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
