A Working Farm at the Forefront of Ecotourism
The great design is matched only by the deeply held environmental philosophy and family traditions of this working farm. The attention to detail and the beautiful integration into nature makes this a special place to visit and learn from.
Situated in ancient olive groves and environmentally rich gardens, this property is a rare example of natural beauty, modern country elegance and agrarian life. With the goal of becoming completely environmentally self sufficient, these eco cottages are a triumph of design and sustainability and are at the forefront of the ecotourism movement.
Built in the traditional earthen Greek farmhouse style, there are five guest houses, each designed and inspired by a particular season or crop on the farm. Beautifully designed with the simplest of line and decor, each house is equipped with its own kitchen, private bath, and living area with fireplace for complete autonomy and simple luxury.
The main house includes a communal dining and living area and fireplace that is the heartbeat of the property for gatherings. You won't want to miss out on participating in the farming activities though, where you can learn to press your own olive oil and wines, feed the animals and pick your lunch from the organic gardens. At the forefront of homeodynamic and organic techniques as well as great environmental design, the cottages are a thrilling combination of the importance of our impact on nature and a great way to enjoy it.
The way of life here has existed for hundreds of years and this property provides the opportunity to experience a truly unique vacation while enjoying the rural agricultural lifestyle of southern Greece in comfort and simple luxury.
