LYTHWOOD LODGE

At the end of an almond-blossom-lit driveway, this high-altitude manor house was built by Italian prisoners of war. The lounges in the main building are a delight to explore, with their masterpiece clocks, miniature knick-knacks and fireplaces for colder nights. From family cottages to executive suites, the rooms are equally well decorated. They are spacious and bright, some with private patios. You'll also love the park planted with century-old trees and the discreet, nature-colored swimming pool.
