California deal offers canvas, paints and brushes for two,
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. See the Room Specials link under Specials at themeritageresort.com.
