Topia Inn Review

Park your shoes and your toiletries at the door—this Adams property, which opened in 2007 just off the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, is the greenest inn in the Berkshires: innkeepers Nana Simopoulous and Caryn Heilman transformed a derelict downtown Colonial into an LEED-rated marvel, with a solar electric system, soybean oil heating, and natural clay walls; beds and linens are organic cotton; nontoxic toiletries are provided; and rooms are decorated by the innkeepers' artsy pals, with themes such as Morocco, Ancient Greece, Native American, and Retro 1960s. A fun quirk: some rooms have spa tubs with colored lights (chromatherapy, it's called), so you can have a little light show as you bathe.
