Bed and Breakfast Accommodations


St. Helena, California bed and breakfast: Ambrose Bierce House

In this perfect location... right in the center of the finest wineries of Napa Valley... you can walk to fine and casual dining, historic Beringer Vineyards... and unique shopping in beautiful and quaint downtown St. Helena.

Our goal is to offer you the finest combination of luxury, hospitality and history, garnished with our famous mouth-watering full gourmet champagne breakfasts and the premium wines and cheeses that we serve each evening. Crystal decanters of Port are in each guest room for a nightcap if you should want one.

Tasting wines and touring some of the oldest and most prestigious wineries are just the beginning... dining... ballooning... bicycling... massage for two? We are happy to be your own personal concierge.

Each evening, enjoy the company of others while we serve premium wines and cheeses... review our complete collection of restaurant menus or just watch the world go by... cuddle up next to our giant redwood tree on our covered balcony... or with classical music as your background, enjoy the parlor...

Awaken to the aroma of the inn's own blend of coffee... that is just a start as breakfast is an event every day. We serve a full gourmet, champagne breakfast complete with Eggs Benedict, Belgian Waffles, or stuffed French toast, fresh fruits, croissants, a selection of premium teas, coffee, fresh juice and champagne of course!

"Incredible breakfasts and unequaled hospitality. John's wines were to die for!" -Barb & Dick Jones
