The six-room Villa D’Citta is a cozy, romantic bed-and-breakfast occupying in a 19th-century stone mansion in residential Lincoln Park. Its small handful of features are all charming: an arched brick courtyard with a barbecue grill, a sun deck with outdoor whirlpool, and a large communal kitchen stocked with free coffee, juice, and ingredients for guests to make their own waffles, panini, or other snacks. The bright, luxurious rooms have distinct personalities, but all have big flat-screen TVs, fireplaces, and hardwood floors; note that two of them share a bathroom. For a historic boutique hotel in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast, closer to the city's top attractions, consider the Talbott Hotel.
