HISTORIC ITALIANATE MANSION ON FORSYTH PARK

This lovely home is absolutely charming. It has been restored beautifully and its incredibly high ceilings, gas fireplaces, spacious rooms and lovely decor make this a wonderful home to stay in. The listing photos were accurate and the property was clean and well-maintained. The owner was quite helpful. My group of 5 women found this home to be everything it was reported to be. It is located right across from Forsyth Park and an easy drive (less than 5 minutes) from historic downtown. Adequate street parking here is a plus. I was slightly cautious about the reportedly tiny kitchen, but it was adequate for preparing full meals while we were there, although we had to be strategic about fridge space without a full-size refrigerator. Lovely home!

The mansion was beautifully restored and the grounds were charming. The pictures do not do it justice compared to seeing it in person. However, the kitchen was very small and not at all indidcated by the pictures listed. I also noticed the property was not very clean, there was dust everywhere, the floors needed to be swept and the bathroom was not spotless.
I would recommend this property to others and would consider it again for my stays in Savannah, as long as the cleanliness was up to par.

My group (two couples) stayed at the Italianate Mansion for the weekend of the Rock 'n' Roll Savannah Marathon. The location was ideal as it was steps away from the finish line. It was a little over a mile to River Street, but this was fine for our active group. The Mansion itself was beautifully restored and very spacious. The bedrooms and bathrooms were well appointed and very comfortable. The two upstairs bathrooms are ensuite which is great for privacy. There is a half bath on the first floor in addition to the upstairs bathrooms. There is a large dining room and large living room. We enjoyed sitting on the side porch and hearing the garden fountains. Drawbacks: The kitchen was more of a "kitchenette" and was quite small. However, this was not a problem for us as we mostly took advantage of the variety of excellent restaurants Savannah has to offer. The noise from the street was very loud (probably due to the age of the home and the windows) and I could see this being a problem for light sleepers. There is a tv in each bedroom, but none in the main living space. It would have been nice to have one in the main living space when everyone wanted to be together and watch some of the football games on tv. These complaints are minor inconveniences however, and overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a wonderful time and loved Savannah and loved the Italianate Mansion. We would absolutely stay there again, and would recommend it to friends as well.
