Knight Moves: Cali Lodging

During our stay on the west coast, we were lucky enough to bunk up at a super nice resort called Terranea (I know, sounds much like terranium...adobe for reptiles). It's in Palos Verdes, which is south of LAX. About 30 minutes outside the craziness of LaLa Land, it was quiet and relaxing but still close enough to get into the city easily.

The grounds were beautiful...besides the obvious aesthetic benefits of being right on the coastline overlooking Catalina Island, the whole place was landscaped meticulously and the buildings/architecture were timeless and thoughtful. Lots of nice touches like fire pits and walking trails scattered throughout the property. We loved it and would like to go back when the weather is a little warmer.
