Garden Cottages
These four beautiful thatched cottages are situated around our duck pond, right in the heart of the Temenos gardens. They are the perfect, peaceful hideaway for nature lovers.
Assisi
It was our very first cottage at Temenos! It features a shower and a private garden patio. Buried in its foundations is a rock from Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis—so it’s little wonder the birds love hanging around this one.
CARMEL
Nestled in a grove of trees, this cottage is especially popular during the hot summer months. It features a shower, a lovely fireplace, and a very private back veranda to enjoy the shade.
