Chantico Inn  

Tucked in Ojai’s historic district, this boutique Victorian inn sits a short walk from the Ojai Valley Museum of History and Art, galerie102, Libbey Bowl and the Ojai Art Center. Pet-friendly and perfectly placed for galleries, golf and the Arcade, it’s an easy base for exploring downtown Ojai.

Just 22 individually decorated rooms with memory-foam beds, private patios, refrigerators, microwaves and flat-screen TVs. Expect cozy Victorian touches, a lobby fireplace and concierge service. Bikes and massage by appointment add to the quiet, boutique vibe.

Soak in an outdoor pool and hot tub, lounge in the picnic area or pick up a bike for a valley ride. On-site perks include a gift shop, outdoor furniture and easy free parking. Wake up to valley-morning light and a relaxed, pet-friendly atmosphere.

A business center and complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet keep work simple. Express check-out and free self-parking make quick departures painless.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (morning hours). For more, nearby spots like Olivella, Osteria Monte Grappa and Boccali's showcase the local dining scene and regional flavors.
