What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its 40 rooms and suites are decorated in a warm and organic modern style, their visual simplicity made richer by textures in wood and stone.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Ampelas village and its sandy beach are an easy walk away. Naoussa harbour sits a five-minute drive west.
The rooms
Travertine and walnut finish the airy interiors. Most suites open onto stone terraces with their own private plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 400-square-meter butterfly-shaped pool curves along the main terrace, lined with parasols and serviced by the pool bar.
The spa and gym
The 800-square-meter spa includes a slatted timber sauna and Turkish hammam. A double-height studio houses Technogym equipment.
Restaurant
Pino by Luca Piscazzi
Chef Luca Piscazzi shapes the menu of handmade pastas and Aegean seafood, served under a poolside timber pergola.
