Pretty as a daisy, this quaint craftsman-style cottage makes for a romantic bolthole in the heart of Solvang. For those who have not been here or heard of this small town in California's Santa Ynez Valley, it's known for its many wineries, but most importantly for the unexpected Danish-style architecture that's linked to its heritage. You can walk everywhere in this vibrant little town and discover its many eateries, shops and, of course, bakeries. Pick up a Danish and enjoy it with your morning cup of Joe on your front porch, before driving to a winery for a tasting or to the rugged coast for a dip in the ocean – it sounds idyllic, doesn't it?
