. They thought of every detail for your stay. Thank you for the wonderful experience and we cant wait to come back!

About the host

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.
