Recently, we had the pleasure of immersing ourselves in the
ultimate luxury and relaxation at the exquisite CordeValle Resort. Located just
an hour's drive from Danville, tucked away in San Martin between San Jose and
Monterey, this remarkable resort rests on a sprawling 1700-acre playground of
beauty, surrounded by the Santa Cruz mountains.
Derived from the enchanting Spanish
phrase 'el Courazon del valle,' meaning heart of the valley, CordeValle lives
up to its name by stealing hearts and captivating souls from the moment you
arrive. Avid golf enthusiasts will find themselves very happy on the resort's
world-class golf course, ingeniously crafted by the renowned Robert Trent Jones
Jr. Noteworthy accolades adorn this course, including being the distinguished
host of the 2016 US Women's Open, as well as the prestigious Fry's Open, and
thrilling college competitions. With tee options ranging from 5385 to 7300
yards, players of all skill levels can relish in the challenge presented by
this meticulously manicured course.
As we played golf down the lush
fairways and took in the breathtaking views reminiscent of the idyllic
landscapes of Wyoming, we couldn't help but feel a profound sense of awe,
especially considering the resort's close proximity to the bustling Silicon
Valley.
The indulgent experience doesn't end
with the golf course, as CordeValle boasts elegant and spacious accommodations
that cater to every need. From the luxurious Fairway Rooms to the cozy
Bungalows, opulent Villa Suites, and even the grand Fairway Homes, each abode
is adorned with goose down comforters, enticing fireplaces, original artwork,
and panoramic vistas that unfold like scenes from a celestial dream.
What truly sets CordeValle apart is
the unparalleled warmth and attentiveness of the service staff, who go above
and beyond to ensure that your stay becomes a cherished memory. Their
dedication is matched only by the exceptional amenities spanning the premises,
from the refreshing outdoor pool and well-maintained tennis courts to the rejuvenating
wellness center.
You may indulge your palate in the
delectable offerings of both Lions Peak Grill and One Iron Bar, where
breakfast, lunch, and dinner options await. The menus boast an array of
culinary delights that exceed even the most discerning of palates, perfectly
complemented by an extensive selection of wine, beer, and handcrafted
cocktails.
Beyond the resort lies an enchanting
adventure waiting to be discovered. The CordeValle property encompasses the
celebrated Clos LaChance winery, sprawled across 85 acres of picturesque land.
Guests can drive up to the winery, only 12 minutes away, indulging in wine
tastings, attending summer concerts, or even partaking in a spirited game of
bocce ball. We couldn't resist taking home a few bottles of the Reserve
Meritage to share with our friends in Danville, a reminder of the magical
moments we experienced.
For those seeking a respite after a
day on the greens, the Wellness Center has an array of revitalizing treatments.
And for those who prefer the rush of a different kind of match, tennis and
bocce courts await you.
In essence, CordeValle Resort stands
as a beacon of excellence, offering a world-class experience that caters to
every individual. It is the perfect escape from the demands and pressures of
daily life, providing an enchanting sanctuary that truly has "something
for everyone." We eagerly anticipate our return to this remarkable
destination, where luxury, relaxation, and pure bliss intertwine to create an
unforgettable experience.
