    This past weekend my wife and I headed up to the GOLD COUNTRY....HWY 49 On my wifes 49th Birthday . What we didn't know is that the BIGGEST FIND wasn't Gold but Barretta Gardens. This well maintained B&B with all it's charm and great location can't be passed up for anyone wanting to stay in Sonora for afew night. The food in the morning was very good and kept you going to well past the lunch hour and the bed in our room ( Sangiovese ) Well let me just say I never sleep thru the night when we travel and both nights were great.The gentalman that owns the property was very helpful with anything we needed or asked for ANOTHER BIG PLUS!!! Not to mention a very good cook. I hope this helps with anyone thinking of staying here in the near future .....you will be very satisfied. Gary & Alyssa

    Beautiful gardens

    garden is very beautiful and the breakfast in the morning was excellent - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and the innkeepers were very fun to talk with. My wife and I had a great time

    This was much better than a hotel stay!!

    Very quaint, quiet, friendly atmosphere with an amazing breakfast cook! I only met Daniel and Sherry and they were both great friendly people. The B&B is an older Victorian style house which makes it unique fun experience.

    Great host n hostess

    We were very happy with our stay at the Barretta Gardens Inn. That the owners are justifiably proud of their property is demonstrated in the care they show for their guests. Very comfortable, great food and great service.
