My wife and I just spent a wonderful weekend of leisurely touring the Aptos, Capitola, Santa Cruz area while staying at Delia's studio. Delia's studio is exactly as described and their home is in a beautiful forested area about a mile from Aptos. But the real treat is Delia and her husband Peter. Delia is a gracious host who truly cares about those who stay in the studio. All of the little touches she takes the time put in place (robes, a nice, small functional kitchen, treats for your arrival) make you feel very welcome. This morning, Peter built a fire for us in their outdoor fire-pit and Delia made us a truly delicious breakfast served with panache. We had a wonderful time talking to Peter and Delia until we needed to get on our way or else lose our day of local touring. You can't go wrong selecting Delia as your host and staying in her studio. She will give you great tips for visiting the area and make you feel truly welcome... all this and a wonderful breakfast served by a very friendly and warm couple to boot!
