San Ysidro Ranch900 San Ysidro LaneSanta Barbara, California, 93108United States RATES & ROOMS: 795 - 3990 USD 40 Rooms & Suites Book Now EXPERIENCE: Nestled into the lush Montecito foothills, San Ysidro Ranch has provided a tranquil retreat for discriminating travelers for over a century. Guests are drawn to this legendary hideaway for its blend of exquisite natural beauty, romantic heritage, and classic luxury. Myth and history mingle in the fragrant gardens where Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier exchanged vows; in the setting of John and Jackie Kennedy's honeymoon retreat. Forty one individually decorated private cottages and suites wind along San Ysidro's hillside creek- and tree-lined paths. Built in classic bungalow style, most offer plush king-size beds with fine linens, fireplaces and patios. Recently renovated suites and cottages feature hot tubs on private outdoor patios with outdoor rain showers, hand-cut stone or Old World masonry fireplaces, radiant-heated bathroom floors, flat-screen TVs, and hand-selected antique furnishings. Located in a 19th-century citrus packing house, The Stonehouse features a relaxing lounge with full bar service and a separate dining room with crackling fireplace and creekside views. Weather permitting, dine under the stars on the ocean view deck - a wood-burning fireplace and heated stone flooring provide year-round comfort. The chef’s regional cuisine is prepared with a palate of herbs and vegetables harvested from the on-site garden.
