A colorful architect-designed adobe with Italian influence, it's a nice retreat for couples or families. There's curvy, rambling stairways and nooks, an overgrown garden, and tasteful rooms with snug quilts. Children can enjoy the playroom and swings. The owners arrange excursions around the region. For lunch, the restaurant offers a set menu (S80), with a vegetarian option.
