Visiting the Charlotte Inn any time of year is a delight. Karen, my daughter-in-law, and I were guests in the fall which is a glorious season to visit Martha’s Vineyard.
What a pleasure it was to receive a phone call from my dear friend, Gerret Conover. He, and his wife Paula, are the owners of the Charlotte Inn, a Relais and Châteaux property and THE most charming Inn on Martha’s Vineyard. It is an internationally acclaimed destination!
In the evening, the stellar collection of notable artwork throughout the Inn is enhanced by picture lights which create a captivating atmosphere.
Gerret and Paula have created a truly enchanting English country paradise, from guest rooms filled with stunning antiques, to walls adorned with museum-quality artwork (oh, I LOVE their British sporting art), to timeless decorative accessories and an abundance of polished silver accessories.
This was my spacious guest bathroom which was elegantly appointed.
My husband Stuart and I have adored staying at this Inn and have savored the genuinely gracious hospitality. I always feel as if I have been transported to the most lovely slice of English paradise… but the best part? It is here in America, so no jet lag! The Charlotte Inn has been listed in the book, 1000 Places to Visit Before You Die, and rightfully so!
It was a delight to catch up with Gerret! I inquired about the glorious gardens, and he shared with me that they are more spectacular this year than ever! And, a new guest house has been created.
The piano behind me in this guest bedroom has been played by Carly Simon, among other notable guests.
For all of you gardeners and classic interior design enthusiasts, I was inspired to share this little video my daughter-in-law, Karen, and I created at the Charlotte Inn a few years ago. It brought back sweet memories for me. My recommendation to sojourn to the Charlotte Inn is heartfelt, and not an advertisement! Click the image below to view the video on my YouTube page.
If you visit, please say hello to the darling Conovers and their two adorable golden retrievers for me!
XX,
Holly
