At the foot of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Boar’s Head Resort unfolds across a wooded estate outside Charlottesville, centred on a historic gristmill and low, traditionally styled buildings. Rooms and suites use warm timber, patterned textiles and a restrained country-house palette, with many looking towards gardens, lakes or the golf course. The estate includes the Birdwood golf course, a substantial sports club, racquet facilities, a spa and several pools, while the Mill Room remains its principal dining room. Stone bridges, mature trees and walking paths connect the resort’s different parts.
