Located only 5 minutes from Victoria's Inner Harbour

The only Condé Nast Johansens recommended Victoria Bed and Breakfast is the Villa Marco Polo Inn. Located in the elegant Rockland quarter, short blocks from both Craigdarroch Castle and Government House, the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen’s representative in the province of British Columbia. This classically designed Victoria bed and Breakfast inn has an Italianate garden evoking images of Tuscany and Umbria, and four beautifully appointed suites. Built in 1923 as a gift to a young bride, the architecture reflects an Italian Renaissance style in its design. Today this unique property, endorsed by Select Registry North American Guide to Distinguished Inns as well as Condé Nast Johansens, remains popular as one of the most romantic places for a honeymoon in Victoria BC, as well as a choice vacation and wedding location in Victoria BC. The bedrooms, the Silk Road Suite, the Zanzibar Suite, the Persia Suite and the Alexandria Suite, feature double soaker tubs and separate tiled showers, romantic fireplaces, desks, private telephones, fine linens, hardwood floors with Persian carpets, and comfortable beds. 

Fresh flowers fill the rooms, which are tastefully decorated with antiques and fine art from proprietors Eliza Livingston’s and Clarke Bingham’s family collections. Sumptuous gourmet breakfasts featuring locally grown produce are served in the formal paneled dining room overlooking the garden, or in the sun-drenched Italian ‘Orangerie. Vegan, gluten-free, or vegetarian meals are available upon request. In the afternoons, guests can enjoy tea and sherry either in the tranquil gardens or in front of the fire in the wood-paneled library of our exclusive Victoria bed and breakfast in BC, Canada. The inn is located minutes from downtown Victoria and the city's beautiful Inner Harbour. Innkeepers Karen McDiarmaid and Dan MacDougall, and Associate Manager Liam Morton will arrange fine dining experiences for guests, as well as activities such as whale watching, sailing, paddling, golf, and tours of local vineyards and the Gulf Islands. Spa services and esthetician services can be scheduled at our guest’s convenience. It is a short walk from this beautiful Rockland inn to historic Craigdarroch Castle and to the beautiful park-like gardens of Government House.
