Romantic Getaways at Casa de Solana

Page one

BREAKFAST AT THE INN

Breakfast at the inn is bountiful and goes way beyond croissants, toast and coffee. Served buffet style, there is ample to fill you up for a day of visiting this fascinating city. Always included are two hot home made entrees, freshly baked pastries, fruit, and special blend of coffees. Trust me, with so much to see, you will need ample fuel to check out all of the interesting sites!

What Lily and I found delightful was eating breakfast in the inn¸s beautiful courtyard while listening to the "clip-clops" of horse drawn carriages as they meander along the narrow brick-paved alleys. We even had one of these horse drawn carriages pick us up during the evening hours and drop us off at one of the marvelous restaurants.

TIP-Before heading out to the historical St. Augustine sites, take an Old Town Trolley Tour that will acquaint you with St. Augustine and the "must see" venues.

ROMANTIC GETAWAY& WEDDING DESTINATION

Casa de Solana is the perfect choice for a memorable romantic getaway. The inn offers various romantic packages such as providing Champagne, engraved champagne glasses, St. Augustine-made Whetstone chocolates, in your room upon arrival. They can also arrange for a horse-drawn carriage ride, two tickets to a bay cruise, and even a romantic breakfast, with mimosas delivered to your room.

For the small intimate wedding celebration, the inn¸s private walled courtyard provides a beautiful setting for a most unique ceremony. In addition, the recently constructed de Palma House within the courtyard is excellent and flexible to host a small reception. In the event your party needs more space, the inn uses the facilities of the neighboring St. Augustine Art Association or the Llambias House & Garden.

Nearby Restaurants

An historic Florida restaurant is The Columbia Restaurant -98 St. George Street, St. Augustine: Tel-904-824-3341.

The story of this restaurant's chain is very much tied up with the cigar industry that was established in Ybor City near Tampa at the turn of the last century.

From its humble beginnings in 1904 in Ybor, this restaurant now comprises 6 restaurants scattered throughout Florida, each unique, however all retaining those special ingredients that make great restaurants popular.

Raintree Restaurant & Steakhouse, 102 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Tel: 904-824-7211

For culinary indulgence, this restaurant is what you could classify as "la creme de la creme" when it comes to its service, menu and wine list. Dinner is served from 5 P.M. and during the busy season and on weekends reservations are highly recommended.

Located in an old house, the restaurant has long been recognized for its exceptional food, and has been the recipient of many awards. Try its seafood specialties such as, Mahi Mahi En Croute or its Salmon Mediterranean Style, both of which Lily and I savored and could not stop raving about. Leave some room for their deserts, particularly the goodies on their trays. Forget about dieting!
