Fodor's Expert Review Casa Palmero

This exclusive boutique hotel evokes a stately Mediterranean villa, where rooms are decorated with sumptuous fabrics and fine art. Each one has a wood-burning fireplace and heated flooring; some rooms have private outdoor patios with in-ground whirlpools. A European-style breakfast is served in-room, and complimentary cocktail service is offered each evening in the main hall and library. The adjacent Spa at Pebble Beach is state-of-the-art, and guests have the use of all facilities at the Lodge at Pebble Beach and the Inn at Spanish Bay.
