Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Villagio

At this slick yet inviting downtown haven, the streamlined furnishings, subdued color schemes, and high ceilings create a sense of spaciousness in the rooms and suites, each of which has a wood-burning fireplace and a balcony or patio. Many rooms have views of a landscaped courtyard. With a grand fireplace, overstuffed leather furniture, a pool table, and a well-stocked bar, the lobby has a clubby, masculine feel. A few steps away are the pool and the 13,000-square-foot The Spa at The Estate facility, which the hotel shares with sister property the Vintage House. A dozen or so tasting rooms and The French Laundry and other high-profile restaurants are within easy walking distance.
