Apologies if there is already a thread about this somewhere - I didn't want to look through the zillions of pages that came up when I did a forum search.

Does anyone have a spa that they recommend in the Napa Vally? Preferably Calistoga? I'm looking for someplace with a wet room and preferably mud bath. I guess you could say I'm looking for a QPR spa - I can't afford anything like Auberge.

I've been to the Amadeus spa and it was very nice. Any other ideas? TIA

We've already made our reservations for theGolden Haven mudbaths. One of our favorite things about this place is that the mudbaths are for couples, and the price was right. MadameNCVL and myself have been here before and had a wonderful spa experience the last time, kazoo is optional

Is that where you are staying, NCVL? I went to the website but it looks like all their specials include an overnight stay. We're staying elsewhere. I wonder if they have package prices that do not include a stay?

Never mind. I found one. It does look like it has the best price!

Mrs. N -

This sounds like a fun one:

Vinotherapy

Nope, we're staying down the road, but we did get in on the couples package for teh Spa. Yes, the price is really nice and the mud feels sooooooooo good.

WOW kpak! the Kenwood Inn is beautiful! we would love to stay at a place that nice buuuuuuuuut........ we're going on a budget this time around. That is one beautiful Inn and Spa though

We always liked Village Inn & Spa. Great value play, imo, with excellent spa treatments/packages.
That being said, I haven't been there in a while.

I like the spa options - soak yourself in wine inside and out!

It does sound fun, but Yowza!! $100++ for a facial??

Stayed at Dr. Wilkerson's once! Quite "rustic" and inexpensive. Heard the doc passed away a week or so back.

Apparently it's not a health spa!

The mudbaths are really cool and the mud gets "everywhere" As I recall, it did takea little while for me to get used to it.

Yeah, I was thinking I might prefer a mud wrap to a mud bath. Do you go in a bathing suit or nekkid?

nekkid baby! nekkid! gotta love the free feeling in the room. No problemo, they give you plenty of privacy if your a little on the shy side. I'm telling you though ......... the mudbath feels really good and then after they do an herbal wrap I believe.

Hmm... Like you said, the mud gets everywhere. I am more comfortable with massage, facial, jacuzzi, body scrub, manicure, and pedicure. Do they use fresh mud for every person? I mean, what if someone... you know... in the mud?

the mudbath is pretty wierd. you basically float in it and supposedly your internal organs are "suspended" as well. you definitely need a high power shower afterward .

oh and you gotta love it when they take a regular garden shovel and cover you with mud in the tub.
