Northern California resort wraps multimillion-dollar upgrade

In northern California, CordeValle, formerly known as the Rosewood CordeValle, has unveiled its multimillion-dollar renovation. The 1,700-acre resort, in San Martin, has 45 suites, a reimagined culinary program, a golf course, new pickleball and tennis courts, a spa and meeting spaces. 

“We’re excited to welcome both new visitors and longtime guests to our reimagined California hideaway that has been a favorite amongst discerning travelers for years,” CordeValle Managing Director Luca Rutigliano said in a statement. “We look forward to ushering in the next era of our beloved property by unveiling unmatched luxury accommodations and an elevated culinary program accompanied by the five-star service and modern amenities that our guests have come to expect from CordeValle.”

Accommodations

The resort’s redesign combines a simplistic modern aesthetic with the influence of the Northern California surroundings. Sue Capelli has transformed the resort’s 45 guestrooms and suites into intimate private sanctuaries with modern furnishings, artwork and a soft color palette. 

Situated in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, CordeValle’s fairway rooms, villa suites and fairway homes (renovations of the fairway homes to be complete 2023), can accommodate anywhere from two to eight guests. The rooms have fireplaces, spa-inspired bathrooms with soaking tubs and separate showers and private outdoor space.

Food and Beverage

The culinary operations at CordeValle have been reimagined by Executive Chef Abraham Torre who oversees the property’s three culinary concepts. 

The resort’s signature restaurant, Il Vigneto, is scheduled to reopen in summer 2023. One Iron Bar overlooks the CordeValle golf course, and adjacent to the golf course, Lion’s Peak Grill offers outdoor seating.

Golf and Activities

The CordeValle Golf Course was designed by golf architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. The 7,360-yard, 18-hole, par-72 championship course recently went through a full remodel including fully releveled driving range and tee complexes, a higher-quality turf, completely resurfaced complexes across all 18 greens and sculpted contours that acknowledge the course’s surroundings. The course also has a three hole loop of par 3, par 4 and par 5 holes ideal for less experienced players or juniors. 

CordeValle has four newly resurfaced Plexicushion tournament tennis courts complete with ball machines and a pavilion for apres-tennis activities. The property has also opened two pickleball courts. 

The Spa at CordeValle has an outdoor pool and a new bocce garden with two oyster shell courts. 

As part of the Santa Clara wine region, CordeValle has 85 acres of vineyards on property. 

Meetings and Events

CordeValle offers a little more than 5,200 square feet of meeting space across nine event venues. Fully customizable with indoor and outdoor options, CordeValle’s meeting and event spaces can hold from five to 200 people.
