Charlottesville’s rustic charm and imperial grandeur have fascinated tourists and residents for decades. The city gets its name from British Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg- Strelitz and is the hometown of President James Madison. This city that has been at the epicenter of the ebb and flow of American history including the Civil War and school integration is currently an excellent host for world class pool communities. You have the opportunity to live at the confluence of history, culture and cuisine while swimming in the shimmering waters of your community swimming pool.
Charlottesville, for many residents means oysters and the Public Fish and Oyster restaurant offers a stunning variety. Imagine your server patiently explaining the type of oyster you’re having, its peculiarities and the way in which that particular recipe came about. Patrons love this historical tour of their cuisine. You can also savor some delicious scallops. The Fleurie Restaurant serves French cuisine and you will be blown away by its expert meal-wine pairings. The Lobster Bisque and the Skate make for an excellent dinner.
Charlottesville’s star attraction is the Monticello, a grand estate with a mansion and slave plantation completed in 1769 and inhabited by President Thomas Jefferson. There are three different tours to choose from and each lasts 45 minutes. The house tour provides visitors a window into Jefferson’s life while the garden tour provides a somber glimpse of the lives of slaves. The Mulberry Road tour will take you close to Jefferson’s grave.
The Downtown Mall is a virtual city within a city with antique stores and niche restaurants. Visitors vouch by the liveliness of its Chalk-Fest.
