It's hard to put into words about the level of comfort and hospitality we have recieved on our visits to the St. Francis Inn. If you are the type of person who enjoys the ultra modern 5-star accomodations, its not for you. However, if you are looking a relaxing, no worries, no schedule, trip to grandma's house type vacation, then you have found it! We discovered the inn about three years ago while visiting family in Florida, and have visited the inn 6 or 7 times since. We love the Balcony Room. The food is great, and we really enjoy social hour in the evenings. The staff is wonderful. They do an excellent job of making us feel like we are part of the family. WE LOVE IT!!

Many visits to various hotels and guests house"s have been enjoyable. You have not experienced the best until you have been to the St.Francis Inn,from the moment of are arrival you felt the welcome.The food and presentation was outstanding anything you wish for was available. We will be visiting again too be sure.It may be a long way from England but it is worth the trip.

This was my first stay at a B&B and we had a wonderful time. The staff is just so helpful and kind and chef Gary's food was to die for. I am enjoying the 5 lbs I put on! We stayed in the Cottage and found it to be very homey and quaint. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Our stay at St.Francis was Heaven sent. We found a location with courteous and professional staff members who would soon become like family. They couldn't do enough for us. The charm of a historic property, along with the gourmet breakfasts, evening happy hours and late evening desserts and coffee was more than we had expected. We plan to make a stay at the St. Francis Inn at least an annual event. Elbert & Sheila Murphy

My boyfriend and I found St. Francis on the web and booked a room. I was excited because my boyfriend loves to Sail and we would get a free schooner romantic ride with the room. I was then disappointed when they advised they were not running the week we were there - The Inn graciously had Champagne a Birthday welcome note and a free carriage ride instead. I was absolutely thrilled!! When we got there, it looked exactly like the pictures. Everyone was so helpful, kind and wonderful to wish me a Happy Birthday - The breakfast was adequate and met our needs. It was so wonderful and private in the Garden Hideaway - Everything truly is within walkin distance, we enjoyed our surroundings, and we really enjoyed getting in our private Jacuzzi after a long day of walking on our feet - It was by far the best Birthday I have ever had, and the ambiance and people of the Inn made it that much more enjoyable. I would absoluetely reccomend the Inn and have already to my Family and Friends.

We so enjoyed our 3 day celebration in such a beautiful bed & breakfast. We stayed in the Garcia Suite and found it to be roomy and very beautiful. The bed in particular was very comfortable which helped greatly since I tend to have a really bad back. We hope to be able to bring our teenagers the next time because St. Augustine offers alot to any age group. We parked our vehicle on Thursday and didn't get back in it until Sunday when we left.

My fiance' and I spent 3 days at the St Francis Inn Bed and Breakfast in early October. We had been to St Augustine several times, but this was our first stay in a Bed and Breakfast. Everything about our stay was perfect. Our room was across the street in the Wilson House. The room was bright and charming. We especially enjoyed having an evening cocktail on our back porch. The entire staff was so helpful. Caroly's cooking was delicious! We will be recommending the St Francis to all of our family and hope to return again soon!

We travel quite often and primarily stay at B&B's. We recently stayed at this inn and found it to be probably the BEST that we have ever stayed at. The staff was very helpful and friendly, especially our new friend, chef Gary. The room and grounds were beautiful. The food was incredible, with many different options. We just loved the granola and that homemade strawberry jam! We'll be back.

We stayed in Elizabeth's suite the weekend of Nov 6th. We were disappointed. While we loved the grounds and the staff, we found the room below what we had hoped for. We were traveling with our adult daughter and the pull out couch was so uncomfortable. She said it was the worst 2 nites sleep she can remember having in a hotel. The rugs were in great need of cleaning. While I adore the old charm the room needs to be updated. We were also a bit disappointed with the food or lack of it when we came to breakfast. I think you would want to know how we felt.

The Beach House was one of the best B&B locations we have ever visited and included the sumptious breakfast and other amenities that the historical inn offers - the best of both worlds. The staff was exceptionally accommodating and hospitable.

We recently stayed at the St. Francis Inn for a weekend getaway and I will never stay anywhere else on future visits to St. Augustine! It is a perfect location and the off street parking is such an added bonus!!! They have wonderful accommodations, beautiful ambience, great amenities and an absolutely wonderful and friendly staff who even took the time to research a specific store on their computer for us and put the coffee on extra early for us one of the mornings! We all felt so relaxed and comfortable. It was a perfect weekend and a perfect place!!

