When I arrived I found a sign on the door which said the doorbell did not work, so please knock. I knocked on the door several times and waited before opening the door and walking in. I was shocked to see a woman sitting not too far from the door! There is no way she did not hear me knocking.... More

This was an all round bad experience. Kristy, the owner, was way too talkative about her personal life to the point where my wife and I felt very uncomfortable around her. She had to brag about her kids, tell us about how much money she had lost on her purchase of the house, how her brother had walked away from... More

We came to work at the Museum of Glass as visiting artists and spent a week there. Chrissy the owner is very upbeat and bubbly personality. She was very friendly and loves to chat. The house is spacious and there is lots of room to sprawl out besides the bedroom. It is in a lovely residential area. They welcome dogs... More

This was our second stay at The Villa. This time we rented the entire Villa for our family to stay in as our son was getting married in the area. For our needs, it was perfect! I wanted a place where our entire family could stay and just relax and The Villa was just that. Kristi was very accomodating and... More

We stayed a the Villa in order to attend a wedding, traveling with another couple. My husband swears he checked for reviews on this place. I can't imagine he was reading Trip advisor. Everything negative I see here is absolutely spot on...and then some. It was the weirdest and poorest B&B experience we have ever had. When we arrived, we... More

I made a reservation at The Villa and received confirmation via email. Later I received a call saying that they had double booked the room and I could not have it. I was disappointed, but said ok and that I would find another place to stay. Fast forward to this morning, when I check my bank account and find that... More

I stayed at The Villa for 2 nights. There are definitely nice things about it -- my room was huge and had a beautiful veranda -- but I think the problems might outweigh the benefits. When I arrived, the owner was very friendly and showed me her cell number on the door, saying that she "always has her cell phone... More

We booked our room with internet, and got an email confirmation asking us when we'd arrive as the owner will greet us in person. Since we had to fly in, we told them it'll be around 9pm. On the day of the flight we had a big delay, as soon as we learned of the delay we called the B&B... More

It's difficult to express how lovely, clean and inviting the Villa B&B is. From the huge common areas, ample supply of bottled water, snacks, coffee, etc., to the delicious breakfasts and large, comfortable rooms this should have been a five-star experience. The only problem was that the hostess, Kristi, just talks nonstop about her personal life. She's a very nice... More

The Villa is a wonderful, beautiful building. No Pets allowed but owners have a couple of great dogs. Breakfast rates high the granola with fruit and yoghurt are the best. Kristi likes to cook eggs so if you don't want them be sure to let her know. The pastries are OK could be better. The rooms are spacious and clean.... More
