This was our last stay in Canada after à three week holiday. THE warm welcome by Ilona and her caring way of hospitality was warm and wonderfull. Her breakfast was even more surprising! She is a magigan in her kitchen!

Ilona was very gracious, warm and friendly. We had a wonderful time at her b&b and Victoria. Her breakfasts were tasty and delicious and She is an excellent cook. We loved to hear the seagulls. Ilona knows Victoria and was very helpful suggesting nice places to visit. We would go back to this warm, cozy Hemingways by the Sea.

We stayed two nights in Ilona's B&B Hemingways by the Sea. We had a luxourious room with a lot of space. Ilona is a very friendly host and gives good advice where to go; a must go is Butchard Garden and a walk into town via the foot path close by the B&B. Finaly, Ilona serves an excellent breakfast. We...

This is our second visit to this B&B. We stayed here on our 30th anniversary and now we came back on our 40th anniversary. We had a bottle of wine and card waiting for us in our room What a nice touch!! Ilona is such a charming hostess and we enjoyed her just as much on our second time around....

It was great to have you back again. Thanks for the kind remarks. Coming back for a second, third and fourth visit, is the best compliment we can get. See you again, hopefully sooner. Ilona

We had a wonderful, restful stay at Hemingways! Ilona is a very gracious and warm hostess and we want to thank her so much for her wonderful breakfasts and excellent ideas of where to visit on Vancouver Island! Her bed and breakfast is a good value, located in a quiet residential neighborhood only about 10 minutes drive to downtown Victoria....

Thanks for your kind remarks. I work hard to make sure my guests are well looked after, so when we hear back, we know we are headed in the right direction. Come back soon. Love Ilona

We visited Victoria in July with family and the plan was to visit the Butcharts gardens which took us longer than expected. I had not booked any rooms in Victoria and in desperation, started to call B&B's at 10 pm. All were full or reluctant to accept guests that late. But not Ilona. She accepted us with open arms. It...

We read the reviews on Trip Advisor and decided to book Hemingways by the Sea for a 6 night stay. We had rented a car, so traveling to Victoria was not an issue. Hemigways is located in the Esquimalt area and a very short walk to the ocean. Walk one block west and 2 blocks south and you will arrive...

Clean and lovely home, with a warm welcome from the owner/hostess. She was very accommodating about breakfast and helpful planning our visit to beautiful Victoria! We loved the ocean view from our room. Our private bath was across the hall but not a problem.

Ilona became a fast friend. We really enjoyed her home,breakfasts and guidance of the area in Victoria. She made several very good suggestions. Her home is very cozy, private and comfortable. She goes beyond to make her guests feel at home and loved. I would highly recommend staying with her for a relaxing RR time.
