Madrona Manor Wine Country Inn and Restaurant

Such a Hidden Gem! This is the perfect get away from any city. I love that they have their own garden and grow the food they serve at the hotel.

My husband and I spent a night at the beautiful Madrona in Healdsburg. The grounds are carefully tended and the main hotel building is quite an interesting and well-maintained inn from the 1800s. Our room was in one of the out-buildings, No.1, and was spacious and private. I was disappointed in some of the features of the room: the bathroom door had a hook missing and a gouge and scrapes all over it; a chunk of the plaster wall in the bathroom was broken off; the shower was difficult to get into due to the high wall one has to step over to access it and the shower floor was slippery with no mat; the coffee maker had cups that were too large to fit under it; the chocolate left at the turndown was a well-known subpar brand. This was not what I expected for $600 a night. We had a lovely dinner in the hotel that night. The food was excellent and the waitstaff attentive and pleasant. All in all, a decent stay but one that could have been better with more attention to the details.

Our stay was fabulous. Was like coming home. Every room, private and public was comfy, cozy, entertaining, historical. The artwork amazing and eclectic. The staff very attentive without being intsrusive and were very helpful I can see why Madrona is a Michelin Star property. The gardens simply amazing and to be able to walk around and be with nature in wine country! Hello....just fabulous. The grounds, gym, etc. I could go on for days. Wished we could have stayed longer, but will definitely be back. Thanks for making this such a memorable trip. Madrona truly embodied the Aloha spirit for us.

My wife and I were searching for a place to reconnect and get some much needed R&R. We found The Madrona online and from the photos, reviews, and location, thought it would be the perfect little getaway we were looking for. We took 3 days off of work, booked two airline tickets and flew up on a Tuesday. Upon arrival the place was quite charming and the staff was very welcoming. We booked the balcony suite so we can really enjoy the views of the valley and vineyards. They showed us to our room and I have to say we loved the room and all the decor. We made arrangements to have dinner at the restaurant because of the ratings and since we were in the countryside, we ordered the duck. Not what I was expecting and I wish I had tried another dish. Our waitress seemed busy and we were sitting there with empty glasses and waited for our bill for quite a while. After dinner we sat at the bar and really enjoyed the bartender, I think his name was Ryan. He made us some of his signature drinks and we had great conversation. Layed down in the nice comfy bed and was awaken around 4am with loud traffic outside the hotel. Couldn't fall back asleep as the noise continued and got up unrested. Second night, layed down again and woke up around 2am with more loud noise. This time is sounded like leaf blowers out in front of the hotel. I reached out to the hotel staff and they were unsure what the noise was. Around 3:30am they finally figured out that the property next door had a grounds crew that worked through the night and was using dual gas leaf blowers to clean the streets in front of their establishment. The staff said there was nothing they could do about it so I layed there and had to listen to that noise until we got up at 7am, second night no sleep and got up unrested. My wife and I had breakfast downstairs and we really enjoyed the eggs, fresh fruit, and the fresh squeezed orange juice. After breakfast, we decided to use the E-bikes and go for a ride around the neighborhood wineries which was really fun. We took a stroll through Healdsburg and checked the local shops. To spend our last day at The Madrona, we figured we could just lounge by the pool and maybe take a nap. The pool and pool area is quite nice and has lots of lounges. However, ironically enough, the grounds crew was using the leaf blower to clean the sidewalks adjacent to the pool and all we could hear was the whining from the electric leaf blowers. Needless to say, we did not get to rest nor take a nap that day. We loved the house, staff, and grounds, but I'm not sure we can visit again unless they've dealt with the noise issues. We paid for the upgraded (balcony) room and felt as though we didn't get the overall experience we really needed, which was rest.

I recently stayed at The Madrona in Healdsburg and had a really lovely experience. The property is beautiful, but what impressed me most was the interior design. Every space feels carefully considered--there's a mix of vintage pieces, bold colors, and unique details that give the hotel so much character. It's stylish without feeling overdone, and there's a real sense of personality throughout. My room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches that made it feel special. Even the common areas, like the lobby and restaurant, were a pleasure to spend time in. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It's the kind of place where design truly enhances the stay--I'd absolutely return.
