The Francis Malbone House in Newport, R.I.
Let us continue with yesterday's romantic theme. Not surprisingly, BedandBreakfast.com thinks that B&Bs are the perfect places to celebrate honeymoons or anniversaries. So its editors roamed America and Europe to compile this list of perfect places for such occasions. The inns were chosen for their amenities, recreation-rich locations, and decor, hospitality and cuisine. Many cost less than $500 for a two-night stay, but several higher-priced "exceptional choices" are also included. The list:
