Visiting the Napa Valley means a few things need to be in order before embarking on a cultural, culinary, and scenic journey. From the beginning of Napa Valley all the way to the end of the valley towards Saint Helena, there are many choices when it comes to hotels and accommodations.

Only about 10 minutes from the booming downtown, it is in the perfect location for being emerged into all types of adventure in the valley.

Thank you to Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria for such a wonderful experience in Sorrento, Italy.
