The oversize rooms in this elaborate Italianate-style home have brass beds, down comforters, gas-burning stoves, and claw-foot tubs. Broad wraparound verandas encourage lounging, as do the colorful gardens and large elm trees. Guests arrive to find a complimentary appetizer plate and bottle of local wine. A "full country candlelight breakfast" is accompanied by water-trickling fountains; fresh cookies are available all day. Pros: Great breakfasts, lovely gardens, wonderful town. Cons: Pricey.
