Spanish Villa Inn

This place is truly a hidden gem! We visited over the long weekend, booked at the last minute, and didn’t know what to expect. The grounds were stunning and very well maintained. Roy, our host, was fantastic—he greeted us warmly upon arrival and even upgraded our room at no extra charge. The room was spacious, spotless, and had the most comfortable bed. The balcony added a touch of charm, making us feel like we were on a European getaway. If you're looking for a European-inspired experience in St. Helena, the Spanish Villa is the ideal spot!

The name Spanish Villa Inn sounds lovely, but our stay was not. The biggest concern was safety. The whole set up of this place was creepy and the fact that the only thing separating us from other guests was a screen. Anyone could walk into the inn day or night. And since the owner showed us how to lock our doors from the inside…that seemed weird. I thought our group of 12 would be here on our own. The outside furniture was mismatched, old and not taken care of. Would not come back here…

Wow, where do I begin. Please accept this review as a warning to not stay here. We were with a couple from another country who booked this location without, probably, not reading the reviews. The heater/air conditioning unit was right outside our door in a closet with doors that were flimsy and cheap, so all the noise went right through them. No internet from the room. When I asked Roy his response was "some rooms get it and some don't." Great response Roy. So glad you were a teacher and not a guest services professional. Should have never quit your day job. The bed had a hole in it that I had to sleep around. Seriously. The bathroom mat was the smallest I have ever seen. 13 by 18 inches. Awful
