From the reviews
Chateau Coralini was wonderful and our savior in need. On Dec 26, we got stranded in Carmel when our booked hotel was unable to accommodate us due to a power outage. With everyone going to Monterey, I looked land inwards and could not have found a better place. We booked over the phone and headed there immediately.
This was my third stay at Chateau Coralini, and every time I come back, it feels just as magical as the first. The property is absolutely stunning—elegant, peaceful, and so well cared for. The big, beautiful mansion has a timeless charm that makes you feel like you've stepped into another world.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Chateau when we went out to visit my sister, who lives in the Las Palmas Ranch subdivision.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Chateau, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything organized—from a smooth check-in to immaculate accommodations and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately made us feel at home.
Getting married at Chateau Coralini
A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Chateau Coralini doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
