Along the Pacific Ocean, within the Del Monte Forest and accessible via 17-Mile Drive, Casa Palmero at Pebble Beach is an intimate Mediterranean-style estate with 24 private rooms and is part of the Pebble Beach Resorts portfolio which also includes The Lodge at Pebble Beach and The Inn at Spanish Bay. Reminiscent of a luxurious villa, through the private horseshoe-shaped driveway, guests walk along trellised walkways and tiled patios then pass by the small outdoor fountain alongside a lush green garden. Just past the fountain, the main building houses a living room, library, billiard room and daily in the afternoon, guests are welcomed to complimentary wine, cocktails or beer at the spacious bar and lounge alongside the fireplace.

Just steps from the main house, the outside patio invites guests for a morning read or for afternoon relaxation alongside the heated outdoor pool. The accommodations are located surrounding the Mediterranean-style estate, each offering wood-burning fireplaces and oversized soaking tubs. Ranging from 585 square feet to the 1,268 square-foot Palmero Suite – which also provides a private outdoor courtyard with whirlpool spa and lounge seating off master bedroom – guests can relax on comfortable furnishings or a day-bed alongside its windows, or luxury amenities including fresh flowers delivered daily, in-room complimentary breakfast and more. Guests of Casa Palmero also are welcomed to grab the ear of a personal coordinator to customize everything from golf or tennis tournaments, spa services and other activities.
