Accommodations
The seven, breezy guestrooms and suites resemble a country cottage, with floral patterns, a pastel color palette, and cream carpets, while candelabras and marble bathrooms with heated floors add a touch of opulence. Suites have their distinct sets of extras: the two-bedroom Family Suite has a game room with a Nintendo Wii; the Pool Suites have private gardens and pools; and the Elegant Suites feature an open-plan double shower adorned with mosaics.
Graze on snacks on your patio, sip your tea curled up on an overstuffed couch, and savor a glass of port before bedtime — a bed with 300-thread-count sheets awaits.
