- Kathryn Folliott

The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa, Calif., wants to paint a picture with its latest package, the Art of Relaxation, which offers easels, canvas, paints and brushes for two along with overnight accommodat­ion in a superior room or suite.

Timed for the Napa Valley’s Arts in April festival, but available through to the end of the year, the Art of Relaxation also comes with a bottle of sparkling wine and two 50-minute spa treatments. Rates start at $329 (all prices U.S.) per night with a two-night minimum stay. For a Napa Valley getaway without the art supplies (and at a lower price), the Meritage also has the appropriat­elynamed Room With (No) View deal, offering accommodat­ion in one of the property’s interior corner rooms with little to no view but with all the same space, furnishing­s and amenities as other rooms. The Room With (No) View leads in at $129 per night towards the end of the year and around $179 per night in spring, summer and fall.
