Description: Savannah’s Azalea Inn and Gardens is a pleasant and pretty blend of comfort and convenience. You’ll receive a warm Southern welcome from innkeepers Teresa and Micheal Jacobson, the veteran hosts at this bed-and-breakfast located in a lush part of the Historic District near Forsyth Park. This Victorian home, circa 1889, offers eight rooms, two suites, and a two-bedroom second floor carriage house perfect for small families. The inn offers several friendly touches, including fresh fruit and finger foods that are available all day long. The dining room is adorned with murals depicting Savannah’s illustrious history, and the walls come to life in stories told each morning at breakfast, so be sure to ask. Breakfast is an experience in itself with some of the specialties well worth the trip. They include a beautiful orange cranberry croissant soufflé, creamy grits, and a delightful sectioned Clementine (orange) with ginger syrup and mint! Rooms are tastefully elegant and not “over-decorated” with too many knick-knacks. Several rooms offer working fireplaces and some offer spacious balconies and/or Jacuzzis. The innkeepers are particularly proud of their gardens that have been featured in several home tours. The shady courtyard garden is inviting, as is a refreshing swim in the pool after a day of sightseeing. Children over the age of 12 are welcome. The inn is nonsmoking throughout.
