- Nestled into the wooded slopes of Kalavrita, this small collection of guest cottages reinterprets the mountain vernacular for contemporary stays. Stone retaining walls and dry-stone bases ground each timber-clad volume into the hillside, while steep gabled roofs and wood-burning chimneys respond to the region’s alpine winters.
- Mature olive and pine trees are preserved throughout the site, framing private terraces and pergola-covered courtyards that blur the line between interior and landscape. Below ground, a wellness wing with an indoor pool, sauna, and water feature offers year-round retreat. The result is an intimate hospitality experience built from local materials and a quiet respect for the site it inhabits.
