Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

The rooms
Each of the three villas features floor-to-ceiling glass, custom Jag kitchens, deep soaking tubs, and private landscaped courtyards.

Cooking classes explore Asian and world recipes, then gather around the communal table for dinner and local wines.
How it began
Claire Fuller founded the property as a boutique cooking school in 2008 before expanding with three purpose-built architectural villas.
