The hotel

Giving you a fresh outlook on Vancouver Island (quite literally), this mountainside hideaway creeps up towards Malahat’s summit to reveal coast and mountain views from its perch 1,880 feet above sea level — and yet it’s still just half an hour from Victoria. Covering 95 acres near wineries and Goldstream Provincial Park, it may have been inspired by Italy from its architecture to its menus, but it’s still completely in tune with its stunning Canadian surroundings, with farm-to-fork food at Summit Restaurant, island-sourced ingredients in Tuscan Spa, and views of Saanich Inlet through the floor-to-ceiling windows fringing its mineral-rich saltwater pool. Even its bar mixes Italy’s love of racing with the local influence of Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit, with its Driver’s Lounge rich in nostalgia from its crackling fire to its vinyl record soundtrack.

As usual, Cindy and Jack made sure we were taken care of on the patio with lovely views of the Saanich Inlet. Mary (aka mum) has the special Eggs Florentine. I had the steak and eggs. Excellent cuisine c/o Chef Mario. The Villa is a hidden gem, just 15 minutes ourside of Victoria. Their al fresco ambience is just as excellent as dine in. Try it… Read more

As a well seasoned traveler I never expected to find my favourite get-away right here in my backyard. I can't say anything negative as everything from the service, Covid protocols,room,view,amenities,(the restaurant I'll have to try net time), feeling of being on top of the world - is beyond reproach.

As a well seasoned traveler I never expected to find my favourite get-away right here in my backyard. I can't say anything negative as everything from the service, Covid protocols,room,view,amenities,(the restaurant I'll have to try net time), feeling of being on top of the world - is beyond reproach. It is a healing and luxurious feeling waking up with a view of a lifetime. Birds singing everywhere, eagles resting right in front of your window (bino's handy when you need them). There was no need to interact with anyone on site after obtaining room keys and checking in. Not sure what else to say aside from - you gotta stay here. Read less

We spent a lovely weekend here in March and were unexpectedly upgraded to a Junior suite with an amazing view. The balcony was an amazing place to sit and watch the sunset and listen to the quiet paradise. The deep jacuzzi tub and large King sized bed were super luxurious as were the heavy robes. We had a fantastic breakfast at the resorts restaurant; again with a spectacular view. I don’t know that I will ever be able to have eggs Benedict anywhere else ever again. The evening cocktails were equally satisfying in the restaurant. We will certainly be back for a supper meal. The resort is close enough to the city that travel time is not an issue yet it is far enough away that it feels like a true getaway. Highly recommended. Read less
