History

The home was built as the main house to an indigo plantation just prior to the turn of the 19th century. The lush surroundings are a distraction from city life. This restful inn is just a few blocks from the French Quarter. The guest quarters are appointed with fine linens and elegant furnishings.

The main house of this historic site was built in 1798 by a physician/diplomat Domingo Fleitas. Coming originally from Tenerife in the Canary Island, Sr. Fleitas had his Indigo plantation's 'maison principal' built in the West Indies Creole style with wide galleries and many French doors opening onto flowering patios.
