Albemarle Inn, poised in the Grove Park residential district in Asheville, NC is an exquisite Greek Revival mansion with distinctive features including Corinthian columns, stone veranda, expansive ceilings and polished oak paneling.
This AAA 4-Diamond Bed and Breakfast is minutes away from downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains.
Innkeepers Fabrizio and Rosemary Chiariello purchased the Albemarle four years ago. Fabrizio brings years of business savvy in international banking and private industry, in the U.S. and Italy, while Rosemary worked in New York’s fashion industry. Their hectic pace of living and working in Manhattan prompted them to “find a new life that was less stressful and more enjoyable,” says Fabrizio.
He and Rosemary previously owned a very large 12-room inn in the Berkshires, with a restaurant and bar, for 15 years. Then, the Chiariellos were approached by a buyer. “He presented us with an offer we could not refuse,” says Fabrizio. They sold their inn and spent three months looking at properties across seven states before deciding on Albemarle Inn, with its beautiful location, spectacular grounds and elegant style.
Their strong business sense and social charm make them an unbeatable combination as your gracious hosts. Fabrizio ensures smooth business operations at the inn. Rosemary, an executive chef trained in Italy, and award-winning baker, offers a creative flair and an artist’s eye to this gorgeous retreat.
