Fodor's Expert Review La Casita del Sol
1607 S. Harrison St., Amarillo, Texas, 79102, USA
Near downtown, in the Plemons–Eckle historic district, the "little house of the sun" is a 1927 Spanish-eclectic-style home, restored and renovated as a bed-and-breakfast. It feels somewhat like an art gallery, with interior style created by local artists (most of the display art is for sale). Each of the four intimate rooms has a private bath and either overlooks or opens onto a generously sized walled garden, in the Spanish tradition. Shared areas are great for getting to know your fellow guests, many of whom are repeat visitors. Chef Bonnie's breakfasts play a starring role in the experience here—even the jams are made in-house—so budget your calories accordingly.
