Character and identity
A 19-room 1800s shingled inn on East Hampton's Main Street, reopened in 2024 after LDV Hospitality (the Scarpetta team) took over and gave it a Mediterranean-meets-coastal-cottage refresh. Whitewashed exteriors and green trim give it Hamptons bones; inside, the common rooms read as Italian villa crossed with seaside grandma, with a lingering lobby bar and a garden restaurant that hums on summer weekends. Rooms layer linen curtains, rattan, neutral palettes and Santa Maria Novella amenities. Service is light-touch rather than full concierge, and there's no pool. Main Beach is a short bike ride away, with passes and chairs included.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples slipping out of Manhattan, small groups looking for a calmer alternative to Montauk, and design-minded travellers who want serious Italian cooking attached to their bed. The intimate scale, complimentary beach passes and bike fleet, and buzzy-but-civilised garden restaurant suit anyone who prizes atmosphere over resort scale.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting a pool, full-service concierge, spa, or kids' club should book elsewhere. The 19-room footprint and minimal staffing mean you're largely on your own, and the across-the-street cemetery may give some pause. Families needing constant programming will find it thin.
Bottom line
The cooking is the headline here: the LDV-run garden restaurant is genuinely one of the better Italian tables on the East End, and it elevates the whole stay. Book a Premier King if you want the freestanding tub and top-floor space, lock in a dinner reservation before you arrive, and target shoulder-season weekends when Main Street quiets but the kitchen is still firing.
