Loving my town that celebrates for so many reasons, and in so many ways, I’m thrilled about a timely hospitality concept that has just opened in Newport, The Royce. Unlike traditional hotels, full-property bookings are prioritized within the two restored historic houses, where families and friends can come together for a long-weekend escape, an intimate wedding party, an international sailing regatta, a golden anniversary. To ensure that every stay is private, unhurried, and infused with comfort, The Royce offers a suite of elevated services, with staff, that can be arranged upon request, each tailored to the guests’ needs (to include private chefs, housekeeping, spa treatments, and concierge-style assistance). While The Royce’s spaces blend Newport’s rich heritage with contemporary luxury, its unmatched downtown location allows guests a short walk to the center of life in Newport –and yet you can return home in minutes to complete peace and privacy. This new jewel on the Newport hospitality scene will not be a well-kept secret for long so scoot over to the blog for booking details (link in bio).

Early morning in the green and white garden as spring awakens… and our NEW Great Horned owlets found down the path amongst the tall lindens in the Woodland Garden

Before and After... 4 matched ‘Hally Jolivette’ cherries are the first sign of spring at Parterre; three months later they are dressed up for summer entertaining.

The first trees on our property to leaf out or bloom, this variety, Cherry ‘Hally Jolivette,’ produces the most exquisite small, single blossoms in a soft shell pink, clustered together so they give a bountiful appearance to the pruned shape of a fully opened parasol. Of course, this all happens before any leaves appear on the tree, lending an air of elegance to the display. While no mother likes to “play favorites,” I do have to confess that these four trees, and their position fronting the Orangerie, truly makes them the horticultural centerpiece of our three acres

Through the garden gate…the soft golden light of spring with all its promise…silhouetting the stone frogs atop the limestone pillars.

When there’s a garden that lingers in your mind, year after many years...the stunning juxtaposition of 2 different knot designs, intersected with a bountiful row of roses under a partial pergola. Hidden away, right here in Newport, overlooking the water.
