What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Nōstos embodies the quiet magic of Serifos, an island of wind-swept landscapes, hidden beaches, and whitewashed villages untouched by time.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The property sits a four-minute stroll from tamarisk-shaded Livadakia Beach, with the seafood tavernas of Livadi port ten minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Sunlit spaces pair white plaster with pale wood, while Maxi Suites feature private sea-view balconies equipped with heated outdoor whirlpool tubs.
The gym
Timber-slatted walls line the fitness room, which is fitted with a water rower, treadmill, and dedicated showers.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Mornings start with fresh pastries, juice, and local Cycladic dishes served across the sunlit patio and communal counter.
How it began
Owners Harry and Bianca modernized the retreat, reinventing the original hotel first built on the island by Harry's grandfather Giorgos.
