Come savor the past at St. Francis Inn. Located in St. Augustine Antigua, the restored historic district of the Nation's oldest city, the Inn is rich in Old World charm and modern comforts.

Founded in 1565 by Pedro Menendez and a band of colonists and soldiers, the bayfront city of St. Augustine still reflects its Spanish heritage in beautiful, evocative architecture amid subtropical natural splendor. The Inn, originally built by Senor Gaspar Garcia in 1791, is constructed of "coquina" limestone, which is made up of broken shells and coral. The entrance faces a courtyard and garden containing lush banana trees, bougainvillaea, jasmine and other exotic flora. Two courtyards, private and shared balconies and a patio are perfect places for guests to read, write, paint, or just rest.

A walk through the oldest city's historic district is not to be missed. Guests at the Inn receive free admission to the nearby Oldest House - one of St. Augustine's finest attractions.

The Inn has a swimming pool and complimentary bicycles for touring downtown. Music in the courtyard is offered Sunday evenings April through October. The Inn is conveniently located within walking distance of St. Augustine's many charming restaurants, quaint shops and historic sites.
