Cycladic hillside village
Winding alleys and stone staircases connect the whitewashed buildings, running like a quiet island settlement above the bay.
What it’s good at
Notable
Whitewashed sugarcube buildings open onto stone terraces finished in sisal, reeds, and wood.
Listed
A glass-encased yoga shala and sea-facing fitness pavilion look directly toward Delos.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel’s design mimics the look and feel of a Greek village, with winding staircases and cool, shadowy pathways leading through the hillside property.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Agios Stefanos beach sits a short walk downhill, and the narrow lanes of Chora are a five-minute drive south.
The rooms
Smooth concrete platforms support the beds, and each room opens onto a private terrace framed by local stone.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
Shaded daybeds sit partially submerged in the freshwater pool. Cardio machines in the gym look straight out over the bay.
Pool Bar
Barstools line the stone counter beside tall cacti. Bartenders mix cocktails and bring Greek small plates to poolside daybeds.
At the table
Tables at Reeza sit under timber pergolas above the pool. The open-air terrace serves modern Cycladic dinners and local wines.
How it began
Designer Eleftherios Ambatzis spent three years restructuring the original 2000 property into a unified hillside settlement.
