What to expect:
Along the darling streets of Napa Valley’s Yountville neighborhood lies a luminously lit safe haven: The Spa at the Estate. The upscale-chic waiting room works like a charm, instantly putting us in a meditative mood when we enter. Maybe it’s because we know moments later, we’ll be in a terrycloth robe, sipping fruit-infused water, and giving our skin the ultimate in TLC.

What they deliver:
The facial room is so serene. Our treatment took place in one of their spa suites where you can revel in the calm serenity of your own bath tub. As soon as we saw the tub we almost regretted not booking suite time which can be reserved for up to 5 hours if you book a retreat experience.

We literally sank into the heated bed and, upon contact, zen all the way out for our Advance Radiance treatment. Our aesthetician first started assessing our skin. Using all ESPA products, she thoroughly cleansed, steamed, toned, extracted, balanced, and did three massages: a contouring and lifting facial massage; a Rose Quartz crystal massage; and scalp massage.
After the most blissful 90 minutes, a peek in the mirror gave us the ultimate satisfaction. Our once stressed-out, dehydrated skin has a glow that we know will last for days on end. The baby-smooth texture is another thing we savor.
The entire experience will leave you feeling like a million bucks. Make the appointment and you’ll be sold.
