Meranova Guest Inn
Dunedin, Florida
I know most of you are wondering - where is Dunedin? Well, it's in Central Florida, bordered by Clearwater to the South and East, the Gulf of Mexico to the West and Palm Harbor to the North. It is very close to one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida - Caladesi State Park. Dunedin is one of the most quaint and charming towns in the state. Stroll the streets for fine dining, art galleries and shops.
Sitting in the middle of the downtown area is the Meranova Guest Inn, which I toured and found to be lovely. The rates are reasonable, all suites have a private entrance and there is a heated pool. It sits across the street from a top notch restaurant, La Maison Gourmet owned by Chef John Lewis. Food was great and they have a wine bar, outdoor eating area and offer culinary classes as well.

The Francis Malbone House is the epitome of elegance, located in the heart of Newport's Historic Harborfront. The estate was built in 1760 for Colonel Francis Malbone who made his fortune as a shipping merchant. The design of the house is attributed to Peter Harrison, "America's First Architect", who is also responsible for the Touro Synagogue and the Redwood Library. The Francis Malbone House has been lovingly maintained throughout the years, as evidenced by the painstaking restoration undertaken during the early 1970's. In 1996, a sensitively designed addition was added, allowing the inn to expand from nine to a total of eighteen luxurious guestrooms. In 2000, our most recent expansion was completed when we purchased and restored the Benjamin Mason House, a free standing colonial home, c. 1750. The Benjamin Mason House features a suite and a guestroom bringing our total number of rooms to twenty.
