Finding A Luxury Downtown Victoria Bed And Breakfast: Profile Of Fairholme Manor
Fairholme Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn is an Italianate mansion with 110 years of history within its walls. It offers five star luxury amidst the flora and park-like surroundings of its location and provides a lovely view of the ocean and the Olympic mountains. Next to the bedandbreakfast is the Lieutenant-Governor’s house and gardens, which adds to the idyllic beauty of the site.
Occupying nearly one acre of land, Fairholme is a downtown Victoria bed and breakfast, set apart from the hotels in Victoria, British Columbia in both geography and calibre. It is located on the periphery of downtown, which means that while it is still close to many attractions, its residential location gives it the feel of a quiet retreat. Guests are just a short walk from Craigdarroch Castle, the Greater Victoria Art Gallery, Antique Row, the water, and the heart of downtown.
Fairholme’s Manor’s breakfasts are famous. Sylvia Main’s gourmet morning meals are luxury for your palate! Her recipes have been featured in magazines and compiled in a book, so as far as bed and breakfasts go, it is difficult to surpass the excellence of her incomparable breakfasts. Each morning, guests enjoy their breakfasts in the sunny dining room or on the common porch. They start with chilled orange juice and homemade baked goods with jams or homemade granola, yogurt and fresh fruits, and follow that up with a hot entree, such as Eggs Benedict, Florentine, or Neptune topped with homemade Hollandaise, lemon ricotta pancakes, or baked raspberry French toast, with Canadian back bacon on the side.
Fairholme also brings luxury spa and celebration packages right to your room. If you’re looking for romance or wanting to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion, you can surprise your loved one by booking massages or having roses, champagne, and truffles delivered to your room. Such touches are sure to make your stay a memorable one.
Bask in the quiet luxury of the unique Fairholme Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn–with the class of the most elite hotels and the rejuvenating peacefulness of a private retreat.
