Romantic, out-of-the-way country house hotel surrounded by lemon, olive, fig, and cypress trees
An intimate farm-chic boutique hotel tucked away in the orange and olive groves surrounding Nafplion. Constructed with rough-cut stone and wonky beamed ceilings, each of the four detached houses is one-of-a-kind, tastefully decorated with antique finds and modern classics.
Taking cues from traditional farmhouse aesthetics, bedrooms balance warm woods, exposed stone, and up-cycled furniture. A harmonious union of impeccable design, comfort, and tradition.
“Our olives, our orchard, the vegetable gardens, and the small chicken coop from local producers offer us their products daily, differently, depending on the seasons. We accompany them in a selection of the best raw materials, preferring fresh local, organic and seasonal products.”

the look.
Stone-built farm-style houses flaunting timber beam ceilings, polished concrete, creamy stone walls, and pistachio-painted shutters; Interiors are tranquil with minimal fuss, decked out in muted earthy hues, hand-carved wood furnishings, natural woven mats, a scattering of vintage suitcases, and farm-house décor. Crisp white linens, puffy duvets, and plump coco-mat bedding guarantee a perfect night’s sleep. Surrounded by olive and orange groves, shaded courtyards, and a pool, the farmhouse is all about slow living and Mediterranean chilling.
