The Santa Maria Historical Inn is beautifully maintained and a lovely retreat to enjoy, our room was on the 1st floor and we enjoyed the view of the patio and lovely garden area with a water fall. The antique room was cozy and comfortable. There are many areas to enjoy sitting in a quiet atmosphere. Staff is friendly and helpful, we will definitely come back another time!
