Historic Villa Steps to Downtown - High Street Inn
Summary:
Whole House LISTING for exclusive use of property - Perfect for Group, Wedding & Corporate - steps from the historic Downtown, Omni, & Common House
The Space:
Welcome to the High Street Inn, an exquisite six-bedroom villa nestled in the heart of downtown Charlottesville.
This hidden gem offers unparalleled access to the vibrant energy of the city, with the Downtown Mall just a five-minute stroll away and West Main Street only seven minutes on foot.
As you arrive, you'll be greeted by the charm of a beautifully preserved Mediterranean villa, dating back to the 1900s. The stucco façade, adorned with classic Spanish tiles, opens up to lush gardens, private
terraces, and a meticulously landscaped outdoor patio—a true oasis in the middle of the city. High Street Inn is entirely self-service, providing you with the utmost privacy and convenience. For those
reserving the entire property, the villa accommodates up to 14 guests, offering exclusive access to all its luxurious amenities, including eight private parking spaces, a spacious kitchen, elegant living and dining
areas, a coffee bar (There is a Keurig and pods in the Butler's Pantry where you enter the house and a standard drip machine in the main kitchen - it may be in a cabinet if it hadn't been used by previous guests), entertainment spaces, and the serene outdoor patio. If you are traveling solo or with a small party, 5 of our rooms and suites are able to be rented
individually. Each well-appointed room shares access to the villa's common areas, including the coffee bar, kitchen, living and dining rooms, entertainment spaces, and the tranquil outdoor patio. Whether
you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, High Street Inn promises a perfect blend of downtown convenience, timeless elegance, and complete autonomy.
Please note that the interior stairs are very narrow and fairly steep!
Exclusive Wine Country Experiences
As our guest, you'll receive preferred pricing with Monticello Wine Tour & Coach Co., one of Charlottesville's most highly reviewed luxury transportation and wine tour companies. Discover award-winning wineries, breweries, cideries, and scenic vineyards while your private chauffeur takes care of every detail.

There was a small hiccup with the locks, but the host was very responsive and had it resolved immediately. She was wonderful and very accommodating. I had my bridal party stay here, and we got ready in the beautiful living room and kitchen space-it was absolutely perfect. I would definitely stay here again!
Our group (5 staying on property) plus a few locals enjoyed a wonderful weekend reunion in Charlottesville. The house was perfect for a large group, not only for sleeping, but also as a base for visiting old UVA haunts, as well as dining on the downtown mall and main street (We walked to both locales - perfect location!).
This house is stunning and walkable to everything in downtown Charlottesville! The home feels like a Spanish villa and each room is decorated incredibly. We had a group of 13 for a bachelorette party and we had plenty of space for ourselves and to gather in the living room, kitchen, and cute courtyard. Everyone in our party was obsessed with this house. The service was wonderful and it was also very cool to get access to the social club. Can't recommend this place enough!

Location on very busy road. Could walk to mall, though. No smoke alarms No soap in the bathroom showers (only shampoo or hand soap on the sinks) There was not a hairdryer in each room, as I was told there would be Many of the trashcans -- even those in the bathrooms -- had no liners The TVs in many rooms did not work There was a large number of stink bugs in one of the bedrooms The outside light on the patio didn't work No wineglasses in the main kitchen
