At the entrance to town, a small path leads up the steep hill to this charming B&B, owned
by a former flight attendant and all-round world traveler who found a small slice of para-
dise to call her own. Her quaint complex has two guest rooms and a garden full of hum-
mingbirds. Soak the night away in a huge outdoor Jacuzzi in the garden. Two-night min-
imum.
