We had a wonderful stay at Chateau Coralini. This historic property is truly unique, and the rooms, architecture, and beautiful surrounding gardens speak for themselves. We stayed here while driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco via Highway 1 through Big Sur, and it turned out to be the perfect stop along the journey. The location is convenient, peaceful, and a great place to relax after a long day of driving. The charm and character of the property make it much more than just a place to stay—it feels like stepping into a different era. We really enjoyed exploring the grounds and taking in the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended for anyone doing the scenic Highway 1 road trip or looking for a memorable and unique stay on the California coast.

This was our 4th stay here. Great place to stay, very quiet, and comfortable. As well as being reasonably priced.

We stayed here for the SLH Sun Wind & Wine festival at Mer Soleil Vineyards and it was a good and convenient choice. We were pleased with our 2nd floor room. It was spacious and comfortable. As others have noted, the stairs are a bit steep but we had no issues with it. The downside of the property is that it feels quite impersonal. You check in like you would at an AirBnB rental. There is ostensibly an innkeeper on site but we never met (nor needed) them. There were also some difficulties getting our reservation payment process finalized. Even though we reserved via Booking.com, the property uses their own system and the information did not coordinate well. It took multiple messages back and forth with a remote service center before things got squared away. Knowing what i know now, I would just book direct if the rates aligned. BOTTOM LINE: A nice choice at a memorable but slightly quirky property. We would stay here again.

We came back again! This is our favorite place for Laguna Seca races: 8 minutes away from the race track entrance, very quiet (!) and remote, nestled into green park surroundings of a private gated community, but only 5-8 minute drive to downtown Salinas. We stayed two nights (FRI to SUN). The rooms are gorgeous and we always love the lush surroundings and serene vibe. The inn keepers are there to help, and after all the race noise and engine sounds it was fantastic to snuggle into bed at night with (free) popcorn and watch a movie after relaxing in the bubble bath. We will be back, for sure.

My all-time favorite vacation getaway escape to Monterey area. Everything about the property is fantastic for the value. I raise chickens. I felt at home to see they are raising hens and have wild turkeys visit the estate every morning. It’s centrally located to the highway and is located in a very friendly and quiet family housing neighborhood. For value, it’s a steal. For a romantic getaway, book it. Girls weekend or wedding parties, this is your spot to relax and enjoy your surroundings knowing your room is safe and secure. Bravo to the staff for making our anniversary trip special and moving our valuables safely to our room while we were out enjoying our vacation. We can’t wait come back.
