Lemon + Sage Cottage is part of Sankofa Villa, whose name comes from the Akan people of Ghana and means “go back and get it”, a reminder to draw wisdom from the past. True to its name, the cottage embodies balance: Lemon for freshness and clarity, Sage for calm and grounding. The property itself echoes this spirit, with a flourishing lemon tree and sage bushes just outside your door.
