Villa Luba Helena

A terracotta-colored hilltop villa on the Silverado Trail in St. Helena, where rose-lined garden paths, a grapevine-covered loggia, and an infinity-edge saltwater pool overlook the vineyards of Napa Valley's most celebrated corridor.

There is a particular kind of arrival that sets the tone for an entire stay. At Villa Luba Helena, it begins at the private gate, continues up a winding driveway, and reaches its first crescendo along a rose-lined garden path that leads to the front door of one of the most romantically conceived properties on the Silverado Trail. By the time guests step inside and find themselves beneath soaring open-beamed ceilings beside an oversized stone fireplace, the experience has already announced itself clearly: this is not a typical wine country rental.

The 3,400-square-foot villa is designed around the kind of generous, unhurried gathering that St. Helena's best days invite. The main level's great room flows naturally into a large eat-in kitchen — the social center of the home — where a Philips coffee system starts every morning right and a well-stocked wine bar and refrigerator close every evening better. Five bedroom suites, each with private baths, feature hand-plastered walls, wide plank wood floors, and designer window treatments throughout. A sixth bedroom suite adds flexibility for larger groups. Downstairs, a spacious game room with a pool table, large-screen TV, and exercise equipment offers the perfect counterpoint to long days of wine tasting.

Outside, the villa's grounds reveal themselves in layers. French doors open from the kitchen to a grapevine- and wisteria-covered dining loggia — one of the most atmospheric outdoor dining spaces of any property in the Mayastoga portfolio — shaded, fragrant, and perfectly proportioned for long lunches that drift effortlessly into dinner. The heated infinity-edge saltwater pool and jacuzzi sit further down the grounds, overlooking the vineyards of Napa Valley in a panorama that shifts from gold to crimson as the afternoon sun moves west. An outdoor kitchen with a wood-burning pizza oven and bar completes an alfresco offering that is genuinely exceptional.

Mature olive, oak, manzanita, and mimosa trees shade the grounds throughout, and a cascading fountain adds a sensory grace note that carries through the property. The estate includes a Tesla charger for guests who arrive in style and prefer to depart the same way.Located on the Silverado Trail in the heart of St. Helena — Napa Valley's most celebrated address — Villa Luba Helena places guests within minutes of the valley's finest wineries, Michelin-starred restaurants, and high-end boutiques, all without sacrificing a moment of the privacy and seclusion the estate so effortlessly provides.Sleeps 12 · 6 bedrooms · 6 bathrooms · 3,400 sq ft · Infinity-edge saltwater pool & jacuzzi

Great property for family gathering in Napa

We enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful place and plenty of room for a family of 12! The property was a bit rough around the edges though and the pool was not heated for half our stay despite our request.

Overall OK

The property was nice. The photo's on the website were nicer than the actually house. The location is great, the views nice. The was only one king bed vs 2 in the listing. The kitchen had most everything you need to make a good meal, but was little disorganized. The refrigerator was not operating properly, especially the freezer which did not work. The outside was nice, the pool was warm. The pool water was slightly dirty and not as clear as you would expect. Overall we enjoyed our stay, given the cost would have liked to see a more polished home. We had a great week with friends, Napa is is always fun.

Perfect Spot for a Family Reunion or Gathering of Friends

This property is beautiful and has everything you need for a wonderful gathering of 12. The outdoor space is spectacular, with a wonderful view, fabulous infinity pool, fire pit, shaded eating spot, wonderful bbq and pizza oven area, and a grassy area for yoga or cornhole! It even has an electric car charger. The indoor space is lovely as well with lots of room for a group. The hosts were great and made sure all of your needs were met. The kitchen has everything you need. The living room is great for movie night or playing games. The rooms and bathrooms are comfortable. I could not recommend this spot more highly. It exceeded are expectations!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is in a great location and accommodated our large group well.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was nicely situated at the end of a private drive up a hill. Pool and hot tub were great. Near St. Helena and Calistoga. We would definitely return.

Gorgeous outdoor areas and scenery, some issues that should be easily fixed/addressed

All in all, our party of 10 greatly enjoyed our time at this house. I want to highlight the positives to start: - the location both in terms of proximity to St. Helena as well as the stunning outdoor areas of this house cannot be overstated … just fantastic. We stayed here during New Year’s, but staying here during summer would be amazing in terms of getting to use the pool, etc. - the owner, Luba, was very available for communication, would get back to me instantly, and was very helpful for things that were not clear or not functioning correctly. Certain things came up as issues that, at this price point (give or take well over $1,500/night), I would not expect. I am simply listing them very specifically so that prospective renters understand why I would give this property 4 stars as opposed to 5: - upon arrival, the gate did not work, and one of our party had to climb through it and open it from inside. For the rest of the trip, sometimes it worked, and sometimes it was just open all day. - some issues with some of the bathrooms (very low water pressure in the basement shower, standing water accumulating in one of the upstairs shower upon every use, the basement mirror would not tilt up and thus was not usable). - not enough toilet paper to last 5 days, and just enough towels for 10 people (we had to redistribute towels to make sure everyone had one for the 5 nights we were there). - we were not able to get the oven to work (would not warm up). The owner sent someone out to inspect it and let me know that it was working. We tried it again and still could not get it to work properly. - the dishwasher was not working and had standing water in it when we arrived. We hand washed dishes/glassware the whole time we were there. - our party of 10 agreed that the house was a bit musty and not as clean, in general, as one would expect. I expect that Luba is fixing these issues and that, if I stayed there and these were addressed, it would be a 5-star experience.

Lovely property!

I stayed at the house for 6 days with a group of close friends to celebrate my 60th birthday. We really enjoyed the gorgeous pool and hot tub, the fire pit, and the outdoor kitchen. Four bedrooms have their own bathroom, which made the house perfect for a group of couples. An additional bedroom and private den with sofa sleeper provide extra sleeping space. The home is close to many world class wineries and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect house for a large group!

Just returned from 6 days of Napa/Sonoma. We were celebrating my husband's 65th with our adult children. House was very spacious and comfortable. The best part was the beautiful infinity pool and jacuzzi! It was a wonderful way to end our day of tastings and touring!. The kitchen was large and we had a private chef come in one night to cook our dinner. Location was great. The grounds of the house are beautiful as well. Would definitely recommend this house. Thanks Luba!
