Villa Marco Polo Inn

The villa grounds are absolutely beautiful and the mansion has an old world elegance that makes you feel like you are visiting an exotic far away place. There are many cozy corners in which to sit and relax including a wainscotted second story bibliotheca with views of the sound and the snow capped mountains of the Olympic peninsula. Diana and Alex, our hosts, were charming and attentive and their breakfast offerings are 4 course wonders!

Superb breakfasts prepared by Diana with great presentation in an elegant dining room. Beautiful Italian garden behind the property and worth taking a stroll in. Refined and tasteful décor in the Penthouse Shiraz room (where we stayed) as well as in the common areas (there is an Asian-themed 'sunken room' with skylights adjacent to the garden that is gorgeous). If you appreciate the finer things in life and look for quality furnishings in elegant surroundings, then look no further than Villa Marco Polo. I also liked the fact that there were tons of books in our room that I could peruse. Innkeepers Diana and Alex make you feel welcome and they maintain the property very well.

Glass soap dispenser bottle by the bathtub was not working; I had to take out the pump dispenser to get out the liquid soap. Minor thing, but I'm sure that can be fixed.

This is a brilliantly decorated and maintained property. It was like staying in a museum. Everything was so beautifully chosen and placed. It was an absolute delight to explore the house and grounds. The innkeepers, Diana and Alex, were personable, attentive, respectful, inventive, resourceful, and were incredible cooks. The four-course daily breakfasts were culinary delights – – every morning a completely new menu, intricately planned, on served on completely different dishware. Diana spent time with us on our first morning orienting is to the area, so we would not miss anything! Even with this description, there’s no way that I would ever be able to convey how beautiful this place is. I hate to say this, because if you book there I might not get in again, but please do consider this to be the place you want to stay. What a wonderful time we had! Thanks so much Diana and Alex!

No criticisms really—just a tip—let them know what your food needs are. They usually serve vegetarian but will serve breakfast meats if requested.

Awesome house with outstanding hosts. Hard to beat 4 course, quality breakfast that never repeated.

The breakfast was excellent (food quality and service). The outdoor fountain and landscaping were especially excellent. Lovely and relaxing outdoors.

Nothing to dislike.
