A couple spend a looooong time arguing and the hotel was old old finishing a and old everything

Unique, and beautiful but the dog was a little stressful to have on the property.

Beautiful property

Beautiful place, kind staff. We are glad we found this place!

OK, this is the sort of place you wither love or hate. It is a little quirky to say the least, it was built in the 1930's, and is a beautiful property out in East County, but easy commute into San Diego. Check in was easy, call the number posted, you are greeted by friendly staff, and a complimentary glass of wine. The hallways and bedrooms are dark paneling, so I could see that would not be everyone's taste. Look at the room photos. folks. It is VERY serene & relaxing, there are only six rooms, so you do feel like you are staying with family. There is no front desk, and when you check out you leave the key in the room and leave the door open. The property is amazing for an evening stroll, swim-the pool is huge, fabulous game room by pool. We did a little wine tasting; Happy Hour is 5-7pm withe the most fun bartender I ever met! He took us on the wine cellar tour, absolutely amazing. Now then, if you don't like dogs or are allergic, there are two dogs roaming freely that live there. Luna is a 7-month-old Belgian Malinois, so is a little intimidating at first, once she recognizes you, she is fine, she is doing her job of protecting the property. She did bark a little in the day, but the nights are quiet and restful. Lots of comfortable seating areas in the wrap around loggia. Fridge in room, plus each room updated with mini-split a/c. There is a microwave in pool house to use. I would suggest a small table across opening to kitchen with fruit/juice & pastries in the morning.

The atmosphere here is peaceful and serene. You feel like family and the staff feels like family you like to be around. The history and architecture are a great escape from the city. I look forward to visiting again

Place is beautiful!!! Worth the price. They do have a dog that barks alot at people but my husband didn't mind, the room made a noise all night that kept me up dont know if its a plumbing issue. But overall not bad for what you pay. Love that there is not alot of people there feels very private we will be coming back.

This is a unique and beautiful property. I never saw another customer even though they were fully booked and I like this. I had an issue with the shower and they were super responsive. There was a mix up regarding payment but the owner handled it in a timely matter. I wish the bed and pillows were a smidge more comfy but I’m a picky sleeper. My husband was fine. The pool area is very pretty, there is a garden area, a pond, pretty lights at night. They gave us a glass of delicious wine and it was really thoughtful. There are two friendly dogs on the property. Luna the molinois is super cute. You are given an actual key to your room and the property. The staff is super friendly and personable. I like the overall vibe and I would go back. Make sure you read how to get to the property so you don’t get confused or lost.

This is a really tough place to review. It’s a really interesting building, and there is a fantastic pool. The place is pretty funky, and our bathroom would not work for anyone with even minor mobility issues. The property is impossible to find at night, if you haven’t already found it in the daytime. I enjoyed my stay, because I don’t like business hotels with no personality. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful.

Booked as an ADA room but the shower handle was broken and the regular shower had sprung a leak. A shame really as the bathroom was really well thought out, just not usable. The pool lift was not working, but it wouldn’t have mattered as there was no accessible route to the pool. The main part of the house is the only accessible area. The gardens are beautiful and mostly accessible. We enjoyed our stay overall. It’s more like staying at a relatives place than a hotel or resort.

Such a Beautiful place!! The room I had Merlot was very unique & quirky!! Staff were all very friendly & helpfull. I will definitely stay again when in the area!!

Will absolutely stay here again. My only complaint was the Jacuzzi and pool got full of people who weren’t actually staying at the resort.

The grounds were beautiful, and the few staff members that we encountered were nice. But it was difficult to find any staff members even upon checking in. And it was not clear which door to enter in order to do the check-in. Inside there was a dog that was loose which initially startled me with its barking, but ended up being overly friendly. The room is decent, with a large balcony that overlooked the pool area. The first night there was a very beautiful view from the balcony. But Saturday morning came and we were sitting on the balcony having coffee, and apparently there were workers on the roof near our balcony. We could see the shadows from their heads. It was quite uncomfortable and lacked privacy. We were not informed that there would be anyone on the roof near our balcony working. And the work continued on Sunday morning as well. We left Saturday morning for an excursion, and put the "please service" sign on the door for housekeeping. But unfortunately, our room was missed. When we came back, we couldn't seem to find anyone at first to let them know. When I was unpacking on Friday evening, I wanted to hang up my clothing, but there were no hangers. Apparently hangers were put in the closet Saturday evening, but I didn't notice them until Sunday when I was checking out. Unfortunately, the room wasn't as clean as it should be expected to be. Like I said, the grounds are beautiful, and the staff is nice, but unfortunately, we won't be back.

Wish they could add a dining experience but their kitchen is closed

It’s so beautiful. Service is amazing. Nice people.

The rooms are beautiful I believe they only have about six rooms that they rent the week and we say it was my husband and I and one other couple in the whole place so super beautiful super quiet and maybe a 5-minute drive to restaurants nearby I would definitely stay there again

Could hear people talk above us and out in the hall until 3:30 AM. Not very clean and needs to be repaired/remodeled. It’s someone’s house and so he doesn’t let you go into the kitchen to use the microwave or anything else which is kind of weird. Not a good place to stay if you’re used to a hotel or a bed-and-breakfast or any place else that’s welcoming.

Wanted a staycation to just getaway for the weekend with the husband. Wanted a quiet place to decompress. They delivered. Not you fancy, frou-frou, Four Seasons. But if you want a beautiful escape from the world, this is it. Enjoyed the wine tasting and touring the wine cellar (sooooo cool!). Lounged out by the pool. Did yoga in the meditation garden. Fed the koi fish. Definitely want to go back. It felt like we were going back in time to Tuscany or the south of France.

My wife surprised me with a lovely trip to this secret hideaway. Not only was it perfect for us.The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed and more. Pierre and Patty's assistance and politeness gave us the most welcome stay ever. I literally told my wife when we woke up after the first night that I felt as if we were at a family members house. Such a cozy and pleasant environment. Patty welcomed us with a complimentary glass of white or red wine upon check-in. Pierre made sure that we had everything we needed for a great evening. He even offered a speaker for our music and to heat up the jacuzzi if we liked to use it. I mean super friendly. The game room was so cool and we had it all to ourselves to play arcade games, pool, ping pong and dance. I cant wait to return with our daughters. Unfortunately the rain didn't allow us to explore the property like we would have given dryer conditions. Great service, clean, quiet and spacious what else could you ask for, we LOVED IT!!
