We’ve been doing a road trip of California and SLO/Petit Soleil has been our absolute favourite place so far. From the amazing staff to the gorgeous hotel/rooms, we couldn’t fault it. We loved their aperitif hour and breakfast, both of which were an amazing touch. We had the best time and can’t wait to come back at some point in the future. Thanks so much for having us!
