Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This 1913 house designed by San Diego's first important architect, Irving Gill, is the setting for this cultured and elegant B&B. Reconfigured as lodging, the house has lost none of its charm; and its appropriately unfrilly period furnishings add to the sense of history. The inn also features lovely enclosed gardens and a cozy library and sitting room. Sherry and fresh-cut flowers await you in every room, some of which feature a fireplace or ocean view. Each room has a private bathroom, most of which are on the compact side. The furnishings are tasteful and cottage-style, with plenty of historic photos of La Jolla. Gourmet breakfast is served wherever you desire -- dining room, patio, sun deck, or in your room. Picnic baskets (extra charge) are available with a day's notice.
