Situated in the heart of Victoria BC, in the quiet Rockland neighbourhood, this Vancouver Island bed and breakfast is only minutes from the Inner Harbour, US ferries and downtown. Built in 1923 as a gift to a young bride, the Inn is an Italian Renaissance mansion that continues to be a romantic setting for special vacations and celebrations, especially weddings and honeymoons. A reflecting pool visited occasionally by bald eagles and blue herons is the focal point of a classical Italianate garden. Our guest suites feature double soakers, fireplaces, fine linens, luxurious beds, down pillows, hardwood floors and Persian carpets. Generous gourmet breakfasts featuring locally grown produce are served in our lovely sun-splashed dining room. Enjoy afternoon tea and sherry either in the garden or in front of the fire in our wood-paneled library. Whether a business meeting requiring wireless internet access and private telephones, or a celebration requiring the services of an events planner, your experience at the Villa will be memorable! |
