You’d be forgiven for mistaking this timelessly elegant Byron hinterland estate for a Tuscan villa or a chateau in Provence. Outside, pebbled pathways weave through ivy-covered ochre archways and around manicured lawns and lavender-scented gardens. Details within the two guesthouses — think timber beams, frescoed walls and hand-stitched linens — exude an antique luxury that fits the adults-only brief. Additional touches, like a mosaic-lined plunge pool, wood-fired pizza oven and cherub water fountains fill the olde-worlde frame of mind, whereas Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers and a DVD library provide contemporary comforts.
