This rural retreat is stretched across three stunning acres of Californian countryside in the heart of San Diego’s North County. Surrounded by eucalyptus, pepper and palm trees, the fresh air invites a deep sense of relaxation and this continues when you step inside this traditional Spanish home. It’s hard not to be mesmerised by the views, which fill the home with a luminous quality, and with a large living and dining area, there are plenty of comfy spots to sit and admire the beauty. Upstairs, the bedrooms have their own individual charm and character, with ornate features, like four-poster beds and antique furniture, lending a regal tone — you may well feel like royalty when you wake up and look out onto the lush gardens. After a restful night’s sleep, make your way down to the swimming pool for a revitalising dip, before eating breakfast on the patio. Spend your day relaxing on the grounds, or if you’re in the mood for fun, there’s plenty to keep you entertained with a pool table, pinball machines and a ping-pong table. If you want to see the great outdoors, there are also incredible hiking and mountain biking trails that start moments from... your front door. As the day draws to a close, light up the fire pit table on the terrace and bathe in the glow of this magical setting with your loved ones.
