9 Academy
9 Academy
In idyllic Salisbury, CT, two-and-a-half hours north of NYC sits 9 Academy, a luxurious new property featuring three modern and elegant suites. Done up in a serene style of raw oak wood floors, earthy linens, and tactile plaster finishes, each suite occupies a full floor of the house so peace and privacy come naturally here. Inside, the experience is equal parts posh hotel (Le Labo bath products, Brooklinen sheets, and Nespresso coffee) and home comforts (full kitchens, washer/dryers, and zippy-fast WiFi), and each space has its own charms and personality. Go for the Garden Suite for a private entrance and easy-access outdoor space; the second-floor Parlor Suite is made for slow mornings, with a cozy reading nook and stairs down to a quiet yard; while the third-floor Loft Suite is a light-flooded enclave with French doors onto a private terrace. Common throughout is a flexible layout for four (including children aged eight and up) with a King bed and sleeper sofa. The spa-like bathrooms have huge tubs and heated floors—perfect for a New England winter retreat. Whatever the season, don’t miss a wander into town for morning pastries at Sweet William, a yoga class at Riga, and dinner with the locals at the White Hart Inn. The plum location both in the heart of Salisbury and in the wider CT-NY-MA triangle puts all the regional highlights within drive distance. Plan to eat, antique, hike, ski and swim your way through all three states knowing your cozy, and supremely stylish, home-away-from-home is waiting at 9 Academy.

The Villa at Saugerties is an exquisite Mediterranean-style Bed & Breakfast and luxury escape situated on 3.6 pastoral acres just outside the historic town of Saugerties, NY. Created with love by owners Amanda and Joe (an idea born on their honeymoon in the Spanish countryside), The Villa’s romance lies in its sun-drenched gardens, seasonal dining indoors and out, lush private patios, spectacular living room with a wood-burning fireplace and game table, forty-foot heated swimming pool, and meticulous design. Each of the four guest rooms is an ideal place to relax and feel transported, with a King or Queen beds dressed in soft Matteo organic cotton linens, bedside fireplaces with plush lounge chairs, hand laid Moroccan tiled bathrooms with marble sinks, radiant heated floors, deep soaking tubs, walk-in-showers, and upscale amenities. Relish in curated design details like Spanish and Italian antiques mixed with modern custom furniture and objects from Morocco, Mexico, and the Hudson Valley. Architectural elements including vaulted ceilings with reclaimed barn beams, French oak floors, and subtle Venetian plastered walls are just a handful of the considered details throughout every space. Wake up to the smells of a sumptuous and healthy full breakfast, prepared with local, seasonal ingredients. If you’re lucky enough to be visiting on a Saturday, don’t miss the prix fixe dinner – a feast of beautifully prepared rustic dishes.
