Fodor's Expert Review The Marlborough

Follow a lavender-lined driveway to this 1901-built Victorian convent, now a luxury boutique hotel. Its ten rooms are decorated in an eclectic contemporary style that mixes old and new. Surrounding the building, 16 acres of established gardens and lawns appear to ramble into the surrounding vineyards (tours with head gardener on request). The heated outdoor pool is open from October to May, and six lawn tennis courts are available for guests to use. The hotel's on-site restaurant, Harvest, provides a unique dining experience with a deck opening onto the Orangery.
