Rosewood Sand Hill
"In the middle of a business park, you find this lovely property that takes you to a serene and relaxing faraway feel. On a 21-acre site in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, it’s in the heart of the venture-capital corridor and one mile from Stanford University. Northern California–inspired interiors combine neutral hues with tones of walnut, cherry, and cedar. Overlooking the mountains or courtyard gardens, top-notch rooms with private balconies have artwork and marble bathrooms. Complete with an open wood-burning kitchen, Madera offers excellently prepared American cuisine indoors or out; the Pool Bar & Grill serves snacks and cocktails poolside. The Sense spa has fragrant gardens that mimic the surroundings; it gave one guest "the best massage I have ever received."
