Temecula, CA – THE INN AT EUROPA VILLAGE – A Taste of Europe in Wine Country…

THE INN AT EUROPA VILLAGE

www.europavillage.com

Why You’ll Love It

• European ambiance in Southern California
• Best “Breakfast Experience” in Southern California from Chef Dean
• Set on five acres of rolling green hills

Take a trip to Europe sans the 12-hour flight. Spanish, French, and Italian culture inspire the charming décor and delicious wine of The INN at Europa Village. This recently remodeled B&B may offer a new take on Temecula’s famed wine country, but the take-it-slow feel is all Old World.

Start your day off right. And by “right” we mean with Chef Dean’s “Breakfast Experience” prepared with seasonal, homegrown ingredients. You’re going to need fuel for a day spent experiencing some of the best that Temecula Valley Wine Country has to offer, such as hot air balloon rides, horseback rides, and olive oil tasting.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Pull up a chair around the patio’s six-foot fire pit for nightly sangria hour—we can’t think of a better way to celebrate a day well spent.

Lewiston, NY – THE BARTON HILL HOTEL & SPA – Historical Inn Near Niagara Falls

THE BARTON HILL HOTEL & SPA

www.bartonhillhotel.com

Why You’ll Love It

• Riverside bed and breakfast
• Minutes from Niagara Falls and historic Lewiston
• Breathtaking landscapes

Living on the edge doesn’t mean you have to leave behind the Italian linens. Soak up the spray of Niagara Falls and then hit up a boutique inn that’s just as grand. Historical? Yes. Just for your grandmother? No. Modern amenities make this warm, vintage scene a hot spot.

While foliage-dotted landscapes keep you wide-eyed when you’re outside, The Barton Hill Hotel & Spa sweeps you off your feet from the inside. Flat-screen TVs, WiFi, and iPod stations keep nostalgic décor in check—and then there’s the full-service spa. All this, steps from the Niagara River.

Kick off your heels, warm your feet by your private fireplace, and let all your troubles bedammed.
