This is probably the best BnB that I have ever been to in my life.

I love this place!
It's now the second time we have stayed there and each time we are very very happy.
First time, we stayed in Suite #1, second time in Suite #3. Their website shows great pics of every room so you know what you are getting.
Anyway, this Victorian B&B has been very well renovated and decorated with a lot of taste. It's a clean warm look, no flowery wallpaper in this place.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
At 5:30pm, they have cocktail hour with wines and hors d'oeuvres. It's a nice way to chat with other guests and make the stay more personable.
They have ports and snacks available for any time you feel like it.
The breakfast in the morning is terrific and has a variety of choices. This time we chose to have the French Toast with Mascarpone and chicken apple sausages. That's the main dish and it comes after a basket of chocolate croissants and coffee cake, and a tropical fruit smoothie.
Oh and they had a small bottle of champagne waiting for us in the bedroom because we are repeat customers, as well as fresh chocolate truffles. That's after the welcome prosecco, of course.
Honestly, I don't want to even try to stay anywhere else in Napa Valley.

My girlfriend and I stayed there this past weekend, and initally chose this property over so many others because of their decor.  Neither of us is a fan of the nauseating floral patterns that accompany so many B&B's in Napa, so 1801's contemporary rooms immediately caught our eye.  As great as the room was (we stayed in Suite #5, which had a skylight that opened to the stars), the service was even better.  (Never underestimate the impact a good concierge can have up there.)  Cristin (one of the concierges) was incredibly helpful in crafting an itinerary for a memorable weekend.  She helped us line up a hot air balloon ride, as well as bike rentals and numerous complimentary winery visits.  I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention the food.  The Inn provides all sorts of complimentary snacks, along with fresh-baked cookies.  They also brought in a local vintner for a private tasting one night, and provided wine and hors d'ouerves another.  The kicker, however, were the made-to-order breakfasts, prepared by an amazing chef.  What a great way to start the day.  

Seriously...if you're considering staying at a B&B in Napa, you'd be foolish not to consider 1801 First.
