Aileen Boston, MA - August 2010My husband and I just returned from our second stay at the Bardessono. I had to write to let you know how much we enjoyed it, and how we are already planning our next visit! Our room was lovely and the service impeccable. But beyond that, we're so happy to be able to patronize a business that values sustainable living and green practices. The Bardessono is truly at the forefront of an important movement in the travel industry, and [we] are so glad to be along to enjoy the ride. We have already recommended the hotel to friends and colleagues here in Boston who visit Napa frequently. Looking forward to our next Bardessono stay!
Barbara Orinda, CAThe reason for choosing Bardessono for our stay is the environmental approach of the hotel itself. We wanted to see how all of the ecological and environmental elements had been applied. We now know it can be done!
We will certainly choose Bardessono above any other hotel in the Napa Valley and will be on the look out for new properties like the Bardessono. For those of us who enjoy travel, it is a must to stay in a hotel that is enviromentally friendly. It simply elevates the character of "hospitality service" to a new and much needed dimension.
Thomas & CindyI would like to thank you and your amazing staff for making our four day mini-vacation an unforgettable journey. Me and my beautiful girlfriend Cindy had stayed at your incredible resort [in] July. The rooms were amazing, spotless, well stocked and luxurious. We had ordered room service two of the nights [for dinner] and the waiter "Tim" was great! I had asked Tim if he knew where the famous "Bouchon" bakery was and he described to me how to get there from the hotel. An hour later a note had been slipped under our door with a drawn detailed map from Tim. I thought that this was going above and beyond his duties and it is the little things like this that make your hotel amazing. Me and Cindy felt like we were royalty, when we arrived we had a bottle of "Villa Mt. Eden, Cabernet awaiting us with a card saying "Happy Birthday Cindy" this was amazing and Cindy felt like Cinderella. We loved this wine so much that we ordered the same wine the two nights that we ate at the hotels incredible restaurant. We have been searching for this wine everywhere and have yet to find it. It was so delicious! When we came home from our trip we had told all of our families and friends about The Bardessono and how happy you had made us feel welcomed, warm and like family.
Maryanne August 2010The hotel is beautiful, peaceful and the service is wonderful. It is expensive but I appreciate that you offer one night stays during the week for those of us from San Francisco looking to escape the fog for a night. I would love to return to this hotel again and again - the food was great, and from the moment you meet the parking attendant, you know the hotel is well managed. I have stayed at beautiful looking hotels that are poorly run and it ruins the experience. My daughter was inspired to come home and "de-clutter" her room. I will use the information I learned about the green building construction to teach my students when I return to the classroom in a few weeks. Thank you.
Craig & JoAnn Seattle, WAI was in the bar for a while and Thomas as well as Camile were very welcoming. I went on to dinner and met Alfonso, who made things happen without interrupting our conversation. He also is knowledgeable about the food. Kevin stopped by a few times helping with the delivery and checking on how things were going. [F]rom the guest side, our opinion is that you've got some great people here! I did not meet the Chef, but my dinner was fantastic. JoAnn and I ate every single bite of everything. The portions were correct, I tried the Wild King Salmon and JoAnn had the lamb.
The next time we head on out for a wine shopping adventure, and that is not all that often, but it is every now and then, we will be staying here for a couple of nights. I also intend on mentioning Bardessono to a few couples I know that would be pleased with the scene here. So, in closing, we want to wish you the best of luck with your task here, and encourage all involved to keep up the good work, it looks and feels real good from this side!
