The Observatory Villa
Space to breathe, views to settle into.
A spacious villa with soaking bathtub, shared living room, kitchen access, and views across the botanical grove. More room, more light, more quiet.
Take both units, and gather upstairs
The Observatory Villa is two units with a shared floor between them. Book both and the upper level is yours alone: a sitting area with a television, a large dining table for long dinners, and your own pantry. A family or two couples get a bedroom each to retreat to, and one bright room to come together.

Honest materials, quiet comfort.
Nothing here is added that does not need to be. Each surface is chosen for how it feels, ages and cools: stone floors, lime-washed walls, linen textiles, handcrafted details.
Why stay in the Observatory
For those who want space above all, to spread out, slow down, and let a stay feel less like a room and more like a small house in the trees.
Couples and slow travellers who value space, light and a long, unhurried morning.
The bath with a view
A stone soaking tub set to the grove, the reason most guests book, and the ritual they remember.
Light and height
Raised above the canopy, it catches the first light and the longest afternoons.
Room to gather
A shared living room and kitchen mean you never feel confined to a single space.
What's always included.
Looked after, never managed.
Warm, intuitive service, present when you need it, invisible when you don't.
