The hustle and bustle of normal life
You can escape many things in the Ventana Inn. The hustle and bustle of normal life. The sensation of being rushed and short of time.
Lean back and relax. This is what real holidays are all about. The Ventana Inn understands; so your poolside peace will not be disturbed by children playing, and the restaurant caters purely for adult palates. In fact, the Inn takes care of everything. Including details like putting binoculars, hiking sticks and umbrellas in your room, so you can enjoy Big Sur to the max.
Immediately outside your door you’ll have 243 acres of private estate, including rolling Californian meadows, a fragrant forest climbing up the hillside and stunning views down plunging canyons. A little further afield lies the Carmel River State Beach and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park – making Ventana Inn a perfect location for exploring California’s Big Sur landscapes whilst taking a luxury, tailor-made holiday to the USA.
