Omg !! Omg !! That yard !! A nature garden in your own backyard !!! The garden art !!! Just a big smile of fun !!! And the home itself !! Just wonderful I would put this yard garden and home in my all time top 5 !!! Thank you for sharing !!! So peaceful and gracious !!!
I just recently discovered "Quintessence" and I am hooked! It is so wonderful to see the love and care that go into homes/gardens such as this one. I appreciate you sharing these jewels with all of us. Thank you!
Welcome!!! Delighted to have you as a new Quintessence viewer (and hopefully subscriber)! Hope you enjoy tagging along with us to amazing homes around the world! 🙏🏻
Live it! I'm hooked...
I would love to spend an afternoon with this couple and relax in their space. I feel peaceful just watching this.
I'm not a particularly outdoorsy person but the garden that Juan and Urban have is out of this world: so peaceful and simple and beautiful and would be in all four season. I'd love to go through the many books in their home and select a few to read outdoors when I'm not simply enjoying the beauty all around. And if Urban wanted to fix a lunch for me, well, all the more to enjoy!
So glad you enjoyed! Juan's and Urban's country house is indeed a small slice of paradise!
I haven't seen this "At Home" Tour. Wow!!! what a really beautiful home and garden!! Oh, and that white pooch is a beauty!!!
Glad you found this visit! Juan's La Formentera is a bucolic paradise!
Absolutely gorgeous. What a lunch you were served! And those grounds, wow. The interior just sings the song of the owner's own utterly unique and highly committed character. Masculine, erudite, unconventional and hugely atmospheric. I can only imagine what the sitting lounge inside looks like at the time of day when you think of turning the inside lamps on. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing Mr Montoya's great taste with us all.
CiganyWeaver and her periwinklebluespacecaravan our pleasure and thank YOU for your thoughtful and erudite comment! Of course agree with your assessment of Juan’s talents and beautiful home!
Susanna, You truly need to extend your magnificent tours, all are so lovely!
I have found my spirit soul mates 😆😊❤ this is where I want to go on vacation. Forget the boutique hotels with their ultra clean lines and hospital corners! Give me books! Interesting finds! Art! Nature! Sculpture! Water!
And these gracious gentlemen who, along with you, shared it all with us.❤😊 Thank You.

I am so happy to read this! Susanna and I both adore Juan and Urban's wonderful home - it's a very special woodland oasis!
Quintessence 😊❤
That would be the best Airbnb ever, lol!
Don’t forget the food! Made with fresh herbs too...
Great comment, I concur!
I don’t know which is lovelier, the home or the grounds. Just spectacular.
Deette Kearns Adore both as well!
the people as well.
Juan and Urban's home is so special - so warm and elegant and you can see personal touches all around. The outside is wonderful, too. Love this one!
So glad you loved as much as we did!!
Montoya is a Colombian born, interior designer. As a successful and well known in the World, He have published several books that are really good !!! This program was filming near to new York, in his Fomentera country house. I am a big fan !!! Thanks Susana for the video
All correct! And thank you so glad you enjoyed - Juan is so talented!
He is so much fun!
I thought the F1 Racing Driver when I first saw the title.
Entire video was bliss. Montoya is a natural landscape architect. A beautiful day, a beautiful home, and beautiful food!
Yes he is and thank you!! So glad you enjoyed!
What a glorious masterpiece --- brings tears to the eyes!
Such a peaceful place, garden is very nice, luxurious ... The owner seem very warm and welcoming people. As always, such a wonderful moment with Suzanne and her guest. Many thanks for sharing with us, it is so appreciated.
Susanna has the unique gift and ability to seem at ease and as if she's known all her hosts and hostesses for years. Seems easy but I don't think everybody could do her "job."
Totally agree - lucky to have her as my video partner!
I agree. ... but wouldn't a 90 day probationary period be wonderful?
Beautiful setting so creative with the rock sculpture and the simplicity.
Glad you like it!
