San Ysidro Ranch, Santa Barbara, California, USA
Nestled amongst lush, undulating hills where miles of every shade of green defy the famous hot Californian climate, San Ysidro oozes charm, sophistication and intimacy. But it's the service, farm-to-table cuisine using home-grown organic produce, spectacular gardens and 17 miles of challenging hiking trails on property that have, quite rightly, earned this place its enviable international reputation.
