Best Place to Renew Your Vows

This Mediterranean-style mansion nestled in the foothills in Saratoga lends a certain magical quality to everything from celebrations to art events to live music. Built in 1912, its 175 acres were left by Sen. James Duval Phelan to California to be a place for all of those pursuits.
