"Beautiful"

I have stayed in many places; this one will be memorable and I would come back in a heartbeat. We stayed in the "Barn." It was cozy, beyond comfortable and felt like we were in a home, not a hotel. The service was impeccable, what more can I say. Lovely, lovely environment inside and out.

"Charming Hillside Retreat Close to Ithaca College"

Had the opportunity to stay at La Tourelle for my recent 55th college reunion at Ithaca College. Facilities are welcoming and comfortable (the bed was superb)! The staff was outstanding.
