We were in town for a weekend and had the BEST stay at Saravilla. What a beautiful property! The house is truly breathtaking, but still felt cozy and homey. We came home after dinner and hungout/played pool in the parlor and drank wine. Honestly it felt like we were at home...just a very, very fancy home... lol. The breakfast was fabulous each morning - Kelly did a fantastic job at making folks feel at home and still proving excellent service. 10/10!

This was our first ever stay at a Bed & Breakfast. The house is huge and beautiful. The host is very kind and willing to answer question. Even gave us a tour and history of the place. He was very easy just to chat with us. The room was big and comfortable. If you want quiet then thus is the place. Was great meeting other guest and having breakfast with them in the morning. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend and has changed our minds about staying at standard hotel. Want to stay at more B&B's!!!

It was absolutely amazing if you like old style things. The interior and exterior are so beautiful. All the history of it is explained by the owners. Kelly was a great host, friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfast is delicious! The rooms with the bathrooms are almost as big as our little house. Would definitely stay there again if we are doing anything in that area. Not a whole lot to do in the Alma area but the surrounding areas there are things to do, we found that out later. They have 2 cats there that are friendly and love attention. It was such a welcomed stay. My wife and I absolutely loved it!

The cats were my favorite part! They aren’t allowed in bedrooms for those who are allergic. But it was really nice to hang out with the kitties especially Abby the black cat. Kelly was very informative about the house and very pleasant to speak to. Will be going back in May and will be excited to see my new friends!

Our accommodations were clean, comfortable and nicely decorated with period furniture and Knick knacks. The host served breakfast in the main dining room was excellent, as was the coffee! 😊 We are glad we chose to stay at this lovely and interesting bed and breakfast!

One bathroom was across the hall from the room but that did not hinder our stay at all. We felt like we were in a very private home. We will definitely stay there again if we are ever in the Alma area.
