The Napa Valley is a pretty secure place. Not much crime. That said there isn't much in in the way of indoor parking. I'd suggest a car cover with a lock. Most B&B's are not readily visible from the road. Most I'm familliar with are on isolated plots. I'd stay out of Downtown Napa overnight. Yountville, Oakville St. Helena and anyplace that isn't identified as a "street" Main Street, Jefferson Street, etc are very very safe, the more isolated country B&B's are on Lanes, Avenues and Roads.

Price and service are main consderations. Ask whether the B&B in question has a private bath for the room you are asking about. The more expensive ones will. The less expensive ones will not. Breakfast is another big factor. Some offer a complete menue, some are limited. Some offer continental (donughts and coffee maybe cereal and fruit).

Now is the most reasonable time to visit the Valley. Tourists are generally gone and the rains are about over. Everything is green albeit a bit chilly.

Have Fun.