What a great space... everywhere, something catches the eye. Love all of the display of books. Books and plants are always ideal!
Snowy day in the Midwest and watching Quintessence, what a great morning.
Delighted to hear it - thank you!!
My favorite home by far. Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I could be guilty of watching several times.
So glad you enjoyed - it is indeed breathtaking. Nothing to feel guilty about ;-)
What an idyllic existence. Love an herb garden
I remember Montoya from years of reading AD. He had a sense of eclecticism one did not see elsewhere; his work was always curious and engaging. Thanks for such a delectable snippet. Were I to come into money, this is the sort of estate I would have, set with magnificent grounds where I could wander around; the world would never see me again, lol. (And I love when the host/hostess (Laura Slatkin, Carolyn Roehm, Timothy Corrigan) offers you lunch, what a treat!) But Montoya needs an electric gate, lol!
We love Juan's work too and his grounds are so inspiring - in fact he published an entire book on La Formentera! And yes, lunch is always a treat!
Love you Susanna Salk and how you bring the very most organic of essence out of and from the creative designs of those amazing designers you profile to us the viewer! Keeps me dreaming and keeps me distracted from the chaos of our crazy world !
Susanna is a great host - glad you enjoyed! - Stacey (behind the camera)
Thank you so much for your lovely words
"That's like the best covering of electronics that I've ever seen" - best quote I've heard so far this year!!! (Sep 2020)
Love love love... the garden!
This might be my favorite of all the beautiful homes. So serene and peaceful.
David and Denise Mulkey Delighted to hear!! It is a very special place!
Would loved to have seen more of the house, but mostly I can't believe that no one posted a comment about that adorable doggie! I'll take the dog, ya'll can have the house and garden! Ha! So fluffy and darling!
This was real style all wrapped up in a cozy. Beautiful!
Thank you!!
Masterpiece! Luxury without obvious opulence and decadence.
Agreed - well put!
Fantastic video! Those gardens! That cocoon! Beautiful.and inspiring. Thanks, as always, for sharing! 💓💓💓
Our pleasure!! We loved sharing Juan's very special slice of paradise!
Love the entry to the yard and the coziness. There are too many unsafe looking stairs for me but this is still one of my favorites.
15 seconds into this video - LOVE their home, property and them.
These videos are my escape from this complicated world. Thank you so much.
So glad you feel that way ....
I can’t never get tired of watching this Chanel over and over 😃 Every time I watch each segment again I get inspired to make changes in my home THANK YOU 🙏🏼💕💓💕💓💕💓🇺🇸✨
So great...if I lived there, I would never leave❤️
I might not either!
I second the motion! Juan and Urban's place inside and out is so nice that I can imagine someone being there all the time year-round. We sometimes here about people who rarely if ever leave their home and this could be home to stay in not because of being a recluse but because it's so wonderful.
I've died and gone to hospitality heaven!!! Delightful design details.
that was just beautiful. It is really interesting to see how other people live, especially very wealthy people. But even if you are not wealthy you can create your own space. Just need some imagination.
I cast these shows in my tv and the experience is way better. You appreciate more the details. Suzanne is a great tv hostess
She is indeed and so glad you are enjoying on the big screen!
Very nice couple with a very nice home. Together, to die for!
I love and agree with his sentiments - We have fresh herbs for our lunch and thats luxury. I love that .... luxury indeed has nothing to do with materialistic nature of things but how you elevate your experiences of the most basic things.
Beautiful point!!
Such a lovely home! I love all the books, the interior design, the gardens, and Juan and Urban's graciousness.
Juan, Casa y jardines espectaculares...curiosamente me siento como si hubiera conocido el jardín. Estas fielmente retratado en el. Felicitaciones.
Outstanding place full of beauty!
Héctor Segovia It is indeed - glad you enjoyed!
That was quite an image of him In jodhpurs demonstrating the guillotine. Such a beautiful property and the interior is awesome!
JR Snyder Jr Juan is so talented - glad you enjoyed!
