The Francis House

"Francis hotel is a beautiful home set smack dab in the middle of charming Calistoga wine country. The small hotel is like stepping into a forgotten time. It has a beautiful European feel and when you step inside it is like staying in a luxury French chateau. The owners Richard and Dina have done an excellent job of renovating this landmark from the ground up. They have taken a home that sat empty for 52 years and have returned it to a thing of beauty. No expense has been spared on the rooms, and they are absolutely lovely. The bedroom was filled with lovely antiques and modern touches. Everything from the linens in the bed to the Toto toilet and bidet in the bathroom were top of the line. The hosts, the Dwyers were so delightful, helpful and made a delicious breakfast each morning. This hotel is more like staying at a friend’s home than a cold hotel. We so enjoyed meeting the other guests at breakfast and sharing tips about Napa. We will definitely stay here again!"

"The Francis house is a unique experience of relaxed quiet luxury combined with lots of fun and adventure. The property has many amenities and the rooms are beautiful and spacious. Dina and Rich are the hosts with the mostest. I highly recommend TFH"

"To say our stay was incredible is an understatement. The property is a unique one like no other, beautiful finishings and little touches that really enhance your stay. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and well designed. Our hosts Richard and Dina could not be more hospitable, they were amazing. From taking care of your dinner reservations to making a lovely breakfast daily. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the valley look no further than the incredible Francis House. We will be back!"

"Stay at the Francis House! Dina and Richard at The Francis House are fabulous! The historic building was renovated by the couple and it is absolutely beautiful and cozy. We loved staying here and we will be back! To top it off the breakfast each morning was gourmet and delicious! Dina and Rich were the best hosts…attentive, friendly, kind and warm."

"What an incredible place! The Francis House combines all the atmosphere and amenities of a luxury hotel with a relaxed and welcoming California feel. The rooms are beautiful and modern, but set in this historic location. The patio, pool, and tennis courts are beautifully maintained and were a great place to hang out. Dina and Richard are absolutely lovely. They made incredible breakfasts, had great local recommendations to share, and cultivated a very friendly and communal environment. It truly felt like we had found a hidden gem and we hope to visit again!"
