Amante delle Arti

This circa 1860 townhouse is located on a tiny street in the Fairmount Section of the city. A newly renovated 3 room suite on the third floor allows for complete privacy. A comfortable, sunny bedroom with a queen-size bed provides a relaxing space to sleep. The adjoining new bath has a glass stall shower. Down the hall, a cozy den lined with bookshelves has a flatscreen t.v., a selection of DVDs, and an electric fireplace. The futon in the den is a great spot for reading or watching t.v., and it converts to a full-size bed that can accommodate an extra guest. Cable television and Wifi are available. The hosts have equipped another room on the floor with a small refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker. This cheery art deco inspired space has a table and chairs, and this is where your hostess sets out a continental breakfast each morning. In warmer weather you may want to head up to the rooftop deck which is accessed from a spiral staircase in this room.

LOCATION

Located in the Fairmount neighborhood, the Amante delle Arti B&B is walking distance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A short bus ride will take you to the Convention Center or Historic Area. The Eastern State Penitentiary is just a block away. Voted one of the 10 top haunted houses in the country, the Penitentiary offers tours all year round. This accommodation is in close proximity to twenty-five restaurants, and shops are within a few blocks walk of this charming location.

YOUR HOSTS

Just a block away from the famous Eastern State Penitentiary, this house may have been home to a warden at one time. Today the Amante delle Arti, or Lover of the Arts, is home to a couple who love to travel. Your hostess is a writer, and she works with a museum in Philadelphia. Your host is a talented artist and photographer in his spare time, and many of his pieces adorn the walls throughout the home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were quiet, yet friendly. They provided cut-up fruit and a tasty bread item every morning. Coffee and tea were available at all times. The bedroom, eating area, and tv room were lovely and comfortable. We really enjoyed going up on the rooftop to look-out over the city. We would recommend the Amante delle Arti to anyone who wants to stay close to the art museum area.

Our experience at the Amante dell Arti was wonderful. The host even moved his car to provide us with a parking space on the street! They were both charming and helpful, identifying favorite restaurants, safe crossing place for Ben Franklin Parkway, access to rooftop views of the neighborhood. The accommodations were meticulously clean, continental breakfast tasty, k-cups for coffee, and a voluminous array of brochures with maps, pictures, directions, etc.This was all very helpful for first time visitors to Philadelphia. We will return to the city and to this b&b
