The pool was inspired by the work of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the Dutch-born painter renowned for his luminous depictions of Roman luxury. His scenes of marble, water, and sun-drenched leisure helped shape Chef Patrick’s vision for a retreat devoted to elegance, pleasure, and tranquility. The graceful oval pool is encircled by marble tile and animated by four classical urn fountains that send delicate arcs of water onto the shimmering surface below.
Four lavish cabanas invite guests to surrender the afternoon entirely — to read, nap, dream, or simply drift in the quiet pleasure of the moment. Poolside service completes the experience, with a menu of refined snacks, lunch, desserts, and beverages served throughout the day. We invite you to experience this intimate new retreat, created for quiet indulgence, unhurried afternoons, and the rare pleasure of doing very little at all.
