Ranch-chic calm in Carmel Valley

Bernardus Lodge & Spa balances warm conviviality with restraint, where earthy, layered interiors keep things intentionally simple rather than ornamental. Days unfold across a 28-acre estate of vineyards, orchards, and gardens, built for quiet ease instead of crowds. When it is time to unwind, the junior Olympic-sized heated outdoor pool sets the pace.

Beautiful Property and amazing landscaping. Our room had a large hedge of flowering star jasmine right in front of our room patio area. I'm very allergic specifically to star jasmine so we couldn't enjoy opening the back patio door or sit out for very long. . Might be good idea to ask if there are any specific plants that may trigger allergies? Aside from that, all was fine. We appreciated all the complementary goodies in our room.

Beautiful and tranquil get away nestled in the Carmel Valley. Delicious restaurant on property (Lucia) and wonderful homegrown wine (Bernardus label - the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are delicious). Close to Carmel-by-the-Sea and everything good!
