All the buildings at the Ecolodge are constructed entirely of local natural stone and blend almost seamlessly into the terraced landscape of Tinos. Built by local stonemasons, the houses adhere to the island's traditional building methods without sacrificing modern comforts. This philosophy extends to the interiors as well: much of the furniture is crafted from recycled materials – robust, durable, and deliberately simple. From the planning stage onward, the entire infrastructure was designed with water and energy efficiency in mind. The orientation of the houses, the size and placement of the windows, and the design of the terraces all follow a solar, passive design that optimizes natural ventilation, light, and heat. All the stone comes directly from the island, and all other materials were sourced regionally.

Part of the garden supplies not only the guests of the ecolodge but also two local restaurants with fresh vegetables. Everything grown is organically cultivated on the property – in rhythm with the seasons and without chemical additives. The cycle is completed right on site: all organic waste is composted or used as feed for the chickens. Numerous lettuces and leafy greens, artichokes, capers, and olives thrive in the beds, as well as classics like tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers. In addition, there are fresh onions, chives, microgreens, and edible flowers, which demonstrate not only their flavor but also their visual appeal, showcasing just how vibrant and diverse sustainable agriculture can be.

Most people who work at the Ecolodge come from the island of Tinos: the stonemasons, the gardener, the cook, as well as the plumber and electrician. From planning and construction to ongoing operations, the hosts consciously rely on local knowledge, traditional craftsmanship, and short supply chains. This keeps the added value within the region and maintains a strong connection to the island. Furthermore, they are members of the cultural and environmental initiative Ambassada Tinos, through which they are jointly committed to preserving the landscape, architectural heritage, and the island's natural and cultural heritage. On the running business there are also volunteers from all over the world and employees that live on Tinos.

The entire operation runs entirely on solar energy and is off-grid. Rainwater is collected and stored in large cisterns with a total capacity of 180 m³ to irrigate the gardens. Greywater from the houses is naturally purified via a planted reed bed filter system, collected in tanks, and then also used to irrigate trees and vegetable plots. Waste is carefully separated, organic waste is composted, and glass, paper, cardboard, and plastic are recycled separately. Furthermore, the ecolodge is a partner in two European research projects – Horizon 2020 HYDROUSA and SURENEXUS – which focus on water management in arid regions and sustainable WEFE nexus solutions. This expertise is not left to chance: guests receive an introductory session at the beginning of their stay, during which the ecological systems, projects, and sustainable solutions on-site are explained and demonstrated.

Yoga and massages can be arranged and performed on the yoga deck or on the private terrace of the houses. The island also offers numerous activities: hiking on Tinos' traditional stone paths, swimming in crystal-clear waters, surfing in Kolibithra Bay when wind conditions are right, or joining in traditional dance festivals during the summer. Art enthusiasts can participate in sculpture and ceramics classes, as Tinos is known for its long tradition of marble craftsmanship and its renowned art school.
