Kipi Suites
Epirus, Greece
A traditionally restored stone house perched on the forested hillsides of ancient Kipi village
Smack dab in the middle of a charming labyrinth of cobbled gray streets overlooking verdant valleys and distant mountain peaks, Kipi Suites exudes charm and authenticity from its subdued country-chic décor to its warm hospitality. Meticulously restored using traditional methods and materials, spaces feature vaulted beam ceilings, polished concrete floors, and exposed stone walls.
Each self-contained suite feels like a throwback to simpler mountain village life without compromising the creature comforts of modern life (think whirlpools and cozy fireplaces).
“All materials used for the construction, renovation, and maintenance of the Kipi Suites are environmentally friendly and special care has been given to energy and water conservation throughout the hotel.”

the look.
Respecting the village’s traditional character, interiors are full-on rustic with minimal fuss, decked out in muted earth tones, handcrafted furniture, and naturally woven textures. Bedrooms are a soothing palette of pebble grays and creamy whites with a splash of amber throughout. Soft duvet-cocooned beds sit on polished tile floors topped with hand-woven rugs, platform sofas, and solid wood furniture. Suites open onto flagstone verandahs with comfy seating areas overlooking the mountain village beyond.
