Good Pasta Dishes at the Monte Carlo Inn, Oakville, Ontario

Monte Carlo Inn, Oakville, Ontario

 We spent our Canada Day long weekend in Oakville, a little more than half an hour drive from Toronto, not far at all.

Lobby of the Monte Carlos Inn, Oakville, Ontario

The three days/ two night retreat was to allow all the participating couples a quiet, relaxing time from their regular routines so that they could focus their time on each other.

The hotel is a little different in that it does provide a little bit of  European flavour in its deco in some of the guest suites.

When we visited our leaders' suite, we were surprised to see a three quarter wall made with glass bricks with a marble column separating the sleeping area from the sitting area.

A hint of European style in the suite providing some privacy and  a reminder of Roman architecture !

We dined in a separate dining room during our stay at the inn.

During our stay,  the inn offered guests a nutritious complimentary breakfast at its restaurant. I liked the breakfast as it had a good supply of fresh fruits so that I could choose to eat more fruit and less carbohydrate. But I had to skip the nice pastries as I was on a special diet.

During both lunch and dinner time, our group dined in a separate dining room giving us some privacy so that we could conduct our presentations and sharing.

The food was good; we especially enjoyed the meaty pasta dish even though we had it twice during our three day stay there.

There is no swimming pool at the hotel,  however, Monte Carlo Inn does have a room with some gym equipment.

 We were too busy with our retreat program and did not even set foot into the exercise room.












We did take a break after dinner and walked over to the strip mall located near the hotel. It was a nice walk on a hot summer evening. However, this same walk to the small shopping mall would not be easy during the winter months.

We found the hotel clean and the staff friendly. It was a good choice for our couples' retreat.
