Featured B&B: Villa Estelle - French Riviera

Book Your Stay At a B&B Now!

Ok, we really hate to perpetuate the cliché of booking summer travel to white beach destinations, complete with palm trees, but when looking out of the window, it sounds great right about now!
For instance, you can't go wrong when going to southern France, whether it is the Provence or the French Riviera, check out Le Moulin de Souchières in Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue on our Provence page, a charming property located midway between Avignon and Carpentras.
The inn, originally built in 1812, is situated on 2.5 hectares, including 1 hectares of landscaped park with beautiful outdoor swimming pool. Le Moulin de Souchières welcomes families with children and promises to seduce you with its charm and character and the calm and comfort of living in the countryside.
Or how about Italy where you might like to visit the island of Sardinia or Ischia, both offer plenty of sunshine. The Caribbean is, for good reason, a permanent staple on most peoples' wish list. IBBP has fantastic choices in places like Jamaica, Saint Lucia or Puerto Rico!
Let's also not forget that now is the time to book a trip for Mom (Mother's Day is May 13!!!) to a destination she has dreamed of It may be a getaway to an elegant inn in California's Sonoma Valley, such as the Grey Gables Bed and Breakfast Inn in Sutter Creek, California, an elegant Victorian inn which exudes English charm in the heart of California's Gold Country and has earned 5 stars from your fellow IBBP travelers.
It is in the truest sense of the word, a getaway. With eight comfortable bedrooms, a formal dining room, and a large parlor with a double alcove, the Grey Gables Inn has the unmistakable look and feel of an English Country Manor.
Take a moment, a cup of tea and with a few clicks of your mouse you will find that we have bed and breakfasts that will delight her and show her how much she means to you!
