Sprawling beaches, expansive deserts, fine wines and gourmet food are only some of the many attractions that the American state of California boasts. Additionally, this Golden State is a crowd-puller for its castle-like stately buildings such as Sleeping Beauty Castle and Hogwarts Castle. While these are not actual castles from the Middle Ages, the kind you would find in Europe, they are architectural marvels nonetheless. You can go on interesting tours, click tons of photographs and admire the sheer beauty and magic of these structures. There are also castle-style accommodations at various locations in the state, such as Los Angeles, Bonsall, Auburn, San Luis Obispo and Laguna Hills, where you can check into lavish accommodations and enjoy a complete king- or queen-like experience. Scroll down to read about the best Airbnb castles in California, USA.
