Μost of the furniture are antiques. The beds – sofas are made from ecological mattresses and hyper-mattresses from coco –tree fibers and natural rubber.
Just a 10-minute drive from the coast, this 200 year old farmhouse was historically a hideout when it was infamously used during the Cretan Wars to hide from the islands invaders. George, the owner, was the fortunate choice of fifteen Grandchildren to inherit the home of his famous Grandfather of the same name; an important player in the historical history of the island and its freedom, ‘George Digrιdis’.
It seems fate had chosen the youngest grandson, George to continue the history of this beautiful house; a plastic surgeon in his day job, his eye for detail and passion for aesthetics helped him to create and restore the beautiful, though slightly derelict house. The gardens, though always stunning, have now taken on a magical atmosphere with the hundreds of tropical, colorful plants and fruit trees that George has planted, all centered around the Mulberry trees that provides the much needed shade to the terrace, and the 1800 year old oak tree that welcomes guests at the entrance.
The once old house, storerooms and stables have been now converted in nine individual rooms, each with their own style embracing the original artifacts of the farmhouse. Each one has its own character and is decorated with antique furniture and objects d’art – all for harmony with a peerlessly placid environment.
The ten rooms, suites and maisonettes are beautifully furnished using traditional wood, four-poster beds with luxurious mattresses and romantic canopies above them, or iron beds draped with soft, light fabrics.
Divided into four categories of accommodation ranging from the simpler standard rooms to the elegant Elia deluxe Suite (the original bedroom of George’s Grandfather where the gun hole for protecting the house at night is still evident). The difference between them is mainly in the size of either the room or the private terrace-balcony or courtyard.
All rooms have modern comforts such as en suite bathrooms, satellite TV, hair dryer, kettle and all necessary to make coffee-tea, new energy conserving air-conditioning units (noiseless too!); as are the new completely noiseless eco-friendly mini-bar fridges.
They all enjoy the same room facilities and share in the simple but delightful breakfast buffet, complete with homemade cakes, pies and treats. There are also, free of charge, Baby Cot, and Internet access.
The independent Villa Elanthi with its wonderful sea views is perfect for large families or groups of friends with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and self catering facilities.
In order to make our hotel more Eco friendly, whilst enhancing the comfort of our guests, we have made some significant changes to the hotel. We have installed a brand new hot water system that runs totally on solar energy (even on cloudy days) .
