The accommodations were just as shown. Everything was absolutely beautiful and very charming. The grounds are amazing and the pool was clean and very relaxing. We also enjoyed the hot tub. We had a great time in Saint Petersburg in Tampa, especially the sunken gardens and dinner at Columbia restaurant. Too many greed things to say about it. We will definitely be back!

Cool place!

We enjoyed the cute, cozy little barn, and the beautiful plants on the property. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and the owners were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again if we’re in the Tampa area. The location was central to everything you could want to see and do…Busch Gardens, the casino, fine dining, and shopping.

Great stay

My husband and I stayed at the charming barn in Tampa for a long weekend. It was such a wonderful stay for the two of us. Close to Tampa where we spent time hiking, visited the beach, and we went on a wildlife kayak tour. The rest of the time we hung out in the yard of our stay. The pool was amazing and warm, our host was kind and welcoming and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely consider staying in the future.

Had a great time

We were staying a few days to see a concert and came upon this wonderful property when looking for a place to stay. It was very inviting and we felt so welcome and comfortable from the time we arrived. We had our own entrance to the property and there were a lot of fun little places to hang out. Highly reccomended and Daniele was super friendly and nice to talk with. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Relaxing Getaway

My daughter and I traveled down for the weekend to attend a concert. The property was in a quiet neighborhood with a reasonable commute to the venue. The barn was comfortable and well kept. The pool and garden were amazing. Stepping out the door to a butterfly garden added such a relaxing atmosphere. Stefan was an excellent host and it was enjoyable talking with him.
