Hastings House, Salt Spring Island, BC On a remarkably sunny Gulf Island west of Vancouver, this estate from the 1940s consists of 22 acres of well-tended harbor front gardens, a reproduction 11th-century Tudor-style Manor House (perfect for daily afternoon tea), and several renovated historic buildings. All rooms have fireplaces and deep tubs. The dining room turns out delicious regional dinners like locally farmed lamb and duck.
