Men’s lifestyle website MadeMan.com ranked Kenwood Inn and Spa amongst the 10 best luxury small hotels in the world. Kenwood is in good company, with luxury hotels in Bali, Paris, New Zealand, and Florence ranking high as well.

“The 10 best luxury small hotels of the world include a variety of accommodations in cities and remote outposts. Luxury is in the eye of the visitor, but some hotels have features that surpass all others.”

Of Kenwood, MadeMan.com says, “The 29-rooms at the Mediterranean villa offer featherbeds and private entrances. The view from each room features one of the three courtyards. The adult-only inn makes the Conde Nast Travelers’ Gold List. This tiny treasure nestled in the Napa Valley also has knock out food and a wine list that features, of course, California offerings.”

Guests come to Kenwood to get away from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives and the din of the city. Our lushly landscaped property is a balm to the spirit, filled with rich greenery, bubbling ponds and fragrant flowers.

We’re surrounded by 40 acres of protected woodlands and wetlands, which are home to many forest creatures that occasionally find their way onto our grounds. We’ve had a visit from a river otter and have several frogs who live in the Wheelhouse pond. Timid deer nibble in our gardens, and field mice and garter snakes help keep our ecosystem in balance.

While we do our best to keep these visitors to a minimum, nature has a mind of her own. Should you be lucky enough to spot a critter, chalk it up to the fact that Kenwood is located in a region that is proud of its rural, agricultural roots and is striving to keep it that way.

A graduate of the California Culinary Institute in San Francisco, Kenwood Inn and Spa’s new chef, Andrea Di Loreto, is a diminutive dynamo who seems to have her finger (and fork) on the pulse of wine country cuisine.  Blessed with access to an array of fruit on the property—think apples, pears, pomegranates and figs—and an abundance of lush farm products nearby, Kenwood has made a winning selection.

With a bent toward the ingredients of the Mediterranean and Italy (those are her roots after all!), Andrea is composing light, bright flavors in her dishes sprinkled judiciously with rich comforts like guanciale combined with her wood-fired asparagus. Especially exciting is her take on King salmon; a lovely nestle of rich fish, filled with Shrimp and Spinach with Lemon Beurre Blanc and Herb Oil and sitting on a satisfying Dill Potato Cake.

Breakfast, which is a complimentary daily offering to guests, is a real treat.  A beautifully composed and delicious plate of three items satisfy morningtime cravings for both sweet and savory.  A standout is the Braised Egg with Roasted Peppers and Spinach Puree on Yukon Gold Potatoes, Ricotta Pancake with House Made Strawberry Preserves and Fennel Sausage with Fennel Puree.

Desserts, being produced by recent CIA graduate Khambay Khamsyvoravong, are refreshingly delicious and oh, so beautiful.  Her Bittersweet Chocolate and Caramel Ganache Tart with Salted Caramel Ice Cream is sweet and salty in its best combination.

Sweltering summer sun can be unkind to skin, so the need to refresh and rejuvenate this month is essential. To get that quintessential summer shimmer, Kenwood’s Celebrity Glow will get you well on your way.

Begin with an 80-minute Wine Country Facial + Lifting Mask to leave skin looking flawless. Then a 50-minute Enzyme Body Treatment which includes a full-body mask infused with plant enzymes, amino acids, and volcanic minerals to remove dead skin cells, cleanse pores, and exfoliate skin.

A soothing scalp and foot massage eases tension and lulls you into a state of complete relaxation. With skin’s youthful glow restored–face and body–summer’s dehydration is no match for you.

Purchase a Celebrity Glow package ($295) and you’ll receive a complimentary lunch, glass of delicious HKG wine, and spa gift for two people.

“Think of it as a romantic destination in and of itself.”

Lovely lifestyle blog Linen and Lavender offered a glowing review of Kenwood Inn and Spa recently, making note of the attention to detail that makes Kenwood so elegant, such as freshly pressed linens daily.

Linen and Lavender also encourages guests to make Kenwood Inn and Spa the destination, rather than just a place to stay on a Sonoma visit.

“Each night, we looked longingly as we passed the candle-lit courtyard with its fountain and fireplace creating a magical atmosphere … wishing we were about to partake in whatever was sending the enticing aromas wafting by. We realized then that instead of driving out to reservations elsewhere, we’d much prefer staying right where we were—enjoying the wine bar and lingering over dinner with just a short walk to our beautiful room.”

Kenwood Inn and Spa’s award-winning, 29-room resort, which boasts stunning Mediterranean-style architecture, is more than just a place to hang the hat.

The intimate guest-only restaurant, led by chef Andrea Di Loreto, offers impeccable Northern Italian-inspired cuisine utilizing fruit harvested from the Inn’s own Clementine, avocado, kumquat, persimmon, apple, and pomegranate trees, as well as ingredients from top local farmers, ranchers, artisan cheese makers, and fisherman.

Chef Di Loreto’s dedication to high-quality, seasonal ingredients is apparent after just one glance at the mouthwatering menu—let alone one bite. Dinner options like Rombo in Padella, pan-seared halibut with saffron-braised fennel and micro licorice, and Petto di Pollo, Petaluma chicken breast with Thumbelina carrots, pearl onion, and fingerling potatoes, do not disappoint.

Naturally, the restaurant’s notable wine list is stellar, highlighting stand out local wines from around the Valley. So sip, savor, and enjoy the Kenwood Inn and Spa.
