Farmhouse Inn
“A beacon of elevated hospitality and comfortable luxury”

Relaxed Luxury

Located in Forestville, in the heart of Russian River Valley, Farmhouse Inn is Sonoma County’s ultimate retreat rooted in relaxed elegance and historic charm. Once home to Captain John Cooper and General Vallejo’s daughter in the late 1870s, the estate has shuffled hands many times throughout the decades. It was the area’s first gay resort in the mid-1970s, then it became a small, six-room B&B in the 1990s. Today, it’s a beacon of elevated hospitality and comfortable luxury as ranked by Travel + Leisure Magazine in 2016 as the #1 Hotel in California.

Farmhouse Inn

Forestville natives and siblings, Joe Bartolomei and Catherine Bartolomei, immediately went to work renovating and restoring the estate to create a world-class food, wine, and wellness destination when assuming ownership in 2001. The Farmhouse Inn now boasts 25 uniquely designed guest rooms which are a collection of charming guest cottages and a newer installation of barn-inspired luxury suites, complete with modern finishes and amenities, and a double-sided fireplace connecting the bedroom to a private balcony. The ultra sophisticated French-inspired seasonal tasting menu experience has garnered a consecutive 14 Michelin stars since its inception. Their more casual farm-to-table cuisine option offered via small plates provides all-day dining on the patio with poolside views. The full-service spa provides a serene getaway to pamper and restore, and the natural woodlands enveloping the enclave makes this property a highly sought-after boutique escape in wine country. Now in partnership with the Foley Family, under the Foley Entertainment Group, the team is building more bespoke suites and further updating the inn’s oldest cottages to offer the ultimate in accommodations and guest experiences.
