Simple Hedonisms

Post by Tracy Logan

Back in Healdsburg today, first stop is with Tom and Brenda Hearn at Belle de Jour Inn; their Inn is located right across the street from Simi Winery.

A lovely, restful spot so beautifully kept by Brenda and Tom for the past 25 years, the Belle de Jour Inn is incredibly romantic and private- the Carriage House is one of my favorite accommodations- I would like to live there!

Brenda and I discuss innkeeper inside info- like drying sheets, folding sheets, turning over rooms (she and Tom work as the perfect team)- I knew them back in 1982 when I was the innkeeper at the Grape Leaf Inn.  The Inn is very close to the happenings in Healdsburg, but far enough away that it feels like a step into the quiet countryside.  This place is choice!
