Romantic Interludes

I enjoyed reading Hulse’s article on “Hideaways” and would like to add one to your list. My husband and I spent Valentine’s Day at the old Monterey Inn, 500 Martin St., Monterey, Calif. 93940. It is a delightful B&B; and most romantic. What is it about a fireplace in your room that invites romance? Ann and Gene Swett are the perfect hosts seeing to your every need and advising about what to see in the area--and when to avoid crowds. They make you feel like friends of the family, not paying guests.
