About our Napa Valley Resort

Bardessono is a bold idea all its own in Napa Valley. In 2009, we set out to create a hotel and spa experience unlike any other, one that soothes and impresses, calms and renews. And so, you’ll find here the richest greens, the softest tones, the quietest sounds, the purist tastes and a subtle fragrance. You may even come to find an enhanced knowing of yourself, bring clarity to your life, walking our thoughtfully groomed gardens and being in the natural surroundings of Bardessono.

About Us

The property, established in 1926, was originally the home of Italian immigrants John and Lucy Bardessono, who, together with John's brother-in-law, Martin Zucco, purchased the 20-acre land to create a private estate and vineyard. Today, the hotel occupies five acres of the land. Lucy's Garden, tended to by Lucy, still thrives on the property, providing fresh produce for Lucy Restaurant & Bar.
