“Best B&B in Florida!!!”

Palmetto Riverside e' il miglior Bed & Breakfast di tutta la Florida. Gestito dalla famiglia belga Lippens e' una casa elegante ed accogliente come i suoi proprietari Wim e Mieke entrambi amanti del gourmet e dell' ospitalita' quella Europea, per intendersi! Una vasta selezione di birre dal Belgio, hors d' ouvre nel pomeriggio e una cena fuoriclasse realizzata in una delle cucine private piu' belle che io abbia mai visto. Le camere sono bellissime arredate con grande gusto con mobilia europea e piccoli dettagli preziosi come le lenzuola e i cuscini raffinati (Wim e Mieke si occupavano di tessuti in Europa). Dopo una notte piacevole e rilassata vi attende una sontuosa incredibile colazione completamente home made. Recentemente la coppia ha ampliato le stanze aumentando l' offerta di posti disponibili. Per mantenere alto ed impeccabile il servizio i coniugi, che hanno due bellissime bambine, si dedicano esclusivamente al B&B e alla cucina. Ma e' il loro calore ed ospitalita' innata che vi colpira' al cuore perche' vi sentirete davvero a casa vostra e un giorno di permanenza non vi bastera' e vorrete ritornarci ancora e ancora! Il viaggio vale ogni dollaro speso in questo paradiso del gourmet e dello charme. Un vero gioiello in Florida!!!
