Hofsas House in Carmel-By-The-Sea makes you feel like family .
As we bid Paso Robles a fond farewell, we headed up the road to the picturesque town of Carmel by Sea. This time we were heading in the same direction as Hotelier Donna Hofsas did many years ago when she left Los Angeles to take up residence in Carmel in the 40’s.
Donna went on to transform tiny cottages into an outstanding family run hotel that has been in operation since the 1950’s. Donna Hofsas passed in 1999 but her legacy has carried on through her granddaughter, Carrie Theis, who now continues to manage the European style hotel while offering the same old world charm and personalize service that Grandmother Donna instilled in her since the tender age of 5.
With modern amenities, personalized hotel packages for pet lovers, summer vacationers, or those looking for a romantic get-away, everyone is well taken care of at the Hofsas House.
We agree with a name that refers to this outstanding Inn as a House, because, it is like coming home to visit with those that are near and dear. As you enter the quaint sitting room adorned with Bavarian themed art work done by Donna’s friend of yester-year, acclaimed artist Maxine Albro, you feel like you just stepped into a the home of an endearing friend.
As we entered our suite, we were drawn again to the old world charm, but also the attention to detail and of course the view from the patio as it over-looks the town of Carmel with sweeping panorama views of towering pines and a glimpse of the twinkling Pacific Ocean.
Being pet parents, our doggie friends were given fluffy pet beds, treats, including a Frisbee for the beach and even doggie shampoo. The Hofsas house is truly living up to the reputation of being the top destination for those traveling with their pet children.
