F.J. Massa House ~ Walk to Downtown Napa ~ Bocce Court

Business License #27744
City of Napa Vacation Rental License VR09-0049

Named in honor of an Italian immigrant who settled in Napa in the early 1900’s to grow vegetables for his new-found community. Frank Massa built this mediterranean cottage as a wedding gift for his wife-to-be in 1930. The two bedroom, one bathroom cottage is listed on the historic register and fully restored to its original elegance & appointed with original furnishing and fixtures from the 1930's.

Enter this stunning residence through the garden courtyard bordered with potted plants and feel immediately at home. The formal living will welcome you with the sophistication of Persian rugs, built in shelves with books for your perusal, inviting fireplace, writing desk and comfortable sitting area. Continue through the French doors to the formal dining room that is certain to stimulate your appetite. Enjoy a bottle of wine in the garden over a game of Bocce Ball!

Take a short walk up First Street to the heart of the downtown where restaurants, wine tasting rooms and shops abound. St. Helena Hwy is just a few blocks away and will take you to any of the vineyards and wineries you have dreamed of.

The charming, refurbished kitchen, with its sunny breakfast room, is the perfect place to take pleasure in your morning coffee or afternoon tea. The bedrooms are tastefully furnished, one with Mediterranean style furniture and Adra’s dressing table, the other with Art Deco Waterfall furniture. A wonderful night’s sleep awaits you in these dreamy beds, complete with fine linens.

Let the last bit of stress melt away while you soak in the deep, cast iron tub. Admire the skillfully tiled floor and craftsmanship of a time past.

Perfect Location

Great location and price for a quick trip to Napa. Enjoyed walking to town (Winston’s has the best breakfast!) and being close to the highway. Two changes that would have made the stay even better (a TV in the living room and better bath towels). Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed the historical touches!

Wonderful location

My adult daughter and I stayed at this charming house for a few days of exploring Napa and Sonoma. It was wonderful. The home is decorated in period furnishings and we loved it. It had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. We were so happy to have a quiet place to come home to at the end of the day. The back garden was a great place to share a cheese plate and a final glass of wine.

Two-week Napa Get-Away

We had the most relaxing two-week stay in Napa, made perfect by our FJ Massa house accommodations. The house has it all: convenient location to downtown and the freeway to the wineries and Valley; comfortable beds; a fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals in and a bright breakfast nook or dining room for enjoying them; a beautiful garden area for afternoon reading; books; and so much more. Our hosts were super responsive and the house was immaculate. Whether you’re planning a get-away weekend or an extended stay like we had, the Massa house offers a cozy (yet updated) return to the 1930s that will delight history and architecture buffs while accommodating the needs of the contemporary vacationer.
