Right in the centre of Crete, on Mount Psiloritis, which is the highest and most sacred mountain of the island.
In this land where myth blends with history and nature amalgamates with the dream.
Here, where an ancient civilization has left its marks, which come alive even today in everyday life of the people.
Here, where development and progress has not yet managed to denature the environment and to designate human relations.
On this mountain, with its rich geological and biological diversity, the rare plants, animals and birds, which made it a preserve and a member of the European Geoparks.
In this region, in the village of Axos that has been inhabited for over 4.000 years, in an area of 60.000 m2 we created the property.
Here we grow olive trees, grapevine, all kinds of fruit trees, greens, vegetables and many herbs and aromatic plants with mild, natural and organic methods, without fertilizers and chemicals. Our farm has also many animals and poultry for eggs, milk and meat.
The people who work in the farm are all farmers who were born and raised in the area applying techniques, which go centuries back.
The property offers high quality hotel services without being just a hotel. We see in our visitors not just clients, but guests, our own people, whose wellbeing is important to us.
It offers exquisite traditional Cretan gastronomy without being just a restaurant. We selec t the ingredients carefully and everybody can participate in the preparation of the meals. Most of the time the preparation of the food is more like “cooking with friends” in front of the open fire or ends up in a traditional cooking class.

For the acquaintance with nature we have some suggestions and programs for our guests, whether they are alone or in a group:

*
Hiking on marked paths
*
Exploring nature on donkey-back
*
Participation or observation of farming duties
*
Participation or observation of social, cultural or religious events that take place in the surrounding villages

Or simply enjoying nature with all our senses under the trees or by the pool in the summer.
