Valentine's Package at Landmark Inn, Castroville
Looking for a romantic Texas getaway for Valentine's Day? The answer just might be Castroville's Landmark Inn, one of only two two Texas Parks & Wildlife properties that operates as a bed and breakfast establishment. (And what's the other, you ask? The Starr Mansion Historical Site in Marshall.)The 150+ year-old inn is offering a deluxe romantic package throughout the month of February. You'll be pampered with breakfast in bed one morning and enjoy the serenity of antique-furnished rooms with no telephones, television sets or other distractions.
The Package: The package includes a two-night stay at the inn on the banks of the Medina River, one evening of fine French dining at La Normandie Restaurant and lunch at the Castroville Café. Guests will arrive to find in their room a fresh flower arrangement and gift basket.
Breakfast in bed will be served one morning, with the other breakfast being offered in the parlor of the riverside Vance House, one of several historic structures on the five-acre site operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Guests booking the special package for the weekends of Feb. 10 and 17 also will receive free entry to an exhibit featuring handmade quilts from a handful of Castroville collections. The quilts will be on display in the Landmark Inn's new 800-square-foot reception/banquet hall that occupies the former location of the inn's museum.
Price: The package price ranges from $330 plus tax to $404 plus tax per couple.
About the Landmark Inn: The Landmark Inn offers 10 heated and air-conditioned rooms, four with private baths. Six of the rooms are in the main, two-story inn, while two are in the old rock bathhouse and two others are located in the Vance House.
Ranked among the state's Top 10 B&Bs by Texas Highways magazine readers, the Landmark Inn has been carefully restored and maintained to provide guests with an opportunity to touch Texas' frontier past while enjoying all the modern comforts of home. The inn dates to 1849 when Swiss merchant Cesar Monod built a store on El Camino Real at the nearby Medina River crossing.
To reserve your Valentine's package, call the inn at (830) 931-2133.
