What the classifiers highlight

Ninety minutes north of Los Angeles in the Topatopa foothills, Spanish-style buildings from a 1923 golf course sit among olive trees, citrus and roses. Forbes highlights the Kuyam spa ritual, a hammam-style mud treatment drawn from Native American tradition, alongside Olivella's Italian-inflected California cooking and a working apiary where guests learn to keep bees.