Sensacional. Siempre admiré el trabajo de Juan Montoya
We do too! Glad you enjoyed!
Ahh finally, restraint. Juan and Urban arent the least bit pretensious. So inspiring.
So true - they are a total delight!!
Totally agree!!
I just fell in love! This is gorgeous!
The outside is wonderful!
Amazing man with great eye and heart.💕💕💕
I continue to marvel at you two! You bring us all so much beauty and culture and fun! i just love how you package & present it. I'm so thankful and grateful ! xWM :)
And thank you Will!! We SO appreciate your enthusiasm and support!! xx S&S
Beautiful place !
Lol, at the tv comment she is so sweet & funny, Love her!!!
IT'S SO INTERESTING THAT IN BIG CITIES people use so many cars,the oxygen is so dirty,people have so quick rhythm and look as robot but when they are in nature with trees and flowers they get so happy and more kind!!!!it means that nature is our inner, we must respect it🎃🎃🎃
Elegant and grand! What wonderful bones!
"cocoon " , es la perfecta descripcion por este bello lugar .
Stunning!!!
I agree it is another innovative way to cover a tv the size of them today is a bit of a blight in the home.. but what a magnificent home he has
I agree, Fran. I've seen some televisions that are huge. No one needs a TV screen that could almost double for a dining room table!
Wow , works for me , His vision is outstanding , He is one of the new Masters ! You must go North to Canada to see David Easton new digs !
Yes, Juan's vision for his property was amazing. And I didn't realize David was in Canada! I thought he was out west!
Lovely herb garden.
Would have loved to see more of their home✨
fantastic place , now i can put pickles of books on my coffee table and not think it’s wrong , enjoyed very much.
Sounds great!
piles of books, not pickles😄
piles of books not pickles😝
He is sooo nice! Can I come for lunch? :)
This is a Beautiful home, not a museum look.
Agreed!
So beautiful🥰
Now this is what I call a home in the country, gracious hosts and a pool and then a yummy lunch, where do I sign up?...........🤗🇨🇦
Agreed - Juan is so talented and he and Urban are so welcoming and charming!
Love everything about this place and the too lads Irish Eileen xx
Juan and Urban's country retreat is a delight - as are they! Glad you enjoyed!
magical!....lets do lunch....
What a lovely couple would love to sit and chat with them!
So inviting and cozy
The grounds are spectacular!
Gracias por compartir
Wow, Wow, WOW!!!!
I just saw the listing. It's for sale. 110 acres, 5+ million.
Just fabulous!!
The guillotine TV 🤣🤣🤣👍👏👏👏👏
So clever right?!
I'm reminded of Morticia in "The Addams Family" on TV: she had a little guillotine for slicing carrots!
Beautiful home! Sorry to bother, but please know that Colombia is spelled with 2 letters o, it is never ever spelled with a u, that is incorrect in any language. I know, because is am Colombian. Thank you.
You are absolutely right - my typo and now fixed!
incredible! brilliant!
The grounds are huge and very beautiful! I wish Americans wouldn’t call their gardens their yards! It’s so disrespectful to call a garden such as this beauty, a yard!
Yes, it is a large property and so beautifully designed!
Wow!!
Spectacular!
Carmen Gomez It is indeed! Glad you enjoyed!
Now those men know how to live!
ADORO TUDO QUE A SUZANA MOSTRA SOU DO BRAZIL RIO DE JANEIRO
Thank you - so glad you enjoy!! - Stacey (behind the camera)

Donald Raife It is indeed! Thank you for stopping by!
Lovely home! Would you share where your hat is from.Thanks
Omg for every single. Scene
How do I become a millionaire so I can own a beautiful home. 💟
Beautiful garden ! it's always odd to hear Americans drop the H when they say Herb ,,, thank you for sharing
I love your home.
Janice Bowman Juan’s home and property are extraordinary!
Garden is beautiful, some interiors are confusing. I guess it's the decision-making of the resident. To each his own!
Very nice...
V. Awesome.
VERY NICE
