The Hotel
Escape from your daily routine, in this peaceful setting with your favourite book or a glass of wine beside the sounds of the soothing sea.
The hotel is situated in Agia Pelagia one of the leading coastal villages. The rooms of the hotel are located across two wings, α [alpha] and π [pi]. Both wings offer spacious rooms with an abundance of natural light flowing throughout them along with modern comforts.
In the summer of 2016 the α [alpha] wing was launched, giving the opportunity for more guests to experience the hotel. It was constructed with a sustainable approach, and provides guests with the option of 13 additional comfortable and elegant rooms. The π [pi] wing has kept its unique traditional spirit.
The hotel now has a blend of traditional and modern architecture, featuring neutral earthy tones and materials inspired by nature.

About Us
The hotel is family owned and has been managed by Theodoros and Eleni and their three children.
In 1993 Theodoros returned from Australia to Kythera to finish the family’s holiday home. However, plans changed and the summer home became a small hotel and also the excuse for the family to move back to Kythera and run the hotel on the beautiful island.
The Hotel was one of the first of its kind in Agia Pelagia, which at the time and still today is sheltered and untouched by mass tourism which makes it a place where you can experience and appreciate a pure lifestyle.
Eleni returned to Kythera from Australia in 1994 with their three children. Together they finished the hotel and were open for business in the summer of 1995.
Today Theodoros and Eleni’s two daughters, Tanya and Theohari have continued to manage the business. Yianni the son has started his own family and works on the island; however, the three siblings help and depend on each another.
The family is delighted to share its profound knowledge of the island to ensure that its guests have a memorable and enjoyable experience at the Hotel and the island.
The Farm
The Family farm consists of olive groves and a variety of organic fruit.
Everything is organically produced, including the Family’s very own olive oil, honey, wine and tsipouro.
Be sure to indulge in a tasting during your stay.
