My husband, daughter, son-in-law and myself were looking for the perfect wedding venue but weren't having much luck until we found this beautiful Bed and Breakfast on the riverfront in Palmetto. We fell in love with its charm, beauty and location as soon as we walked in. The owners, Wim and Mieke, were so friendly and helpful with even the... More

My husband and I have travelled though Europe and North America for 20 years, staying mostly at B&Bs, and this is the first review I’ve been compelled to write– that’s how excellent the experience was at the Palmetto Riverside. We were visiting the Gulf Coast of Florida for the first time in March 2012 and wanted to stay within easy... More

The Nirvana of b&bs. A beautiful old home, restored to the nth detail. There are six rooms ranging in size from a small full bed to an enormous king suite with water views on three sides. The place is spotless. Comfy beds (ours came with a step stool because the bed was very high). The engaging innkeepers, Wim and Mieke,... More

We just returned from the most relaxing, fun-filled 2 nights at this B&B. It really should be cross-listed with the town of Bradenton because it's so close - - it's within an easy 4-minute drive to Bradenton, an additional 20 minutes to beautiful AnnaMaria Island, 20 minutes to Sarasota and the Ringling place and about 30 minutes to downtown St...

We were in Florida for a family wedding which was held at the B & B and we stayed there for two nights. We were in the Lillie’s Garden Room. It was a smaller room, but well laid out. A comfortable bed and clean, crisp linens. The bathroom was large and comfortable and had wonderfully absorbent and plush towels. The... More

My wife and I are avid Phillies fans and were looking for a place to stay during our 5 day visit to Spring Training. Since it was my wife's birthday week, I decided on this romantic B&B instead of the usual chain hotels. The B&B is recently renovated with attention to every detail. The innkeepers could not have been more... More

The Palmetto Riverside B&B is a wonderful place--elegant yet comfortable--a beautifully restored and meticulously maintained home on the Manatee River. It is a quiet, peaceful spot yet close to all the activities Gulf Coast Florida has to offer. Even more important than the surroundings are the innkeepers. Wim & Mieke are from Belgium but speak English perfectly and are incredibly... More

My husband and I just spent 4 wonderful nights at this gorgeous B&B. This stay was the highlight of our trip to Florida. We stayed in the Riverside Suite, which is truly lovely, with a view of the river from our windows. The rooms are spotless, and the marvelous linens and towels are from Belgium. The house is beautiful in... More

As a retired airline pilot, I have stayed in the “usual suspect” hotels all over the world. So, when my wife and I travel for pleasure, we opt for country inns and B&Bs whenever possible. Prior to our trips, we do extensive research, but rarely do both the inn and the inn keepers live up to their reviews. The Palmetto... More
