Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on the cliffs of Spartia beneath Mount Ainos, a winding footpath descends to an uncrowded pebble cove with crystal-clear water.
The rooms
Terracotta-roofed villas feature private saltwater pools or jacuzzis, sun terraces, micro-cement walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass looking toward the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 89-square-meter saltwater infinity pool sits cliffside, lined with daybeds and pergolas looking out across the Ionian Sea.
The spa and gym
An outdoor fitness deck overlooks the sea, and treatment rooms offer botanical therapies with heated volcanic stones.
Olais Restaurant
Open-air tables sit beneath timber pergolas, serving Kefalonian dishes and local Robola wine pairings.
How it began
Kefalonian owner Spyros Korsianos and interior architect Maike Gruna conceived twelve secluded villas enveloped by thousands of native Mediterranean plants.
