Accommodation:
A testament to period grandeur and contemporary luxury. Beautifully appointed accommodation comprising four rooms, a deluxe suite, conservatory, lounge, swimming and spa pool area.
Blanketed in a palette of ‘charcoal grey’ and ‘white linen’, the rooms beckon an indulgent experience.
The New Zealand based interior designer, Virginia Fisher states: “Even though the rooms are homely, they also house discreet technology. Lush lawns edged with dark green hedges contrast with creamy travertine tiles and inset pebbles, while white walls delineate the deck chairs and lounging areas. The spa pool punctuates the landscape with a stunning, elevated view of the surrounds. Harmony permeates every angle.”
