From picturesque inns and chic spa hotels, to cozy bed & breakfasts, author and tireless romantic Bill Gleeson has brought together his favorite Southern California getaways for two in this fully revised edition. With 50 dreamy options - 20 all new - there's something to whet every appetite. Ocean lovers can head to the coast for a morning stroll along the beach and a gourmet breakfast served in the garden. For those on mountain time, a day of skiing turns into an evening of hot toddies in front of a roaring fire. And for stressed-out twosomes craving open spaces, the desert offers golf, some spa tlc, and secluded cottages to snuggle in, complete with breathtaking views. Each wonderful getaway is illustrated with gorgeous photographs and includes all the pertinent information, so the only surprises are those of the romantic variety.

This review is from: Weekends for Two in Southern California: 50 Romantic GetawaysRevised and Updated (Paperback)
Yes, this is the book to get if you want a fabulous place to create extraordinary memories with your mate! We've been to The Inn At Morro Bay with it's beautiful, breathtaking view of the bay and healing surroundings (p.17); to Ducey's by the Lake (p.30) with it's rich color decor and outstanding breakfast brunch; to the Sundance Villas in Palm Springs (p.108) where we treated back-East parents to a villa with a private pool and spa and a hugh interior during their winter season; and treated newlyweds to Portofino Beach Hotel-incredible (p.74); and have gazed and dreamed about all of the other bed & breakfasts listed in this book. BUY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT!

Weekends for Two in Southern California: 50 Romantic Getaways is a wonderful book for the romantic in all of us. If you're looking for a great place to stay for the weekend, look no further! This book showcases 50 enchanting places to stay in Southern California when you're in the mood for love within beautiful surroundings. Each property is described in detail with room descriptions, prices and includes full color photographs. My wife and I love the Apple Farm Inn in San Luis Obispo. It's a charming country style inn that's more comfy and cozy than home and also has a great restaurant where homemade corn bread, apple cider and ice cream is featured. I love looking through this book whenever I am planning a trip away with my wife. I'm sure you'll love this book as well!Highly recommended! Don't miss Bill Gleeson's other Weeekends for Two books for Northern California and other locales. They are great too! You'll feel warm and fuzzy just looking at these lovingly selected getaways.
