Decide between downtown evenings and resort facilities
Archer, Napa River Inn, and Elm House keep downtown within walking range. Meritage, Silverado, and Casa Mani make pools, spas, grounds, and on-site dining a larger part of the stay. Villagio shortens the return from Yountville-area appointments; The Setting Inn trades town access for a smaller rural property.
