Known as the oldest city, St. Augustine is one of the best places to stay in Florida, especially for its old-world charm and romantic atmosphere. There is so much history here, in the cobblestone streets, ancient brick buildings, and monuments built hundreds of years ago. In fact, when you choose the St. Francis Inn as your lodging, you’ll be staying at what’s often considered one of the “oldest inns” completed in 1791.
Our historic Inn encapsulates a time of yore, in its Spanish-Colonial design, the walled courtyard initially built as protection against invasion, and the eclectic nooks and crannies of our interior. If you’re interested in slipping back into time while still enjoying modern amenities, our St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast is one of the best places to stay in Florida.
