The Inn at Leola Village

A countryside getaway in Pennsylvania
VERIFIED LUXURY
Nestled in the heart of Lancaster County’s Amish community lies The Inn at Leola Village. The former 1800s tobacco farm was transformed into a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel with a Four-Star spa, a rustic Italian restaurant, acres of gardens and a picturesque destination for relaxing, luxurious escapes.

Despite being in the Pennsylvania countryside, though, guests will feel like they have been transported to Italy, thanks to the opulent, Tuscan-style room furnishings and the restaurant Osteria Avanti offering indoor and outdoor seasonal dining.

The hotel is a popular spot for couples’ getaways (beds are topped with cheeky pillows that say “tonight” on one side and “not tonight” on the other), and the oversized double whirlpool tub in many suites is among the reasons why. It’s no wonder that the hotel is also a popular venue for weddings, thanks to its romantic ambiance and magical history.
