Allegretto Vineyard Resort Paso Robles

Palazzolike perch delivers casual yet refined luxury.

Paso Robles’s future as a glamorous wine destination arrived a few years ago in the form of this beautifully realized resort that continues to please. The full-service Allegretto Vineyard Resort Paso Robles provides a perfect perch from which to venture out to the wineries—or stick around to enjoy the pool, restaurant, and spa.

If you decide to stay put and a sudden urge to taste wine overtakes you, no problem. Hosts pour Allegretto Wines, some from grapes grown on the 20-acre property, in a salon off the lobby. Wines of note include Trio, a white blend of Vermentino, Viognier, and Roussanne, along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat reds.  

21st-Century Panache

The palazzolike Allegretto pays tribute to an enduring European aesthetic with a sweeping lobby staircase, high ceilings, a grand piazza, and strategically placed classical-style sculptures. Accents of note include the silky smooth Venetian plaster and fountainlike LED lobby chandelier, the latter an example of the seamless integration of 21st-century technology and panache.

Plenty of Marble

The spacious high-ceilinged Allegretto guest rooms and suites have wood-inlay furnishings, plush bedding, and bathrooms with plenty of marble. The Cello Ristorante & Bar serves sophisticated Tuscan-inspired cuisine. Its staff, like that of the rest of the hotel, is efficient and polite. The goal throughout resort, casual yet refined luxury, is achieved at every turn.

Off-Season Deals

Tip: During the summer, at harvest, and on special-event weekends the room rates can be high. Look for off-season deals on the hotel’s website or third-party sites, or sign up for the hotel’s newsletter.
