Located in Carmel Valley, one of the finest wine growing regions in Northern California, the Bernardus Lodge has been ranked in the top twenty resorts in the nation by Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report. You and your guest will stay in a premium garden room for two, complete with beamed ceilings, a private wine pantry, and French doors that open onto a spacious private patio with sweeping mountain and garden views. Surrounded by a vineyard with the Santa Lucia mountains rising majestically in the background, the Bernardus Lodge was created with the idea of offering the perfect fusion of fine country living with a quality of service offered only in choice European hotels. Venture a little from the resort, and you will find opportunites for play at championship golf courses, horseback riding and hiking on mountain trails on over 4,400 acres of mountain trails, and whale watching, kayaking, and scuba diving in Monterey Bay. Visit the nearby Carmel Valley Village for wine tasting and antique shopping or Carmel-by-the-Sea to browse through quaint art galleries and boutiques.
