Bohemian courtyard guesthouse
Two slender buildings center around a stone fountain courtyard, keeping the easy rhythm of a friend's townhouse.
“Decorated with retro furnishings in a 1970's palette of punchy colors, the lobby feels more like your distant relative's living room than a hotel.”

The rooms
Sunlight fills the compact bedrooms, where smooth concrete floors meet bright textiles.

A stone waterfall feeds the courtyard plunge pool, set among bamboo and sun loungers in the rear garden.

Bistró
Breakfast buffets of artisan pastries and eggs cooked to order sit beside large windows looking onto courtyard bamboo.

How it began
Marcelo Kohen built the property in his childhood neighborhood, choosing the English possessive so guests consider the place their own.
