The thirty rooms step down a peaceful cliffside, built for slow days looking out across Kalo Livadi Bay.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Pietra e Mare enjoys full and uncrowded access to Aegean waters so dappled with blues that only the all-encompassing ‘cerulean’ applies.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Kalo Livadi's quiet beach sits just downhill, and the village of Ano Mera is a short drive inland.
The rooms
White-on-white rooms open onto private sea-facing balconies, and select suites add heated jetted tubs on their terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Curtained daybeds and sun loungers line the freshwater infinity pool, looking straight out toward the Aegean horizon.
Pietra e Mare Restaurant
Tables sit under a bamboo pergola overlooking the water, serving morning buffets and à la carte Mediterranean dishes.
At the table
Wooden stools line a concrete counter at the poolside bar, tucked beside a stone wall draped in bougainvillea.
