Earthen hillside auberge
The property runs like a quiet hamlet terraced into the scrubland, clustered around a central courtyard above the sea.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Designed by Orma Architettura and Dorothée Meilichzon, the hotel uses local materials: earth-formed concrete, natural wood, and textured fabrics, to create bright, comfortable spaces.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Car-free lanes wind through the village below, where twin Greek and Latin churches face each other above the sea.
The rooms
Bedrooms reveal patches of raw bedrock alongside uneven plaster, and windows open toward the village or the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Saffron daybeds and white parasols line the heated infinity pool, set on the upper deck above the Mediterranean.
Restaurant
Teos
Pergola-shaded tables look out across village rooftops to the sea. The kitchen serves regional catches and Pierre Geronimi's savory ice creams.
How it began
The name means mill in Greek, borrowed from the ruined stone windmill that stands on the hilltop above.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
