One of the loveliest bed and breakfasts in St. Augustine is at the beautifully restored 1888 Victorian Alexander Homestead, http://www.alexanderhomestead.com/.
This romantic inn has all the furnishings and special touches that will make your stay a memorable event.
Each of the four rooms are richly decorated and appointed with the finest antiques and heirlooms. Canopied and hand-carved beds are fitted with silky soft linens, fireplaces are ready to emit a warm glow and delicate lace curtains hanging on the French door sway gently in the sea breeze. Add a few relaxing moments in the Jacuzzi and you will be lulled to sleep and dream of days gone by that were once filled with opulence and grandeur.
For an extraordinary stay in the lap of luxury, the Alexander Homestead will surpass your expectations.
Another spectacular bed and breakfast is the Centennial House, http://www.centennialhouse.com/ located in the historic district of St. Augustine. Originally built somewhere between 1899 and 1904, this beautifully redecorated bed and breakfast is listed on the National Registry.
The Centennial has 8 rooms all elegantly decorated from the rich wood four poster and ornate wrought iron beds to the hardwood floors, and Oriental rugs. The rooms have 10 foot ceilings and a lovely courtyard where you can enjoy the sounds of the night.
The Centennial is in the heart of the historic district and is situated on the route available for horse drawn carriage rides.
