The Magnolia Plantation
Bed & Breakfast Inn
Gainesville, Florida
Magnolia Plantation Bed and
Breakfast Inn is an 1885 French Second Empire Victorian home in Gainesville,
Florida.
Joe and Cindy Montalto purchased the 5400 square foot home in 1990 and began the
restoration process. The house had its original floor plan when Joe and Cindy purchased it
and they decided that it was very important to retain the integrity of the house as much
as possible.
Gainesville is less than half-hour drive of many antique shops, clear water
springs museums, bike trails and of course is the home of the University of Florida
and the 1996 National Champion Florida Gators. |
 |
It truly is a family affair. Joe's father, a Landscape Architect, designed the gardens,
pond and waterfalls. Cindy's mother lives in the carriage house and helps Cindy with the
inn. Joe and Cindy also live on the third floor of the house so someone will always be
around to see to your needs.
 |
All the woodwork inside the home is original.
If you enjoy seeing the way people would have used their home in the
1800's you will enjoy visiting the Magnolia Plantation. |
You should find yourself feeling very much at home shortly after your arrival because
of the attention to detail. There is a stocked refrigerator with complimentary beverages
and baskets of fruit and snacks. There is even a "boo boo sick" drawer filled
with the items you may find you have left at home or may need to go to the drug store for.
We have five beautiful rooms and two
out-buildings to choose from.
Room Rates are $90 - $160 per night. Prices are effective January
1st, 2000. Special rates for corporate and extended stay travelers. One night's
deposit is required for reservation and is refundable if cancelled seven days prior to
your scheduled visit. For your safety, fire sprinklers are throughout the Inn. Smoking is
not permitted inside the Inn. |
 |
"Sleeping in" or waking up "at the crack of dawn" work equally as
well at the Inn. Breakfast is as casual as a cup of coffee (ready before 6 AM, it's on a
timer) or by showing your smiling face to Cindy you can enjoy a full breakfast in 15
minutes.
