I was kneaded, rubbed, cleansed, and moisturized, then rubbed and kneaded some more, until I was ready for a gurney to come take me back to my room. It was a bargain. The restaurant that's associated with the Village Inn, Speckmann's of Calistoga, is closed on Mondays, so I wasn't able to try it. Judging from the menu in the window, though, its German specialties would not qualify as spa food. But remember, Calistoga is in Napa Valley, where your dining choices are nearly unlimited.
Eateries abound, in every price range.
I was especially pleased that, although a full line of spa products is available, no one pushed them on me. Massage oils, moisturizing lotions, herbal shampoos, and other specialty products are for sale at the main office desk and the bathhouse. Overall, this was one of the most pleasant and relaxing vacations I've ever had, and the glow lasted me through several days once I was back at my desk. Rates are based on double occupancy. A conference center accommodates meetings of up to 70 people.
