We couldn't have asked for anything nicer than staying with Rita, Steph and Lilly at the Albert Shafsky House in Placerville 10/8/2012 . . . everything was delightful. Recommendations for dinner at The Independent provided us with one of the best meals we've experienced. Only to be followed by a superb "benedict" dish Rita had prepared for us in the morning. Everything added up to be a "top drawer" experience.

I had a very nice stay. The house was very cozy and well appointed. I felt like I was staying with friends for the weekend. There were lots of laughs with the other guests around the breakfast table. The food was creative and delicious. I plan on staying here again.

4.8 out of 5An Outstanding B&B in Placerville, CA
July 25, 2012
My wife and I just experienced an outstanding stay at the Albert Shafsky B&B. I think the service and the attention Rita gave to us was splendid. Besides making fantastic breakfasts, the Shafsky Benedict was unsurpassed, the other amenities were very exceptional as well from providing very good wines to enjoy with pleasant conversation to other liquid refreshments. She was very helpful in providing great dinner recommendations as well as making reservations for us which resulted in a discount at the restaurants with frequented. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend if one is looking for an exceptional B&B in the Placerville area the Albert Shafsky is the place to stay.
