Gotham November, 2002
from 50 Fabulous Fall Escapes -- New York
The Villa at Saugerties (Saugerties, 845-246-0682, doubles from $85): Not a big fan of bed & breakfasts with shabby-chic furnishings and crabby innkeepers who are hell-bent on B&B rules? The Villa at Saugerties is a boutique-hotel/country-getaway hybrid, complete with modern conveniences and decor, as well as a pair of "innkeepers" who happen to be Manhattan emigre's.

Villa at Saugerties
Dreams of babbling brooks and herds of horses are cut short in the city, thanks to construction and honking cabs. But those visions are realized at the Villa at Saugerties, a cozy Catskills B&B. Blending the rustic with the cosmopolitan, the, four rooms in this Mediterranean-style home are ideal for 'the urbanite seekirig solace. That is, after all, what sparked owners and former Manhattanites Aimee Szparaga and Richard Nocera to set up camp here. Enjoy breakfast on the patio, followed by a swim in the 40-foot pool, or just curl up by the Dutch-Modern fireplace.
