Valentines in Charleston: A Date Guide
When it comes to romantic cities, Charleston, South Carolina is definitely one with a history of the sport. With her historic charm, shadowed by old oaks and Spanish moss, and abundance of cultural centers and beautiful parks, Charleston is a popular vacation destination for lovers. If you're looking for a Valentines Vacation idea with Bluegreen resorts, look no further than The Lodge Alley Inn. From the vacation villas Bluegreen has to offer, to a date night filled with the intimacy, charm and moments of splendor, we've got the best Valentine's Vacation Plan for you.
The Bluegreen resort offers an air of romance all its own. With historic buildings and period pieces and reproductions, the walls emanate historic charm and hospitality. Original pine floors and red brick walls, thick Oriental carpets and intimate parlors will keep the romance alive and warm, as the fireplaces whisper warmth throughout the villas. Whether you stay in for an entire day, or simply use the space as your post-dinner haven, you'll enjoy everything the suite has to offer.
If you're looking for a great place to dine with your loved one, look no further than Circa 1886. Opened in 2000, Circa has become a regional favorite, boasting world-class cuisine with a subtle Southern inspiration and healthful, distinctive spin. Chef Marc Collins incorporates whole grains into dishes and uses local, in-season products, meaning dishes are bright, bold and without the large amounts of cream and butter typically associated with Southern flavor. Aside from their incredible menu, the restaurant provides a great experience to accompany. The Service Philosophy of Circa 1886 is based upon the knowledge that a great dinner isn't just about the food or wine, but the cumulative experience. Thus the staff is professional, attentive, experienced and treats guests like part of the family. So, go – be part of the family and enjoy a romantic, wonderful and well-rounded Valentine's dinner at Circa.
Then tour the city with Classic Carriage Works, the most charming, elegant and romantic way to see the sights. Cuddle up behind the Clydesdales and Percherons and listen to the carriage driver tell you the stories of Old Charleston, haunted houses and the current culture. Have the driver take you past the Battery, and find romance in the 100-year-old oaks that line walkways and shade benches. The middle pavilion is one of the Southeast's most popular places to marry, and you'll see why.
After the tour, take your own walk along the waterway, watching the lights twinkle off the seawater. Or go for after-dinner drinks at High Cotton, another highly-rated restaurant in Charleston. It's also right next to The Lodge Alley Inn, making it extremely convenient. If you stop in for a nightcap, ask the bartender for one of the daily specials, they're always incredible. If you're not a cocktail drinker, take a look at the wine list, an extensive selection of reds, whites and bubbles will please your pallet.
And of course, you can always enjoy the views and feel of the city from the comfortable, cozy and luxurious villas at The Lodge Alley Inn.
