Sometime ago a lovely unassuming lady came to meet with me, I gave her a tour had a lovely little chat and then I see she wrote this wonderful piece about Villa 120!

 There are some truly gifted people out there - give Sarah a call if you need an expert planner you found her! P.S. I did not pay her!!!! :)


Villa 120 is a stately, three story home, located on the edge of Newport in Middletown, RI. This B&B is such a hidden treasure, and a perfect spot for your next event. A party there would be as intimate and personal as having a party at home, but with none of the hassle! I had a chance to check it out and meet with the owner of Villa 120, Corinna Britten (who is fabulously British and so great by the way!).

This amazing property comes complete with a long, tree-lined drive, and a charming fountain found at the end of a boxwood edged path. How European and cute is that? The large, expansive porch (perfect for outdoor cocktails!) opens into a spacious foyer complete with grand staircase. There’s a dining table that seats 20, but the table and chairs can be removed to make room for round tables to seat more guests.

 In all, Villa 120 can accommodate up to 60 for a sit-down meal. A front parlor is on the other side of the foyer, and a large living room sits down the hall. A professional cook’s kitchen is where Corinna whips up her famous breakfasts, but it’s also available for caterers to use on site. Villa 120 would be fabulous for an intimate wedding or milestone birthday. You and all of your friends could have the whole place to yourselves! I picture a fun and lively 50th birthday bash here, or an intimate garden wedding with a roaring ‘20s theme.

 The classical, grand architecture mixes beautifully with Corinna’s contemporary style. There are 6 guest bedrooms, each with it’s own private bath and “jewel” theme (my fave was the Pearl Room). She has clearly put in a lot of time and effort to design and upgrade this beautiful home. I look forward to visiting again, and I highly recommend taking a peek for yourself!
