Andiamo Lodge in Mentone is a haven of creativity curated by photographer and entrepreneur Colleen Duffy. Colleen and her husband Steve, a restaurateur, opened Andiamo Lodge as a place for creative experiences. We asked Colleen to share some of her favorite holiday entertaining tips through words and images.
"I absolutely love the holidays, though I've never been one for the traditional red and green. I'm drawn to the softer tones found in nature - warm neutrals, layers of texture, and a touch of the unexpected. Bringing the outside in always feels right to me."
"The table is where magic happens. It's where conversation sparks creativity and curiosity, where stories unfold, and connections deepen. Food is the great equalizer, bringing together people from all walks of life in the most human way."
"At the lodge, and in our own home, we love to elevate the familiar, adding unexpected touches that make each meal feel special."
"Every detail at Andiamo Lodge is considered with care, from textures and colors to curated experiences. My favorite mantra is that guests arrive as strangers and leave as friends."
