What an incredible place to spend days in the Monterey Bay area. The home and area are so beautiful. I'll add my amazement to the others who found a lovely place to stay while exploring the Bay. The home is stunning. It really is a Tuscan getaway. I can't say enough about the beauty of the gardens. The hosts have made this such a secluded, wonderful spot to stay and enjoy the home, gardens and drive to beaches and restaurants. (We did walk to the beach once...you youngsters and active seniors will have no problem...but we are not very active and it was quite a trek. We did end up driving to 3-4 different beaches to enjoy the area.)
Bed was very comfy with plenty of pillows and blankets. There were a couple of hot-ish days and not having air conditioning was not an issue at all. The windows and doors with the many plants/trees keep it very comfortable. We probably ate at the place more than is expected...it really is more of a hotel like kitchen. But the restaurants were so much fun to explore.
Hosts were so welcoming and easy to communicate with. This really is a jewel.
