What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its terraced construction maximizes guests’ exposure to the views, both of the Ionian sea … and of Mount Ainos.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Trapezaki Beach is a ten-minute walk downhill, while the slopes of Mount Ainos rise directly inland.
The rooms
Polished wood interiors open onto private terraces with plunge pools and views over the forest canopy or sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Parasols and dark cushioned loungers border the long freshwater pool, where still water mirrors the hillside slopes.
The spa
Treatment rooms host massages and facials, and the spa suite adds an illuminated hot tub and indoor plunge bath.
At the table
The restaurant serves pan-Mediterranean dishes on a timber-canopied terrace looking out toward the mountains.
