ArchitectureThe houses are built of limestone, with wooden stairs, floors and ceilings made from local cypress. Almost everything was handmade by the family and especially by Andreas. All fern furniture is made in a nearby village in the old Cretan style (sofas, chairs, tables). The outdoor kitchen, gardens and pool area are built of stone. All materials used to build the houses are locally produced.

FoodThe hosts strive to preserve traditional and regional cuisine using locally sourced organic products, focusing on the quality of food, not quantity. Sustainability, seasonal fruit and fresh vegetables are the most important thing for them, and they also offer that to their guests. Almost 80 percent of the products are therefore organic. There is a small vegetable garden and almost everything guests try is home-grown. In the adjacent traditional shop, filled with local products, guests can enjoy authentic Greek delicacies. These include carob, our own organic olive oil, homemade syrups, traditional sweets, handmade cheese, aromatic honey, fragrant herbs and much more.

EnvironmentThere are solar panels that produce the hot water and some of the central heating for the houses. In addition, a sophisticated recycling and waste separation system is consistently implemented, as is the environmentally friendly disposal of food waste. In houses, economical lighting ensures that energy is used consciously. The hosts participate in several conservation projects in the region and specifically in their village (cleaning and free access to the area's water sources, protection of old and historic hiking trails, forest protection). They also always encourage guests to buy from local producers in the region and introduce them to seasonal fruit and vegetables. There are also recommendations for the responsible use of energy in all forms (sensible use of air conditioning, water, food waste, wood for the fireplace).

Well-BeingPrivate massages can be organized in the houses upon request.
