Poised on a 297-acre country estate in suburban San Diego, California, is the Mediterranean style Rancho Bernardo Inn San Diego - a Golf and Spa resort.

Within two miles are the Bernardo winery and the shopping and restaurants available at the Mercado and Bernardo Plaza.

Contemporary French cuisine is spotlighted at El Bizcocho, where specialties including crab stuffed skate wing and fairytale pumpkin ravioli are served amidst Mexican-colonial décor and wrought-iron chandeliers. La Taberna lounge provides fine wine, cocktails and nightly live piano music. The casual Veranda Bar and Grille serves California Mediterranean fare overlooking the 18th hole, and the Sports Bar boasts games, billiards and pub fare. A wood-beam ceiling, sculptures, oriental rugs and formal European portraits embellish the main building's antique-filled lobby. Pathways meander throughout the resort's landscaped grounds and courtyards with Italian fountains provide scenic retreats. A 24-hour fitness center hosts an array of cardiovascular and strength training equipment, and two outdoor pools and 12 tennis courts are provided. The Rancho Bernardo Inn Spa offers pampering treatments including the cocoa butter wrap, vanilla sugar glow and the aromatherapy massage. A valley backdrop with tree-lined fairways is home to the 18-hole championship resort course. Three nine hole courses are available one mile away and personal coaching is offered for a fee. A children's camp is available seasonally at the property.

Custom furnishings, original artwork, warm colors and antiques embellish each of the 287 guestrooms and suites. Furnished patios or balconies frame views of the valley, golf course or landscaped garden, and bathrooms feature soaking tubs, dual vanities and Aveda toiletries. Amenities include cable television with premium channels, and wired and wireless internet access.

The hotel's professional resort course is the only course in San Diego to have hosted PGA and LPGA events.
