Centrally located in Austin’s picturesque historic neighborhood of Clarksville, the Brava House Boutique Bed & Breakfast puts guests within reach of everything Austin has to offer. It provides a unique experience for guests that is far different from the usual downtown hotel. It is the only bed & breakfast in the downtown area, offering one-of-a-kind lodging with the perfect amount of history. The residence that the Brava House calls home is a spectacular 1880’s Victorian home that is a shining example of the detail that was put into the architecture of the time. Formerly known as the Southard House, it is one of the first homes of its kind to be built in Austin.
Today the Brava House is owned and hosted by Nick, who provides a level of hospitality that perfectly matches the era in which the house was built. He prepares a hearty breakfast each morning and serves it with a smile. His attention to every little detail not only makes for a relaxing stay, but is just as reminiscent of the Victorian period as the home itself. A stay at Brava House will afford guests the peace, quiet and relaxation of days long gone, while being right within reach of some of Austin’s finest and most sought-out attractions and everything else that the city has to offer.
