"On the shores of Wakulla Springs, this dated but charming lodge is distinctive for its magnificent Spanish architecture and old-world furnishings, such as rare Spanish tiles."

By all means, ask for a room in the front so you'll have a lake view.

"The only luxe spot in the area, the Portofino is a stunning, Mediterranean-style, 28-acre condominium resort at the quieter east end of Pensacola Beach, adjacent to the pristine beaches of the Gulf."

"The one and only deluxe stay in the entire area, this gorgeous Italian-style resort has all you need. The lovely rooms, all of which overlook the Gulf, are no less than condo apartments."
