“Driving there by accident might be the luckiest wrong turn you could make, and I say that having explored many high-end destinations; the grounds themselves are worth lingering over, from the petanque lawn to the discreet dog accommodations. With Michelin-starred dining and exceedingly friendly staff, a stay here feels less like a hotel visit and more like being welcomed into a particularly well-appointed country home.”
