Borrego Valley Inn

Stepping into the courtyard here -- with its adobe casitas, desert landscaping of agave and bougainvillea, clumps of chilies drying in the sun, an aviary of chirping birds -- is an evocative experience. Perhaps an Ennio Morricone theme will whistle through your brain, as you study the Hollywood-perfect surroundings that lend the air of a charming Southwestern pueblo. Featuring private patios adorned with fruit trees and Mexican chiminea fireplaces, the meticulously maintained accommodations have Saltillo tile floors and a Southwest/Mex decor; larger rooms have a kitchenette. The La Casita suite has a full kitchen and a 500-square-foot patio with a propane barbecue grill. This nonsmoking hotel is close to town and has two pools, one of which -- surrounded by a high fence -- is clothing optional.

Facilities:
2 Jacuzzis; 2 pools
