As Classy As The Palace We Stayed At In Italy
—by Brittany
We married at The Beall last year in March. It was fabulous. I'm not kidding when I say Jim & Sandy are the BEST hosts I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The Beall is truly as classy as palaces we stayed at in Italy. The attention to detail is perfect. They were so very accommodating - making sure every detail of our stay was perfect.
