What it's like

Roman Spa is a hot springs resort on Washington Street with indoor and outdoor pools fed by natural springs, set among gardens. Guests get a full-service spa with holistic treatments and a relaxed, soak-and-stay rhythm. The whole property is smoke-free.

Who it's best for

Couples and friends who want Calistoga's spa side at a moderate price, and people who like to soak more than they sightsee. It also works for guests who need accessible rooms, since the resort lists accessible parking, wheelchair-friendly paths, accessible pool entry and grab bars.

Rooms and amenities

The resort offers guest rooms and suites, with complimentary Wi-Fi, a BBQ area for outdoor dining and a complimentary shuttle around Calistoga. Spa therapies use local ingredients. Book direct on the resort's site for its stated best rates, or call 1-800-914-8957. The resort also takes part in a program donating $1 per night to local food security efforts.

Where it puts you

You are on Washington Street, a short way from Lincoln Avenue's restaurants, shops and tasting rooms, and the complimentary shuttle helps you get around town. For wineries beyond Calistoga, arrange a rideshare, tour or designated driver and reserve tastings in advance. Check the resort's site for current rooms, pool hours and spa menus before you go.
