Alegria Ocean Front Inn & Cottages

Information may not be reliable

"Everything was at hand before we thought of needing it..."
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.

Alegria is an ocean front bed and breakfast inn located in the village of Mendocino, California. It features ocean view rooms and cottages, fireplaces, decks, a hot tub and a path to the beach. Interesting shops, beautiful galleries, fine restaurants, and the ocean are just a stroll away.
