Veralma, an 1850 Italianate estate on South Hill, offers
gracious accommodations in a Bed and Breakfast home. The
residence of an early mayor of Ithaca, the house has changed
little during the last century, although the facilities have
been up-dated to contemporary standards. The grand spacious
rooms on the first floor have twelve-foot high ceilings with
intricate plaster work. The sleeping rooms on the second floor are large and airy with tall windows. The most striking feature of Veralma is a
winding three-story walnut staircase crowned by a cupola. The
grounds are lovely and include a swimming pool and original
carriage house. |

Veralma is five minutes from Cornell University and Ithaca
College and three blocks from downtown Ithaca, the" Paris of
the Finger Lakes". Unique shops, renowned restaurants and a movie
theater are three to five blocks away. Veralma is centrally
located with respect to most of the sites visitors enjoy in
the Ithaca area. Within a twenty-minute drive there are three
New York State Parks that offer waterfalls, hiking and
swimming. The Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, Watkins
Glen, the Corning Museum of Glass and the several other lakes
of the Finger Lakes region are all within a one-hour drive. |
