More on the Ventana Inn

I just learned this morning that the Ventana Inn that I blogged about yesterday is now owned by my friend Chip Connelly. I met him back in the mid-90s, and it's been wonderful watching his company, Joie de Vivre Hotels, grow from just a few properties to a really nice collection of boutique hotels.

If you are going to the San Francisco Bay Area, he has a room to suit just about every taste.

The Big Sure fire continues to burn... my thoughts are with him in this difficult time.
