Rancho Bernardo Inn spreads across landscaped grounds in North County San Diego, with low Spanish-influenced buildings arranged around courtyards, gardens and fountains. Rooms and suites favour warm timber, tiled fireplaces and private patios or balconies, many overlooking the golf course or mature planting. The spa has its own pool and garden setting, joining two further pools, an eighteen-hole course, AVANT and the more relaxed Veranda restaurant. Covered walkways, citrus trees and terracotta roofs give the property the feel of a long-established Californian estate.
