"Situated on the former site of Lucy and John Bardessono's former homestead just steps from downtown Yountville, the 62-room eco-luxe hotel—with an on-site spa and garden-to-table-inspired eatery, Lucy Restaurant & Bar—was constructed using salvaged Tufa stone from the original family home; a 200-kilowatt solar energy system; and low volatile compound for all adhesives, finishes, paints, and carpets. The LEED Platinum–certified sanctuary is divvied up into Spa suites (ideal for couples with 800 square feet of space including a fully-enclosed furnished courtyard or patio); Steam Spa suites with an indoor shower-gone-steam room and an outdoor shower; and Tufa suites akin to wine country townhomes with massive living rooms, abstract art, and outdoor patios with flat-screen TVs." - Jennie Nunn
