Casa de Solana

St Augustine


Just off pedestrian-only Aviles St in the oldest part of town, this utterly charming little inn remains faithful to its early-1800s period decor. Rooms aren't the largest in town, but the location is killer. Rumors of a resident ghost might sway some potential guests in (or drive them off).
