Fodor's Expert Review San Ysidro Ranch

900 San Ysidro La., Montecito, California, 93108, USA Fodor's Choice

At this romantic hideaway on a historic property in the Montecito foothills—where John and Jackie Kennedy spent their honeymoon and Oprah sends her out-of-town visitors—guest cottages are scattered among groves of orange trees and flower beds. All have down comforters and fireplaces, most have private outdoor spas, and one has its own pool. Seventeen miles of hiking trails crisscross 500 acres of open space surrounding the property.

PROS

  • rooms have private outdoor spas
  • 17 miles of hiking trails nearby
  • home to iconic Plow & Angel Bistro and Stonehouse restaurant

CONS

  • ultra-expensive
  • too remote for some
  • noise from bridal parties travels to some suites
