Hostería La Casa de Eugenia Finds Built in 1927, this lovely old building with
bright blue trim used to house the local historical society; no w it's a bed-and-breakfast.
Eugenia has moved to the States, but she smartly left the place in her charming br other
Agustín's hands. The delightful living r oom with its large fir eplace, piano, and color ful
sofas leads to five bedrooms, named by color. The verde (green) has a skylight that keeps
it bright throughout the day; all the rooms have comfortable beds with down comforters
and exquisite linens, gleaming white bathr ooms, and little else. F ive new rooms, as of
2007, blend modern amenities and bright colors with the inn 's historical feel. There's a
small new outdoor pool and J acuzzi. An amazingly decadent br eakfast is ser ved in the
bright dining room overlooking a small park.

La Raclette Finds The design of this appealing inn is a cr oss between something
you'd find in Morocco and Switzerland—molded white stucco interiors set off by carved
wooden shutters and eaves. It might also be described as a H obbit House—anyone over
6 feet (1.8m) tall might have to stoop, the ceilings upstairs are so low. Impressive renova-
tions in 2007 make it appealing to those who like modern design. O n a quiet street, La
Raclette has a cozy seating area and a bar and restaurant downstairs. The public areas and
the rooms have nooks and crannies and lo vely modern art on display. Rooms have cha-
risma, and they ar e remarkably private considering the small r oom sizes inherent in an
old house like this. All bathr ooms have jetted tubs. The hotel exudes a lot of warmth.
