Innkeeper Note

The St Francis Inn is an historic St Augustine Bed and Breakfast with old world charm, located in the nation's oldest city, St. Augustine Florida. Individually decorated rooms and suites grace the Inn, many with whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, and antiques. The peaceful walled courtyard garden is a favorite place to unwind. Gourmet full breakfasts, private balconies and porches, swimming pool, bicycles and evening socials add to the ambiance. Located in St Augustine Antiqua, the restored historic district of the nation's oldest city, this St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast Inn couples a romantic atmosphere with modern comforts. Your stay includes a gourmet buffet breakfast and specialty coffee drinks, evening social hour with complimentary beverages and tasty treats, and nightly homemade desserts. All day long we serve our house blend coffees, and hot chocolate, assorted teas and cappuccinos are available. The St Francis Inn B&B is unique in its location -- right in the heart of the oldest part of the city, but private and serene in its own quiet corner. The narrow brick paved streets surrounding the Inn offer charming restaurants, museums, galleries, antique shops, historic sites and a variety of shopping experiences. Guests of the Inn receive complimentary admission to the Saint Augustine Lighthouse and Museum, and 50% off admission to the nearby Oldest House - one of St. Augustine's finest treasures of Florida history.

I enjoyed all of stays here! I have been here four times and plan on returning soon. I can't stress how helpful all of the staff are from booking the room that is my exact style to when I leave. this is the only place I will stay when visiting Saint Augustine and if all the rooms are booked I just have to wait. the history in this house is unbelievable. You have to stay here when you come no doubt to see for yourself that this is another world.

Very private and quiet. Tastefully decorated. My husband and I could not have asked for a more relaxing atmosphere. The staff was gracious and the breakfast and other amenities exceptional. Looking forward to our next visit at St. Francis Inn.
