There is a kind of flame in Crete – let us call it ‘soul’ – something more powerful than either life or death. There is pride, obstinacy, valor, and together with these something else inexpressible and imponderable, something which makes you rejoice that you are human being, and at the same time tremble.

our manifesto

stay in balance with nature

After many years of practising the wonderful path of yoga, meditation, and inner search, a strong impulse for personal development and deeper integration convinced me to create a unique shelter to feel home in an unspoilt natural scenery, ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation, regaining calm of mind, balance, and deep peace.

Nature is vital to our very being. So is sustainable green architecture. A dream of offering exclusive hospitality in a natural place of seclusion, quietness, and privacy, on this land in southern part of Crete that affords mesmerizing and meditative panoramic views of the sea, came true!
