A Byzantine palace, awarded two MICHELIN Keys for the second consecutive year. Surrounded by magnificent gardens and two unique pools, one of which is reserved exclusively for adults and winds around part of the hotel like a meandering river. All complemented by breathtaking views of the mountains and olive groves.
