We had our Wedding Ceremony at Sane Living Center in Ojai on January 1st…read more It was absolutely perfect in every detail possible. Karol and Gregory were available to us throughout the process of set up and tear down and could not have been nicer or kinder in all our dealings and interactions with us. Due to our original ceremony venue being unavailable due to the recent storm we found ourselves in search of a venue. Sane Living Center fell into our laps so to speak and all our worries and concerns vanished! The space was incredibly suited to our needs and with wonderful lighting and in house sound operations we really lucked out. Thank you Karol and Gregory for making our day so very special.

Beautiful space in Ojai! Calm. Vegan option next door! And can do workshops at the location.read more

Great stay at Santa Paula Inn! From the moment we booked, everything felt welcoming and easy. The…read morephone reservation was especially pleasant--friendly, courteous, and the owner/manager answered my questions directly (a hospitality level I haven't experienced in years). Arrival was smooth. The half-circle drive off Mill Street is easy to enter and was open when we arrived. The only tip I'd add is once you get past the front area, head toward the rear parking lot for the best flow. Walking up to the front door is charming--Swiss/German country cottage style with historic character, dark wood tones, and shingle siding (with white end units). The lobby setup is warm and inviting, with great lighting and multiple seating areas where you can relax or have a conversation. Check-in was quick and friendly. The staff explained the room ventilation controls and the split cooling system (new technology). The room stayed very quiet and comfortable--our third-floor room cooled to about 65°F each night. The stairs to the third floor were exactly as expected--no elevator--and they felt well designed with consistent tread depth and height. The hallways also have fun movie posters from the 20-60s, which adds personality. We stayed in Room 301, and it was roomy (about 300 sq ft). The room had a chaise lounge with an ottoman, plus a desk and chair. The bathroom layout is a bit old-school, with the sink just outside the bathroom area inside the bedroom, but it worked fine. There's a small step up (around 1 1/2 inches), and the tub/shower and toilet were comfortable and clean. The shower had plenty of hot water. The bed was a highlight--pillow-top comfort with very soft sheets and comforters. The king pillows were large, soft, and easy to adjust (even though I usually prefer smaller ones, these were great). Overall, the room and property felt quiet. It seemed like most guests were in by around 9:00, and we had a peaceful, restful night's sleep. Also worth noting: there are four EV chargers in the rear parking lot for electric vehicle owners. The restaurant looked amazing and smelled great, though we didn't dine this trip--we're planning to next time we fly into Santa Paula Airport. Finally, Monica, the manager, was wonderful--an absolute pleasure to talk with and genuinely kind. And a special thank-you for the complimentary morning coffee and muffins. Highly recommend for anyone who wants comfort, charm, and quiet peace.

We recently stayed at the Glen Tavern Inn and had a mixed experience…read more The highlight was the staff. At check-in, we realized our assigned room was near two very barky dogs, and the front desk was kind and accommodating in relocating us to another room. I think it was even a better room. I appreciated their willingness to help. Unfortunately, the room itself felt more worn than charming. The furniture had visible wear and staining, the ceiling showed patched areas and water stains that really needed a fresh coat of paint, and the overall impression was tired rather than historic. A few relatively simple updates would go a long way toward elevating the experience. The bathroom was tight, and it had a small step up that we kept forgetting about, despite the (small) warning sign. The provided toiletries were among the worst I've encountered at a hotel. I had forgotten my own shampoo and soap and planned to use what was provided, but it was SO bad. The tiny disc of soap did not lather. On the positive side, the property felt safe and the room was clean. The lobby had dark wood and a homey feel. But what could have felt like a charming historic inn instead came across as simply old and overdue for some attention. While I appreciated the friendly service, I wouldn't choose to stay here again until I knew they had made some upgrades. From what I hear, this is the nicest place in Santa Paula, so I guess we would stay in nearby Ojai at a similar price point.

It is literally a nature oasis, a respite from the busy and loud Bay Area. The views are stunning, so much outside space to enjoy, and tables for eating in the patio. We are in the cozy room, which has a shared restroom. Literally no issues with this whatsoever. It's in between two rooms so it's not like you have access to anyone else's room. There are microwaves and mini fridges for each room. They even have a dining room and library. Breakfast is served daily, and it has robust options. The scrambled eggs really take this to another level. Another highlight is the nature. Bunnies, owls, lizards, toads, and tons of gorgeous birds. This place is a treasure.

Taking a cooking class was always on my "bucket list" so I searched one online for my birthday…read morefestivity and found cookbook tavola calda on yelp and booked it because of the reasonable price and excellent reviews! Chef was very responsive and made sure my booking was squared away. Chef Gregorio is a very genuine nice guy from Rome, Italy which was a nice touch because the class felt authentic. Appetizers including bruschetta and mozzarella kabobs were provided at the start of class then we moved on to learning a little bit about Italian culinary history and practical cooking tips you would've never thought of. Chef Gregorio can customize your menu but we went with one of the more popular options. We made fresh fettuccine and ravioli (sautéd spinach stuffing) from scratch with a bolognese and black butter sauce which was amazing! We ended the night with a delicious tiramisu. Highly recommend this class! Tons of fun was had!

Super patient and kind especially with a group of 20 girls who were hungover and hangry when we first got here. Our event started at 12pm and went to 3:30pm and we made fresh pasta from scratch! We made the following: 1. Butternut Squash Ravioli 2. Spinach Ricotta Ravioli 3. Fettuccine with a bolognese sauce We got a hands on experience making the pasta dough, kneading it, rolling it out and making both ravioli and fettuccine! Kitchen was beautiful, the lessons were informative with history and common cooking faux pas sprinkled throughout the class, and I can't say enough about the Chef's professionalism and how he was able to capture the attention of our giant group for 3 whole hours. He was so thorough in his explanations and was so encouraging even as some in our group (aka me) had severely limited cooking experience. Last, but most importantly, Chef Gregorio made us the BEST TIRAMISU everrr! It was light, fluffy and reaaallly frickin good. Thanks Chef!

I have trained here for a few years and it has been great with lovely welcoming and sincere people…read morein a relaxed yet very respectful environment. For adults: The instructors vary throughout the week so there is always something new and they are attentive to each student's needs and level. You will learn to roll, protect yourself, escape or throw an attacker, weapons (sword and jo staff), etc. Most importantly to me I think is the opportunity to cultivate within a state of mental peace, strength, and agility and then try to bring that positive energy to bear on the world. For youth there is a great program with classes full of happy kids. I have two and although sometimes they say they "don't want to go today" once class starts they get really into it. I think they benefit from the mental and physical routine which makes them more physically fit, coordinated, and disciplined. I hope that this early training will help give them good exercise habits, the ability to identify and avoid oncoming danger, and other benefits they can take with them for the rest of their lives.
