Carmel Villa guests say that the Victorian Main House is the prettiest house in Calvinia and is known as "Calvinia's Monument of Love"! Carmel Villa was built in 1904 - Come visit us and read the beautiful love story of how this historic house was built by a young man for his beautiful bride to be. Most of the original wood, brookie lace and stained glass still in tact.
