American expat Vicki Johnson – chef, chocolatier and purveyor of life's finer things – has transformed this massive 1920s potato-storage barn into her very own den of good taste. She expanded and moved her artisan chocolate shop and cafe here, and offers eight spacious guest rooms for more independently minded travelers above a hip commercial-office space.
Huge rooms with vaulted ceilings, fabulous stone bathrooms and an inviting common space evoke a homespun sense of community that only Johnson can pull off. Breakfast is taken downstairs at Gallo Negro Café, or fix your own in the gourmet guest kitchen.
