Design:
Because of their proximity to the garden, these rooms reflect a natural organic theme. The original limestone floors have been polished by 300 years of use and are covered with kelims and natural coir rugs. The doors are solid unfinished oak and the furniture is a mixture of antique and contemporary oak, ash and rattan. There are also exquisite botanical prints hanging on the walls.
