Khartoum-free beds

SANDS POINT, N.Y. — Our accommodations in Nassau County were at the Village Club of Sands Point, which was once the estate of Isaac Guggenheim and Solomon Guggenheim.

On our last visit, there was a rumor that the mansion on this estate was the location for the famous "horse head in the bed" scene in the Godfather (which took place in California in the film). But Internet searches appear to confirm that it was filmed at Falaise Mansion, which is another of the Guggenheim properties in Sands Point.

Anyway, we had a wonderful stay in Sands Point in a room overlooking Long Island Sound.
