10/10 Excellent

I loved the beautifully landscaped gardens, amazing architecture and the peaceful setting of the inn. The owner is so sweet and was very attentive to our needs. The entire time I was at the inn I felt completely relaxed. The owner provided us with a healthy breakfast which was put inside a picnic basket. It was very nice to have the option to take the picnic basket to the beach or eat on the lovely grounds. I will go back again if I go to San Diego.
