The glassed-in parlor and many guest rooms at this 1899 Mediterranean-style villa have stunning ocean views. The inn is furnished with exquisite antiques, and the owner's collection of classic race cars is on display in the patio area. In the rooms, thoughtful details such as robes, rocking chairs, and nightly turn-down combine in luxuriant comfort. Lavish breakfasts—and winemaker dinners of up to 12 courses—are served on lace-clad tables set with china, crystal, and silver. Because of the fragility of the antiques, the inn is not suitable for children. Pros: Romantic, fancy breakfast, ocean views. Cons: Not child-friendly, sits on a busy thoroughfare.
