A Taste of Europe in Ontario: Local Pastries, Global Vibes
At Villa Idalia, we believe luxury is in the little details—like starting your day with a freshly baked pastry that transports you straight to a Parisian café or Ukrainian kitchen. That’s why we proudly partner with local businesses like Café Lviv and Moko Bakery, both known for their delicious, authentic European-style baking.
Guests staying with us can choose from sweet or savoury pastries, baked to order and served warm, fresh, and bursting with flavour. Whether it’s a buttery croissant, traditional pierogi, or a rich babka, our curated breakfast experience is designed to give you that “I’m-away-in-Europe” feeling right here in Port Hope.
This partnership allows us to support local talent while offering our guests a luxury bed and breakfast experience near Toronto that’s both sophisticated and heartwarming. Because at Villa Idalia, we don’t just offer a place to stay—we offer a story, a memory, and a taste of something truly special.
