Premier Room with Pool View

The same 86 square metres as the garden-facing Premier, turned 90 degrees. In front of you is the main pool, which is not really a swimming pool: it is a channel of water 200 metres long with a colonnade down one side, built to be looked at from about where this room's window seat is.

The hour to be here is the one after sunset. The colonnade is lit, the whole length of the water holds the light, and you watch it from the terrace with the doors open. In daylight the garden rooms are arguably prettier; after 7 this one is not close.

No pool of your own — that starts a grade up, and the semi-private pools are shared between 4 rooms. Here you look at the water rather than step into it, from 30 square metres of walled terrace.
