From warm and cozy country bed & breakfasts to elegant and historic hotels, author, photographer, and illustrator Bruce Hunt has composed the definitive guide to Florida's most quaint, historic, romantic, and often eclectic lodgings.Come along for the ride as Bruce rambles around the state, stopping for a spell at 135 of the best inns and bed & breakfasts Florida has to offer. Written in an engaging, personal style, Florida's Finest Inns and Bed & Breakfasts relates the histories of many of the places Bruce visits as well as the personal stories of innkeepers and caretakers. Additionally, in the Foreword, Bruce discusses the lives of Henry M. Flagler and Henry B. Plant and their considerable contributions to Florida's architecture. Looking to spend some time in a Victorian house in a quiet, tree-filled neighborhood or at a seaside cottage that evokes memories of summers spent at the beach? Perhaps you'd like to stay in a grand Henry Flagler–era hotel where Vanderbilts, DuPonts, and Rockefellers wintered. You'll find theme rooms filled with offbeat antiques, claw-foot tubs, wicker furniture, canopy beds, and bay windows, along with heaps of old-fashioned hospitality and scrumptious, homemade food. Bruce personally visited each of the places he describes here and lets you in on which rooms are his favorites, what he had for breakfast, and even where to catch up with a few ghosts!Florida's Finest Inns and Bed & Breakfasts is required reading for road-weary travelers searching for a quiet respite from the hustle-bustle world.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Lonely Planet Bermuda (Country Guide) Review

I spent two weeks in Bermuda, and was very glad I brought this book along with me. I doubt very much that there are many interesting corners of the country that have been overlooked by the authors of this guide -- some of which I never would have thought to investigate had this book not alerted me to their existence. I especially appreciated all the historical and cultural details, and found that it was an invaluable tool in keeping costs down in a country where just about everything is VERY pricey. This book has since been re-used by other members of my family on their own trips to Bermuda, and has paid for itself several times over.
