Arcadian sanatorium hideaway
Perched among Mount Mainalo's ancient fir trees, quiet fire-lit lounges and stone terraces frame sweeping views across the Arcadian highlands.
What it’s good at

A 1929 neoclassical sanatorium built for tuberculosis patients, revived after eight decades of mountain abandonment.
Notable
A subterranean heated cave pool, hammam, timber gym, and an outdoor sauna set in the woods.

Also in Wallpaper*.
The old is cleverly connected to the new via a striking glass walkway, which allows sunlight to flood in and reflects the dense forest outside.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Trailheads for the Menalon Trail start directly outside, winding past mountain streams, stone villages, and dense fir woods.
The rooms
Terrazzo floors meet brushed chestnut millwork and wool throws, with expansive windows opening onto private forest-facing balconies.
The cave pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A subterranean heated stone pool sits beneath a central skylight, flanked by candlelit wall alcoves.
The saunas
A glazed timber sauna cabin sits among the fir trees, joined indoors by a steam room and stone hammam.
The gym
Custom wooden exercise machines face floor-to-ceiling forest views, and treatment rooms offer therapies developed with CODAGE Paris.
Dogs stay too.
MANNA Restaurant
Chef Athinagoras Kostakos crafts Peloponnesian dishes using regional cheeses, pasture-raised meats, and herbs foraged from the surrounding mountains.
At the table
The apothecary-style bar mixes drinks infused with mountain botanicals and local fir honey beside an open fireplace.
How it began
Founded in 1929 by Anna Mela as a tuberculosis sanatorium, the stone landmark lay abandoned for decades before its careful mountain revival.
