How it started

Our story starts in 1987, when Adonis first established 6 holiday vacation homes amongst the family’s olive grove & vegetable garden. No reception, pool or food & beverage services, just an open heart and eagerness to make each of his guests experience the Cretan “Filoxenia” that he had to offer.

The birth of a hospitality concept

In 2020, returning to his hometown of Gouves, Giannis the son of Adonis, left the busy city life behind , to be ,once again, part of the free, sun-filled, laid back way of living. A hospitality concept that he ought to share with the world!
