My wife and I stayed at the Almondy Inn the week before Christmas. It was our first time in Newport and the Almondy was recommended by a friend. We were looking for something different than a hotel...something romantic, interesting and laid back. This was exactly what we were looking for. It was a perfect home base for shopping in the quaint downtown area as well as short trips to see the mansions all done up in their holiday decorations....fantastic. I agree with other reviewers, the best part was the interesting conversations over morning breakfast with Evelyne (Innkeeper) who is a gourmet breakfast chef extraordinaire. You will love it.
