Charles Hovey House Bed and Breakfast

Gloucester, Massachusetts

Charles Hovey House Bed and Breakfast is a bed & breakfast located in Gloucester.

In 1845 Charles hovey, a wealthy merchant, purchased a high bluff overlooking Gloucester Harbor in Massachusetts and proceeded to erect an elegant Tuscan villa. The similarities between Cape Ann and Tuscany had inspired Mr. Hovey. Besides the same latitude they share extraordinary natural beauty, a climate tempered by ocean currents and the glowing peachy-amber light that creates a Mecca for artists. Mr. Hovey's glorious Italianate manor is now a Bed & Breakfast. We invite you to come and revel in his vision.

And quite a wonderful vision it is. Across Hovey House's panoramic view of the harbor, boats of every description glide like swans as guests sip breakfast coffee on the awning covered verandah.

Places to eat within 5km of Charles Hovey House Bed and Breakfast include Poseidon’s, Yella, Boulevard Ocean View Restaurant, and Midori.
