Young is the night



The room's history itself is fascinating enough. The room was the private chapel of the house and includes marine graffiti possibly dating back to the 16th century.

The bed frame with its sensuous curves in a walnut finish, I am told is Art Deco. The Moroccan silk and the colourful linen set the scene but there's still a lot to come. A large antique tapestry featuring men riding horses will eventually take pride of place on the wall to the side of the bed while the appropriate bedside tables have not as yet been sourced.

Just yesterday I ordered the wall light which I shall have to carry with me on the plane, weight restrictions permitting.

A coloured glass door takes you to the bathroom whilst a low heavy door with a key-hole shaped window leads to an exquisite old stone spiral staircase. What lies beyond is for our guests to discover.
