Famous for its striking Russian-inspired architecture: dramatic rough-hewn timbers, stained glass and burnished-copper domes, there’s no place quite like St Orres. On the property’s fairytale-like, wild mushroom-strewn 90 acres, hand-built cottages range from rustic to luxurious. The inn’s fine restaurant is worth the splurge, with inspired California cuisine in one of the coast’s most romantic rooms.
