Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to make your stay unforgettable. Picture yourself dining under the trees with a woodland feast prepared by MasterChef: The Professionals’ Chiara Tomasoni, indulging in an in-room massage from a therapist formerly of The Pig, taking a wild swim in the spring-fed pond, or joining a creative workshop with the talented Painted Palms.
