The rooms
Each of the five grand suites tells an eccentric traveler story, layering antique furnishings with curated artwork and vintage collectibles.
The pool

The 15-meter heated outdoor pool stretches toward a glass garden folly, lined with sun loungers and cypress trees.
The spa
The wellness pavilion inside the garden folly holds private treatment rooms, a traditional hammam, and a sauna.
The gym
An exercise bike sits inside a glazed garden pavilion, with open doors facing out toward the pool.

The Orangery
Crystal chandeliers hang above long wooden tables in this glass-enclosed pavilion, where breakfast looks out over the garden.
