Guestlands Italia B&B
Guestlands was inspired from our travels throughout Italy, France and Spain and we have tried to capture the essence of the wonderful medieval villages and hamlets scattered throughout the various countrysides.
We are a private gated residence offering boutique B&B accommodation.
Each villa suite has its own character and appeal and is accessed via the central cobblestone street to form part of a village setting. There is a central bar with kitchenette ‘La Trattoria’ for self serve breakfasts and light meals and meeting place for happy hour or after dinner drinks.
Alfresco dining is encouraged on the café chairs and tables just outside. There is also a guest lounge/ media room with en-suite next to the Trattoria that is also shared by village guests, great for chilling out or watching sport or a movie on the super screen.
Another novelty feature of the property is the Chess Garden with oversized pieces and playing field, often attracting players of all ages and onlookers. Take a stroll around to the other side of the lake and there are more gardens and a Silver Birch tree grove. On cooler nights you can soak up the warmth in the sunken Mexican fire pit on the top of the hill looking back over the estate with village and gardens in the background. A perfect place for a sundowner.
The area of Arcadia has many great cafes, restaurants, nurseries and art galleries. Berowra Waters is only 15 minutes drive from us, great for boat hire and fishing and fabulous cafes and restaurants at the Marina. Take a stroll or have a picnic at nearby Fagans Park with 55 acres of international gardens and waterways. We also have sports cars for hire if you fancy a little drive in the surrounding countryside in a convertible or you can just kick back and relax on the estate at Guestands. Plenty to do or not to do, escape from the city and unwind, get back to basics and transport yourself to another world.
We'd love to see you soon.
Arrivederci
