The Belvedere Bed and Breakfast
at Peconic, is a truly unique experience. As you enter this magnificent,
regal home, you will feel as if you've gone back in time, to an age of
elegance and gentility. This 130 year-old Victorian Manor has been
beautifully preserved and restored to its original elegance with today's
conveniences. Hand-painted, fresco ceilings and walls grace the entryway,
parlor, and staircase. It's been said that an old whaling Captain first
built this house and artists came here and painted the ceilings and walls in
exchange for room and board. It's a pity no records were kept of the
identities of those artists! |
Regal burgundy and gold is the
color theme adorning the 12-foot ceilings and two Italianate marble
fireplaces. Ceiling to floor, original, lead-glass windows encircle the
dining alcove.
Go up the beautiful, hand-carved, winding, staircase to guest rooms that are
newly decorated, with plush, queen-sized beds and private baths.

Enjoy the shade of our 300 year-old golden beech tree. Relax on an
old-fashioned wicker love seat on the wrap-around porch. Enjoy an afternoon
nap on our hand-crocheted hammock. Our two-acre property is beautifully
landscaped with flowering perennials, fruit trees and evergreens for your
enjoyment.

The home was named to celebrate
the magnificent "belvedere" that graces the roof as the finishing touch to
this architectural masterpiece. The woodcarving that decorates the cupola
looks like fine lace typical of the Victorian era. From the "belvedere",
which means beautiful view, one can see serene farmland and vineyards of the
North Fork during the day and millions of stars at night. |
