The house was immaculate and in an excellent location. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was very good, but minimal selection. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!

Thanks for your review. As try to vary the menu, but each day as a B&B, we do not have wide choices.

Property was beautiful, built in 1853, and very well maintained. We stayed in the Washington Suite (was the master bedroom). Beautiful grounds as well.

Inn at Monticello rocks !
Convenient to Monticello, the Inn at Monticello was a wonderful experience to stay close to the historic area in a historic house. The bed-and-breakfast was comfortable and clean and the owners were more than accommodating. Breakfast was delicious.

A gem of an inn
Loved our stay at the Inn at Monticello!When we pulled into the driveway, the owner directed us to the main entrance and greeted us in the lobby. Hand sanitizer was offered and we were asked to wear our masks. After showing us our room, she offered us a glass of delicious white wine and we chatted about the origins of the Inn. Our bed was very comfortable and the amenities were high quality. Breakfast was great, with fresh fruit, mini muffins, blueberry pancakes and chicken sausage. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

My mom and I stayed at the Inn the night before Homecomings and we had a fantastic time! When we arrived, there were fresh cookies waiting and as we got more information about the space, we were offered some wine. The room was lovely, the bathroom was large, and there was a private patio area where we had our cookies and wine. The next morning, we had breakfast with everyone at the Inn and enjoyed fruit, yogurt, pumpkin pancakes and sausages. The menu changes but the cookies and breakfast were amazing! Such a great place, great hosts, highly recommend!

The property is so convenient to almost anything you want to do in Charlottesville - UVA, Monticello, Other historic sites, orchards, wineries, downtown...literally minutes to all of those, with convenient parking, a clean and peaceful environment to help you rest and recharge to do it all over gain the next day.
