We own and run this family hotel. Tourism development in our locality had a positive impact on the local economy. It has broadened the horizons of the locals thus giving them the incentive to stay around and not to go off to Mainland Greece to seek employment.
It also encourages local people to take an interest, develop the nature trails and work on the land; it gives them a greater pride in the countryside around the village while at the same time giving them ideas on how they can demonstrate their skills, as well as giving them the ability to mix with people from many walks of life and from all over the world.
The local community is central to our success in supporting our business and help in servicing the needs of our clients. We employ local people, use local suppliers and products. We provide a detailed guide for our guests to make the most of the local area and tavernas. By being successful in our business, we can demonstrate to the world the beauty of the area and enhance our local community with its traditions, customs and values.
We operate our own environmental policy. We encourage guests to use energy efficiently and keep water consumption to a minimum. Lights in communal areas operate on sensors and the water is heated via solar panels (for about 9 months yearly) thus further reducing energy consumption. Vegetable and garden matter is composted and bottles from the bar are returned to the original supplier. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products.
Apart from our small orchard fronting the property we have landscaped one quarter of our site with recycled local stone creating terraces at the back of the buildings which are productively planted according to local traditions with orange, lemon, apricot, peach, plum, quince nectarine, fig, olive, almond trees, vines and various flowering plants and herbs. Our clients are welcome to use the terraces for gathering fruit when it is available or simply relaxing. We are using natural water resources for irrigation – our own well.
No chemicals are added to the land so the produce is organic. Water is recycled for the garden and waste biologically degrades and soaks away. Our cats are quite friendly and part of the scene, while they roam in the grounds.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
