Refined resort in the peaceful Carmel Valley amid oak-covered hills with a backdrop of the Santa Lucia Mountains, 15 minutes from Carmel. Nine adobe-style buildings house 57 guest quarters featuring king-size feather beds, sitting areas, fireplaces, lavish baths and patios/balconies. The rustic main building contains an inviting living room- lounge, a cozy library, casual indoor/outdoor bistro and the renowned and newly renovated Marinus restaurant, serving California-French wine country cuisine in a Provençal-like atmosphere. Outdoor lap pool, two tennis courts, fitness center and spa; golf privileges at 19 nearby courses.

From the Hideaway Report

About 20 years ago, at a wine tasting, I met Ben Pon, the owner of a new winery in the Carmel valley, who offered me a glass of his flagship bottling, a Bordeauxstyle red called Marinus. I found it stylish, smooth and well-balanced. In 1999, I learned with considerable interest that Pon had opened a resort in his vineyard. Not far from Carmelby-the-Sea and just a short distance into the valley, bernardus Lodge turned out to be ideally located. With 57 suites amid 200 rolling acres, I found it exceptionally appealing. Today, the handsome rooms have a Mediterranean feel, elegant stone fireplaces, French doors that lead out to spacious terraces or balconies, ample baths and floods of California sunlight. A two-acre organic garden provides much of the produce for the superb Marinus restaurant, whose fare is complemented by a 35,000-bottle cellar. on my recent trip, I was gratified to find that Bernardus lodge remains an outstanding destination in the lesserknown, but well worth knowing, Carmel valley wine country.

Marinus and wickets restaurant in bernardus are great. There spa is equally great. Just a couple miles east is the town of Carmel valley. There are a couple of winery tasting rooms the best being Talbots and bernardus . The corkscrew cafe in town is low key funky and fun . It is connected to Geroris winery tasting room. If your friends are golfers then a stop at pepple beach for cocktails above the 18th hole is fun. South of Carmel is big sur . A long day trip but lovely especially if you stop to have lunch at post ranch inn or ventana inn . Dramatic views . Of course Carmel has too much to offer to list.

My husband,myself and another couple are getting ready to stay at Bernardus in a couple of weeks. We have been to Carmel before but it has been a number of years since our last visit. I am hoping to receive some feedback from others about some "must see" places to eat and activities in the Carmel/Monterey area. The couple we are traveling with are celebrating a special occasion (a 60th birthday) so we want it to be a very special trip. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated. Thank you, Ashley
