Nestled among lavender fields, olive groves, and blooming rose gardens, the Ranch’s 38 bungalow-style cottages each feature private entrances and individually curated interiors adorned with antiques, global artwork, four-poster canopy beds, mason-crafted fireplaces, and spacious private gardens. Guests can unwind in indoor/outdoor rain showers or soak in oversized, hydro-massage sunken spas. Idyllic garden pathways lead to indulgent amenities including a hillside pool, a full-service Salon & Spa housed in a charming storybook cottage, and award-winning dining at The Stonehouse—set in the original 1889 citrus packing house.