I have stayed at the St. Francis Inn three times now. Frankly, I could not imagine visiting this historic city without staying there. To me, the St. Francis Inn and St. Augustine go hand in hand... one inextricably connected to the other. The inn itself is of historical significance and has charming rooms of varying descriptions. I like to try a different room each time I visit. To visit the inn is to step back in time. Regardless of the room you choose, you will feel at home. The innkeepers are nice and all the staff is courteous. In short, many of the wonderful memories I have of this most unique city include the St. Francis Inn. It is my "home away from home" whenever I visit St. Augustine. Paul, Tampa Florida

I've stayed in many B&B! In several different Historic districts. St. Francis Inn surpasses them all. The staff is SOOOOOOOOO friendly and ready to help or answer any questions! I love the bicycles to enjoy the town! The food is beyond fabulous and they'll even share the recipes!! Woohoo!

Since my only experience with Bed And Breakfasts was through the romanticized versions in movies, I really wasn't sure what to expect at St.Francis Inn. It turned out to be an amazing experience, and I've already booked another stay there.

We stayed at the St. Francis Inn the last night of our trip all over Florida. We loved the house and the folks there. I even believe I had a visit from one of the resident ghosts! Thank you ever so much for a wonderful stay!

I was searching for a place in florida to visit and I had been told by many people St Augustine is very quaint town to visit. Well I searched and bed and breakfast places came up and then I started reading reviews. Well of all the B&B in the area St Francis Inn had the best reviews... Well they were not wrong from the very pleasant check in to seeing the Saffron Suite I was totally hooked the various services that they provide my boyfriend and I felt like we were the King and Queen for our stay. I totally enjoyed the town and I felt like a tourist and yet when I came back to St Francis Inn throughout the day I felt special and relaxed. I loved the Breakfast and the social hour was so very nice and what can I say about dessert time YUMMY!. Thank you for making my vacation awesome and I honestly can't wait to go back because I will most certainly be planning a long weekend in the winter time. NormaJean and Joshua

As I searched for the perfect 'getaway' surprise, I came upon wonderful reviews for the St Francis Inn. We've never stayed in a B&B and I thought we'd start with the oldest established Inn there in St Augustine. We were not disappointed from the moment we parked. Quant and Quiet. Wonderful staff. And when my husband says, "when we come back...", YOU KNOW it was A HIT. Great Hospitality and a Great FIRST experience at a B&B. Pete and Doreen Ooms (Brandon FL)

My family recently spent three nights at the St. Francis Inn (8/4/09) and absolutely LOVED it! Our daughter's (15 & 12) can't wait to go back too. A peaceful location, yet close enough to walk to the center of historic St. Augustine. They have plentiful parking, a beautiful courtyard, pool, free bikes and the use of lounge chairs, towels and a private bath/shower and parking area at the nearby beach. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food divine. This was our first Bed & Breakfast experience and we are totally hooked! Can't wait to return this coming winter for a long weekend.

We destressed in the comfort of this charming inn for two nights and did not want our stay to end. There was a Heavenly, peaceful feeling that surrounded the Inn and we could feel it as we arrived at guest parking only for the peace to overflow within us at the entrance. We were greeted by Bev, an inkeeper, and she greeted us with a lovely smile. Bev was a joy to talk with during our stay. Bev took us up to our room, "The Elizabeth Suite." Our suite was charming and comfortable and we could hear the sound of the horse carriages as they drove past. At night we could see the flashes of cameras from the ghost tours. The Inn is said to be haunted although we did not see any apparitions. It would have been nice if we did. Happy hour was fun with complimentary wine which we enjoyed. We also enjoyed a yummy breakfast of 5 Cheese Strata and Cranberry Oatmeal. Coffee, teas, and delicious cookies were always on hand. We were given complimentary tickets to the lighthouse. The Inn also has an extensive movie collection if you feel like watching a movie. The coutyard of the Inn is filled with the beauty of St. Francis statues, plants, flowers, Koi fish pond, and Zeke the cat is their to make it all complete. We enjoyed swinging and rocking on the porches. We could not have asked for better hospitality from all the innkeepers. We could tell the innkeepers wanted us to be happy! We are so happy that we chose the St. Francis Inn and hope to visit again soon!

after staying for three nights at what they call their best room we couldn't wait to leave. Our room was over the dining room and from 7:30 AM to late at night it was so noisy we had trouble sleeping. The lady who checked us in was very rude and we felt uncomfortable. We won't be back!!!!!!!!!

