Fabulous first night

"After our fabulous first night at the Purple Orchid Inn we knew one thing, "We weren't in Kansas anymore!"
Jane and Ryan Hardt, Kansas City (September 1, 2007)


A beautiful and peaceful place

Living in the Napa Valley we thought we were in God's country. Then we came here. What a beautiful, peaceful place, and a wonderful Inn. Very special. You came highly recommended to us by a travel agent in Danville, Travel Concepts, but we never imagined we would be so spoiled. We shall be back.

Enjoyable stay in a peaceful environment

My sister and I came for a day of spa treatments and to spend a night away from the kids. We love the peaceful environment, beautiful room and the delicious breakfast. My sister will be moving across the country next month and we will treasure to time we had here. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Hearty breakfast at Purple Orchid

Breakfast at the Purple Orchid Inn is hearty - a secret get-away without getting away ... an exquisite facial, especially necessary after a long day of golf!
Susan Fornoff, San Francisco Chronicle (January 1, 2008)

Thanks for the memories

What a great setting to end our California getaway. The suite was spacious, homey and could only be topped by the kiss I received from Kenny Loggins at the concert last night! I would have dreamt of him but I had my wonderful husband of 24 years by my side, who could ask for more (not to mention our 3 beautiful children). We will be back! Thanks for the memories.

Perfect business retreat

What a perfect business retreat. It didn't seem like work. The staff and Mozart were just great. So warm and friendly. I don't want to leave. I felt like I was home.
Jenny, Austin, TX (January 1, 2008)

Simply enchanting!

Simply enchanting. The wine and cheese reception along with the swimming pool and spa were just the ticket after 20 hours of travel.

A Retreat of Total Relaxation in Bay Area, CA

An evening of relaxing for the 13 of us after a full day of Wine tasting in the Livermore Valley was shared at the beautiful Purple Orchid Inn, Resort & SPA. We had booked 6 Rooms including the two Suites. The Purple Orchid's ambiance around the pool in the evening was a sheer delight. The setting and location of the Purple Orchid allows you to feel miles away from reality. We enjoyed our evening socializing in one of the large & spacious suites before retiring to our individual rooms.

This pleasant destination is a must for all Bay area Couples local and those from afar, to experience the total serenity and tranquility of what Livermore Wine Country has to offer.

Thanks

Spa

A Day of SPA Bliss for my Bridal Party

Thank you, Thank you and Thank you so much ! Purple Orchid our day was perfect and the entire staff has out done themselves on our Bridal Shower Celebration today.

Last year in December I planned a Special SPA Day for Bridesmaids and Moms at the Inn. Me (the Bride) is getting married in two weeks and I wanted to celebrate these very special people in my Life. Purple Orchid was the Place to celebrate ! This day exceeded my expectations beyond anything I would expect from a Day SPA. My dear friends that attended my SPA Shower had frequented the Purple Orchid SPA prior and could not get over the dramatic changes to the SPA Menu and the new treatments, the gracious SPA Staff, stunning grounds and the fantastic Service. Jennifer, Luis and Jess were just flawless in their constant attention to our every need as we relaxed, sipped wine in the hot tubs and noshed on the Fresh Fruit and Organic Salads & wraps. There was no detail they left untouched; beautiful fresh cut flowers at every corner and plush Robes to wrap ourselves up !

To top it all off as keep sakes each guest received a personal picture CD of all the photographs Purple Orchid Staff had taken of our Group throughout the day ! I am simply overjoyed and I will be back for many SPA treatments to come..As will my Guests !

Again we were welcomed and taken care of from the moment we walked in to the time we left. Thank you all for a perfect SPA Shower and the excellent treatment of all those closest to me.

Winners Of Purple Orchid's 1000th Wedding Rafflle

The happy couple is Cinda Mahorney and Michael Freitas of Antioch. Together, they are the owners of Shear Magic Grooming pet salon in Pleasanton.

"We chose the Inn because of the beautiful setting, all the options we've been offered in terms of music, flowers and other amenities, the exquisite caterer, and the pleasant, efficient staff."

Combining Corporate World with Serene Settings

My Focus group and I came to the Purple Orchid Inn for a Corporate Project. The Team stayed at the Inn for 2 nights and not only were we able to release an abundance of Creativity and successfully complete our Project Goal we each also benefited from complete relaxation surrounded by Waterfalls, Gardens and rolling hills covered in Olive Trees and the Tropical oasis surrounding Poolside.

To top it all off when a Team member left her diamond Ring from Israel on the Board Room table overnight our Host Jess immediately returned it safely. The care and concern for our Group from the owner down to the Chef was absolutely 5 Star !

We look forward to a Team Project in the Future at the Purple Orchid Inn.

Corporate Retreat for a Well Deserved Team, September 2008

Excellent Service Poolside !

Our Corporate retreat in September was well planned and well catered to as well. I thought the group had 3 folks tending to the Group when in reality it was only two. Superb Service ! Our day was seamless starting a morning of mimosa's and games poolside along with the individual massages and gourmet lunch that led to an afternoon touring the Livermore Valley Winery's in a stretch Escalade Limousine.

Only to return to return to our Purple Orchid host greeting us all back with Gift bags & a warm Farewell. This was the decompressing and bonding our Team needed. We will be back Jess personally & professionally.
