Casa de Solana, B&B Inn

My Mom and I loved this place so very much!! It's cozy and welcoming, we will definitely be back!! Thank You!!

This inn is simply delightful and upon entering the inn the courtyard it is beautiful!! The jasmine was in full bloom when we arrived and it is an incredible welcome indeed. We did arrive before noon and the innkeepers were accommodating took our lugguge and gave us directions to the parking. They helped in mapping out a plan to see the must see's of the city. We were only there for two nights and it should have been longer but St Augustine has so much history there just was not enough time to see it all. We arrived later in the afternoon for the social hour which was wonderful it was a small amount of us in the dining room but just wonderful exchanging experiences with each other. The room we stayed in was the Francesca and it was beautiful and spaceous. They keep the room very clean, room service is offered daily which is plus for me because I am a bit of a germ freak. Our first breakfast was a spinach casserole with croissant and bacon. It was delicious!! My husband could not get enough. You must see the Flagler College what Mr. Tiffany could do with glass. The Spanish Colonial Quarter is a great learning experience a tour around a small village with tradesman of the day. We had a wonderful visit in St. Augustine and I loved where this inn was located in the quiet part of town on an artsy street and it was incredibly quaint. Thank you.

Just spent a wonderful weekend in Rosa's room ... the staff is amazing (I could move in any time). This is the nicest place we have stayed in St Augustine and can't wait to go back. PS: Mexican social was WONDERFUL !!! Hope to be back soon .....Thanks for a great stay !!!

My husband and I celebrated our 35th at your inn and could not have been happier. Lovely, lovely is the only word that comes to mind. Keep up the wonderful hospitality!!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon and absolutely loved this place. We were there for four days and purchased one of their getaway specials which was a big savings for us because we added the massages as a special treat after the stress of the wedding. Rosa's room was beautiful and the fireplace made it all the more special. We stayed in January and the night's were cool when we stayed. The breakfasts were great a new dish every day and we especially loved the afternoon wine with other guests. Susan the housekeeper was accommodating to us because we stayed in a little to long sometimes. We are very happy and want to make this a yearly event for us!!

We had such a wonderful family visit with you. Thank you for the gracious hospitality and the delicious breakfasts. The room was beautiful and the lovely balcony made the stay all the more precious. It was a perfect stay and can’t wait to come back next year!!”

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our first anniversary. Thanks again for the recipes.”

You were so gracious and friendly to me and my husband. You made our visit in St. Augustine so very special.”

We stayed here in 2 nights December with our 2 granddaughters in the Mary Mitchell room. The inn charged an additional $25 per child for the 2 breakfasts which I quite understood. I was advised of this additional fee when I made my reservation about 1 month in advance and had no problem with paying it. Then, at breakfast -- they clearly treated our granddaughters as second-class citizens by serving them only cold cereal and offering yogurt while the breakfast served for the adults included eggs, sausage. I did not understand why they felt that the "children" should have a different meal (cold cereal) from the adults (a hot breakfast). Even the adult breakfast was "minimal" and not at all the caliber and quality of food that I am used to being served at B&B's. The room was comfortable. However, on our second day, the housekeeping service did not provide fresh towels or even remove the dirty coffee cups/glasses from the room. Also, the attitude of the front desk and breakfast staff was less than friendly. There was no common "parlor" area or any place to relax in besides our room. Parking in St. Augustine is limited and this B&B does have their own parking lot -- about 4 blocks of walking away. Our stay here was not up to the level of experience and service that we have had at other B&B's.

Got married at the St. Augustine courthouse last week, and decided to stay at a 'Bed and Breakfast', we did not know which one to pick. NOW WE DO! I called Jeff to check for availablity, and he still had a room. Based on that conversation, we decided to go to Casa de Solana. When we got there, it immidiately brought us to a different place in time. The building was built in 1808, and it has a great courtyard. This place is CLEAN! and we had a fantastic time strolling around town. The place is at the same block as the downtown square, so you are close to the nightlife, restaurants etc. Everything is walkable anyway. We went to social hour to drink a beer and some wine, had some snacks, and Jeff joined us. Get him to tell you the stories about other guests and how they had 'spritual' experiences! We thought it was very cool. Social hour is from 5 to 6 pm, and listening to old stories it quickly became 7 o'clock, just in time for chocolate cake and other desert.... We stayed in Rosa's room, huge bed (sleep numbers), mini fridge, tv, and big HOT TUB! At night we'd stay on the balcony and relax, while you look out at the courtyard, and the victorian houses across the street, very cool indeed. Breakfast was great too, Marilyn made a great hot breakfast with fruit, and different ones for the 2 mornings we stayed, starbucks coffee, juices, cereal etc. Don't look further, we won't, and we'll be back next year for the anniversary, if not sooner.

We were so happy to have found Casa de Solana on the internet. Two things attracted us to it: location in the old part of the city, and bicycles available. But it turned out to be much more....charming, great and varied foods for breakfasts, wine and cheese at 5, plus its very pleasant owners, Jeff and Luis, and Marilyn, their innkeeper. We highly recommend Casa de Solana and hope we can return there one day!
