This vine-smothered bed-and-breakfast in a three-story manor amid specimen shade trees and English-style flower gardens is a short drive from Monterey’s shops, restaurants and golf courses. Many of the 10 rooms feature separate sitting areas with working fireplaces, copper detailing and stained-glass windows and skylights. Other homey details range from plush feather beds to book-lined walls. Most suites include dressing rooms, mahogany walk-in closets and large bay windows with window seats. Though the hotel lacks a formal restaurant, a gourmet vegetarian breakfast is served in an elegant dining room, and a wine and cheese reception is held in the afternoon. There is also an intimate spa room, complete with water fountains and a fireplace. The Charles Maud-designed Del Monte Golf Course is nearby.
The stand-alone Garden Cottage, encompassing a patio facing a private garden and a two-person Jacuzzi tub, offers the most privacy.
Lowest Rate: Dovecote Room, $330; Editor’s Choice: Ashford Suite, $440.
