We were excited about our planned stay at Contessa Suites. Just prior to our stay and after full refund cancellation period, Richard notified us to say there was very loud construction in front of the house starting very early in the morning. He offered us the option of a full refund which we ended up taking.While in Milton we walked by the home and it was very beautiful.We very much appreciated the communication and refund which tells us a lot about how they do business.We will look into booking again when visiting Milton for Milton theatre shows.

A Beautiful Inn

The Contessa Suite was a wonderful place for our long weekend of exploring the nearby Delaware shore. Located in the charming town of Milton, our room was large, spotlessly clean, meticulously decorated and had all the amenities that we expect in a small inn. We especially liked the large balcony that overlooked the lovely and peaceful lawn/garden below. Richard, our host, was friendly, welcoming and very helpful in recommending businesses in Milton and in suggesting places to explore on the shore.

Pleasant and relaxing place to stay!

Richard is the most wonderful host—he made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The property is just beautiful, with perfectly manicured lawns and gorgeous roses and flowers in the garden. Spacious room, comfortable bed, luxurious sheets and bedding, great shower, and a beautiful balcony porch to unwind at the end of the day. We’ll be back next time we’re in Delaware.

WOW

This place is amazing. The house is beautifully decorated and maintained. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Fridge is stocked with some water, ketchup, mustard and mayo. Creamer, coffee, tea sugars. And even a box of kleenex in the room. The privite porch is beautifully decorated and nice to sit out and watch the beautiful birds and admire the garden. So many thoughtful extras. Just a short walk to Milton Theater and Irish Eyes restaurant.

A slice of Charleston

This place really stands out in the town. It really looks like a slice of Charleston set in Milton. The grounds, the house, and furnishings were all very nice. I especially like sitting out on the covered porch and relaxing. The host was very hospitable.

This was a perfect quick get away. It was quiet, but close to all the beach activities. The pillows and mattress were so comfortable. I have not slept that well in years. Sitting on the covered balcony was very relaxing. We will be back.

The Charleston of Milton

This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Richard welcomed us warmly and gave us a brief explanation of the property’s history. The yard is landscaped nicely with a variety of trees, flowers and ornaments. Our room was beautifully furnished and a perfect size for our 2 night stay and was supplied with all the basic necessities in the kitchenette and bathroom. If we ever need a place to stay in southeast Delaware, this is the first place we will try to reserve.

A gem

What a gorgeous and peaceful spot. The inn was impeccably designed and decorated, and extremely comfortable. We had our coffee in the mornings on our balcony looking over the garden. We slept deeply. A short walk around the corner brings you to the main area of the little town of Milton, with homemade ice cream and a couple of cute cafes and shops. Lewes and the Rehoboth area are not far, so it's easy to spend a day at the beach or go out to dinner, and then return to this oasis of calm. Richard and Steve were kind and friendly without being intrusive, the perfect balance for innkeepers. We were visiting nearby family, and I look forward to staying at the inn again on our next visit. (If I had one tiny suggestion, it would be room darkening material on the windows, but the curtains are so pretty that I don't know what would work without spoiling the room. But this is nit picking on a wonderful place.)
