Saint Vincent's Hill House in Napa

This beautiful house is in the town of Vallejo 14 miles south of Napa
at the junction of highways 37 and 29. It is a 10 minute walk from the
ferry (55 minutes) to San Francisco. Vallejo, once the capitol of
California, is an undiscovered hideaway from which one can explore
much of northern California.

Saint Vincent's Hill House is an elegant Victorian built in the 1890's
with a unique setting overlooking Vallejo Harbor with views from the
Napa River and Mare Island bridges all the way to Mount Tamalpias in
Marin County. It is situated in the St. Vincent's Historic District of
Vallejo, and has recently been lovingly restored by the owners from
the foundation to the attic.

It is a three bedroom, two bath house and sleeps five people. (Bedroom
#1 has a king bed, #2 has 2 twin beds, #3 has 1 twin bed.) It is a
non-smoking venue. The house has hardwood floors in the living,
dining, and master bedroom, and restored fir floors in the kitchen and
other bedrooms. The larger bath boasts a claw foot tub with shower;
the small bath has a shower. Both baths have vintage fixtures. The
kitchen is thoroughly modern while maintaining its Victorian charm,
and is adjoined by a wonderful sun porch (perfect for morning coffee
and twilight views). All rooms are blessed with over ten foot ceilings
and period chandeliers.

In addition to the main house we offer a lower apartment(rented
separately) which sleeps four to six people and is equally as
charming. It has two bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with two
twins), one large bath with a clawfoot soaking tub/shower, laundry
room, a lovely living room, kitchen, and sunroom for dining. Here you
can enjoy beautiful views of the hillsides, Napa River and Mare Island
Bridge.

There are good restaurants, antique shops, and convenience stores
within walking distance from the house. A wonderful multi-cultural
farmer's market takes place on Georgia Street (a ten minute walk)
every Saturday morning year round.

Both the house and the apartment have washer and drier, dishwasher,
high speed internet, and cable television. Quality linens and culinary
essentials are provided.
