Alegria-the state of being joyful and happy...an inn that welcomes you by putting your cares to rest, applying thoughtful attention to the myriad details of your stay so that you can focus on more important things-the hummingbird out the window, the fragrance of ocean on the breeze, sunlight across the garden path which leads to the ocean beach. The spirit of Alegria...simple and restorative pleasures of rest, relaxation, good food, and natural beauty.
