Sausalito: Casa Madrona Hotel; hotel review

101 North 

Casa Madrona Hotel  

801 Bridgeway.  63 rooms.  Some kitchens & fireplaces.  Full-service spa.  Pets ok.  Valet parking $24. 

Nestled against a picturesque hill above Bridgeway, the Casa Madrona Hotel offers lodging in either a converted 1885 Victorian house in back--the oldest structure in Sausalito, it is now dubbed The Mansion--or in newer, tastefully decorated contemporary rooms sprinkled down the hillside amid fragrant, blooming gardens and featuring water views.

The Mansion features tall doors, lovely original wood and tile work, and an ultra-luxurious Alexandrite Suite that is popular with celebs and which has its own exercise room and a secret passage.  Think Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd from the past; lips are more tightly sealed about the present due to non-disclosure clauses.

Poggio Trattoria

Reservations advised.  Valet parking $24.

Under separate ownership, elegant Poggio Trattoria specializes in classic northern Italian fare.  Diners feast on delectable items such as crostini topped with Tuscan chicken liver, twice-cooked Tuscan vegetable-and-bread soup, and delicate wood-roasted whole fish with fennel.  Rustic pastas and grilled chicken are also very good, and don’t miss the killer Caesar salad.
