Antigua Bed and Breakfasts
Staying at an Antigua bed and breakfast is the best way to see and experience Antigua. Your bed and breakfast might be in a building that's hundreds of years old or perhaps even in an old Spanish monastery. In Antigua, old-time tradition and modern amenities combine to make a comfortable, wholly unexpected stay. Inside those ancient bed and breakfast walls lie all the comforts of home-- a soft bed with locally sewn quilts and bedding; modern, tastefully designed baths and even a TV, if you so desire. As a bed and breakfast traveler, you have the privilege and opportunity to stay in a private home-- and it is Antigua's private homes that really shine. Imagine walking up to a large wooden gate with custom, locally made iron features. You knock on the gate, which is answered by a friendly attendant. Once inside the gate and walls, you see the true beauty of Antigua-- a flowering courtyard with flowing fountains, expertly maintained lawn and flowers, and small bistro tables, already set with coffee and freshly baked local goods. No one can enter such a beautiful, tranquil space but you and your fellow Antigua bed and breakfast guests-- this is your private paradise, designed to ingratiate you into living like a pampered local. As night falls on your first night in Antigua, more stars than you've ever seen creep out, and they’re all visible from your bed and breakfast bedroom window. You'll think you have found paradise, and you might even be right.
