Calistoga

The appealing and historic town of Calistoga, California awaits the intrepid traveler at the “top” of the verdant and bountiful Napa Valley. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote of this place, “Calistoga itself seems to repose on a mere film above a boiling, subterranean lake.” With its muds of ancient volcanic ash and mineral-rich hot springs, Calistoga is considered among the great wellness and relaxation destinations of the world.

Ready to leave the hurried and harried world behind? Calistoga spa resorts abound, and each has a full menu of spa treatments for individuals and couples. Your vacation wouldn't be complete without a visit to a Calistoga day spa for a little pampering and relaxation. Choose from therapeutic mud baths, a massage, skin care treatments, lounging by the pool or swimming. From charming bed and breakfasts to luxurious resort hotels like the historic Mount View Hotel & Spa, or the stunning 19th century Pink Mansion, Calistoga offers a wide selection of overnight lodging and inns. The hills are, of course, alive with the pleasures of Calistoga wine, wineries, vineyards, and wine tasting. And, downtown Calistoga is home to restaurants that have earned Zagat and Michelin listings. Lincoln Ave is dotted with bakeries, bistros and wine bars for every taste and budget.

Calistoga will not disappoint outdoor enthusiast either. Great cycling, hiking, and nature walks are offered in many nearby state parks. Calistoga attractions include one of only three “Old Faithful” geysers, erupting dependably every forty minutes to a thrilled audience, and a petrified forest. Calistoga is located on Highway 29, a few miles past St. Helena at the north end of Napa Valley. Check out our Real Estate for Calistoga homes.
