If you're looking for a country style escape in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, I would highly recommend Hotel Ynez.
This single story hotel is laid out in a horseshoe shape. The tastefully appointed guest units are on the outer sides of the "shoe", the reception area, lounge, breakfast area, gift shop, pool & spa areas are in the center of the shoe. The shoe surrounds a nicely landscaped area where you can relax below a gigantic oak in cushioned wood chairs by two gas fire pits, a bocce court and a grass area.
My room was large, with a sink-into-comfort King bed. There's a large flat screen on the opposite wall, a writing table, and squeaky-clean and well-appointed bathroom. My room also features a small kitchenette with a beverage stocked vintage style fridge, and a well-stocked bar with top shelf liquor and bubbly, interesting hard cover bar craft books and a Nespresso machine. Dimmable lighting is featured inside and outside.
The outside front patio has a round top country table and a hand-knit hammock should you want to doze off in the fresh Santa Ynez Valley air.
The hotel is located conveniently in the heart of the Valley. A car or bicycle ride to the sights and tastes of Solvang, Santa Ynez, Ballard and Los Olivos are just minutes away.
I stayed on Monday and Tuesday nights and predictably things were extra tranquil and relaxing at the Hotel Ynez and in the Santa Ynez Valley.
