Tranquil eco-friendly retreat in Halkidiki Nestled among secluded gardens dotted with olive and fruit trees, and constructed exclusively with stone and wood from the local area, this peaceful, eco-friendly hideaway on the Kassandra peninsula blends seamlessly into its surroundings. From refreshing dips in the outdoor pool to yoga sessions and revitalising spa treatments, it’s an environment tailor-made for relaxation. With an abundance of space to play, as well as a treehouse and a petting zoo, children will also be in their element here. Movie nights at the open air cinema are also not to be missed. Fancy a trip to the beach? The hotel has its own area down at Afitos Beach, around a kilometre away, where you can sunbathe on the pristine, golden sand, or cool off in the crystal clear water of the Aegean Sea. There’s no better way to start your mornings than by ordering a traditional Greek breakfast basket (for an additional supplement) to your room, filled with freshly baked bread, homemade jams, fruit grown on-site, and delicious pastries. If you feel like dining in later on as well, the poolside bar and bistro is a perfect spot for a light lunch or a romantic dinner, or just a quiet drink or two. Private dining is also available, as well as wine tasting sessions and cooking lessons, giving you a unique insight into local culinary traditions. The rooms, suites and maisonettes are very much in keeping with the homely vibe and rustic-chic ambience of the surrounding gardens and communal areas, featuring elegant furnishings, timber-beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls. Greek getaways don’t come much more authentic than this.
