I stayed at the villa the last weekend in April. It was a little gift to my boyfriend for having a rough month. After a hellish 4 and a half hour ride from the city (mapquest sucks) we arrived at this beautiful villa in the country. Amy welcomed us and showed us to our room (the solarium) and gave us a little tour and showed us the attractions book. The room was lovely, a bit small but the complimentary vodka and wine made up for it. Saugerties is a really artsy town with lots of galleries, antique and chocolate shops. The first night we ate at the red onion. The menu was limited but the food was really good. The next night we ate at the bear cafe (make reservations for the weekend, things fill up fast). The service was excellent, food not as good for me as the red onion. My boyfriend and I never woke up early enough for breakfast so I didn't get to experience Amy's cooking, but her cookies, always available, were great. There was always bottled water and perrier in the fridge. And there were books to read and board games to play. I look forward to coming back with my sweetie when the weather gets a little warmer. Oh and book early, when I called to book "the studio" in march I was told it wasn't available for a weekend until mid-june. Just two weeks later I was told it wasn't available until mid-august. I just got in for the last room (the solarium) when I called. The place was booked that weekend. I'm hoping to get the studio before the summer ends.
