An eighteen-room house

A house
bythesea.

Eighteen rooms. One shoreline. A slow stay. Built into a slow cliff, half an hour from anywhere worth going to.

The coast that doesn't ask anything of you.

Eighteen rooms set into a slow cliff, half an hour from anywhere worth going to. The drive in is a single road through pine and salt and pale-yellow grass; the last kilometre is gravel. There is no concierge in a suit. There is a small table by the door with a bowl of figs, a glass of cold water, and someone who will know your name by morning.

Faro is built into the rock and the weather. Lime-washed walls. Linen sheets. A bath house heated by wood. A kitchen that opens onto the sea. Nothing has been added that the house did not already ask for.

A long dining table by the sea

The long table, set for lunch.

The Kitchen · 04

Lunch is a long affair.

[The kitchen sits at the centre of the house, open to the dining room and the sea beyond. A single long table seats sixteen. The menu changes weekly with what the boats bring in and what the garden has decided to give up that morning.]

[Breakfast is a quiet affair on the terrace. Lunch is the house's heart. Dinner, four nights a week, is a small set menu the chef writes by hand each morning.]

The Bath House · 05

Hot water, cold water,
in that order.

[A wood-fired sauna and a cold plunge built into the cliff, open from late afternoon. A short list of treatments offered by standing reservation: oil massage, salt scrub, the kind of long quiet hour the rest of the day does not allow.]

[The bath house is for house guests only and is best taken between five and seven, when the light is long and the sea is quiet.]
