La Villa Romaine Bed and Breakfast reviews
Additional details
Louis XV Room - This room is the most romantic bedroom in the villa, and is the only upstairs bedroom featuring a marble fireplace. In fact, the marble fireplace was installed by one of the previous owners in the 1870’s for his daughter’s wedding night! The early 18th century Louis XV full-size painted bed was owned by Mrs. Roy’s grandmother, and is the bed Mrs. Roy was born in. Interestingly, when the producers of the CBS Miniseries about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings came to town looking for authentic French furniture to use for Jefferson's Paris apartment, they chose to rent this bed. So, this is the same bed used by Sam Neill in the nationally broadcast Sally Hemings: An American Scandal! Other items of interest in the room are the mid-1800’s dresser, an oversize English tall chest of drawers, the French etchings on the walls, and a small 18th century Regency gilded mirror hung over the dressing table.
Louis XVI Room - This room is furnished in the Louis XVI style, and features a French blue, white, and gold striped wallpaper. The c1890 Louis XVI King size bed (which began as a pair of French twin beds) was purchased by the Roy’s at an antique market in northern France, and was made in the mid-1800’s. The Louis XVI three door armoire and chevets are also from the mid-1800’s. The blue and white porcelain dishes came from Mrs. Roy’s family. The light fixture in this room, as well as the other bedrooms, are original to the house.
Provence Room - This room features a magnificent country French-style iron king-size bed. The bedroom also features an antique Provence iron wash stand, as well as a section of a balcony from an old apartment building from Nice converted into a plant stand. Decorated in a light and airy motif, it is a trip to Provence in the Springtime.
Renaissance Room - The Renaissance Room is the only masculine bedroom in the bed-and-breakfast. It features a heavily carved c1850 Henri II full-size bed, along with a matching bed crown the size of a small stage! Also in this room are a Henri II French desk, a Henri II armoire, and bookcase, dated mid-1800’s. It is believed Gen. David Birney of the Union Army stayed in this room (so he could keep an eye on Gen. Grant at the Thomas Wallace House down the street) after the fall of Petersburg in 1865.
