    The location of this property is absolutely stunning, nestled in the hills above a grove of citrus trees with breathtaking views of the beautiful mountains of California. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with lovely private patios to enjoy the scenery. The service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast at the on-site restaurant is delicious, and the ambiance is perfect for a relaxing meal. Additionally, the facilities are well-maintained and there are plenty of amenities to enhance your stay.

    There were a few issues with the housekeeping service, as mentioned by some guests, which could have been improved.

    A Magical Anniversary Celebration

    We just experienced a magical 40th Anniversary celebration at a stunning European hideaway. The grounds and buildings were in pristine condition. The staff, especially Alba Diaz, made sure we had VIP treatment and a perfect itinerary. Vicente delivered sumptuous breakfasts to our cottage, making us feel like part of the family. The food, especially at Plow and Angel and Stonehouse, was some of the most memorable we've had. Our anniversary dinner was spectacular. San Ysidro Ranch is definitely a bucket list destination!

    I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The cleanliness was impeccable, with spotless rooms and well-maintained facilities. The hotel provided convenient parking and transportation options. The location was stunning, nestled in the private cave and surrounded by the beautiful hills of the Los Padres National Forest. I enjoyed a breathtaking hike up to the San Ysidro falls. The hotel also offered two fantastic restaurants where I had delicious meals. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable.

    Nothing bad to say.

    The free snacks and soft drinks were a nice touch in the room. The bed was comfy and location was convenient to nearby attractions.

    The noise from the construction next door was unbearable and disruptive to our sleep. Additionally, the furniture was dated and could use an upgrade.

    From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with exceptional service that catered to all our luxurious needs. the exclusive amenities in our room stood out, especially the private facilities. the location advantages were breathtaking, with stunning and tranquil grounds that had beautiful flowers and fruit trees everywhere we turned.

    Although our stay was exceptional, we could not help but notice that the room temperature was not warm enough on a cold night. We also wish the charging points were more accessible as we needed them to work.