It was my first time at a B&B, and it won't be my last. The staff knew us by name. We purchased the 'Savor the Flavors' package. Great dining package if you don't know what restaraunts to choose. We stayed in the Ballarina room. Very comfortable. Loved the balcony and courtyard. We also loved the courtyard and balcony. Great location. We parked the car and didn't have to move it for 3 days. Historic St Augustine was only a few blocks away.

Our stay at the St. Francis was wonderful! We decided to stay an extra night. The staff is outstanding and Joe (owner) is always around and very accessible to speak to. I can not say enough about the service, from check in to check out someone was always there to help. I walk with a cane and Carolee went out of her way to tray my breakfast and help me to the courtyard to enjoy. Bev, George and I just love you!!! Joe has top notch employees on his staff who love the inn and it's guests. Chef makes a mean latte!!! Thank you Chef for all of them! Our room was SPOTLESS, you can walk barefoot and not be afraid. I can not wait to go back to the St. Francis Inn!!!!!

Growing up in Florida, there are many sights and scents that make me happy and content. At the St. Francis Inn, which I discovered six and a half years ago, all these memories come alive in the tranquil garden courtyard, the overly-soft and comfortable beds, the romantic whirlpool tubs, and the bench swings on the porches. The owners are always sincerely amiable and meet your every need. The rooms/suites are well kept and immaculate. Any food served tastes amazing, always above average standard. The many "perks" offered to the Inn's guests make the stay complete... I return every year to the St. Francis Inn. It has become a special escape from the every day! I recommend this Inn to everyone, and will continue to do so!

Larger than normal B&B (at least for us) but still better than a hotel and very nice. It's on the edge of this historic district and very quiet at night.

This is a first time stay at a bed and breakfast, and St. Francis was terrific. They had a social hour, free wine or beer. And later a desert hour, which we missed as we were relaxing in the hot tub for about 3 hours. We got complementery tickets to the St. Augustine lighthouse, and I walked to the top. The Inn offers bikes to ride around town, and their court yard was relaxing and peaceful. It was fantastic. My wife and I are already planning to go back again next year.

We took our 5 adult kids , along with their significant others for a 2 night stay at the St. Francis for a mini family get away. This was the first time in 16 years we had them all together for a vacation. The Inn exceeded their expectations in every aspect! We were all able to eat together, enjoy the beautiful courtyard, enjoy the nearby historical sites, and enjoy the pool. The food was excellent, even my son-in-law, who is a chef, had nothing but compliments on the food. The staff was exceptional in making sure everyone had everything they needed and went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. My husband and I have been going there for several years for mini getaways and decided to expose our kids to the bed and breakfast experience for this trip. They all want to return on their own for this truly unique experience, and all of us want to thank the Inn and their staff for an unforgettable time with nothing but happy memories in every single aspect. THANK YOU!!!

First time for a B&B (children are finally old enough and well-behaved), and we can't wait to do it again! Although the "pickins" were few that allowed children, we chose the best! The Inn was lovely, making us feel right at home, and the location was superb!

We spent a 4-day weekend at the St Francis Inn over Thanksgiving (also our anniversary). The staff could not have been nicer. Our room was lovely and they even had a small flat screen tv. The food was great and location very convenient. We were able to walk to most everything. Definitely would buy the 3-day train ticket (you can pick it up at The Old House around the corner). With the exception of the first evening, we left our car parked and walked or took the train. For the uninitiated, St. Augustine has narrow one-way streets and little parking. It was so nice not to have to think about it. The courteous and friendliness of the staff just added to a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

The room was beautiful, complete with the antique decor to the flat screen TV. The service from owner and staff was personable and friendly. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Due to an unfortunate incident, 1 of our rooms had to be changed. However, the move was pleasant and exceeded our expectations. We were made to feel at home. Everything is convenient, including parking, a rare thing in St. Augustine.Thank you for a perfect stay!!!
