    Newly renovated, well appointed, and a very kind host. The modern European vibe is atypical of Maine B&Bs, and was a welcomed change from the norm.

    We've stayed at Casa Alchimia before, but this was the first time we brought our kids (15 and 13). They loved it just as much as we do, and said the breakfast was the best they've ever had!

Casa Alchimia is an historic house (1789) in the heart of Freeport Maine. The Italian owners during the restructuring, completed in the summer 2019, have preserved the historical structure. A major transformation was made inside, focusing on a contemporary design style, with great attention to the use of natural materials. All the floors are in oak, worked in a traditional way and treated with water-based paints and ecological glues, to live in a healthy home. Italian owners wanted to keep the Italian design style.
