A hamlet of ancient olive-pickers cottages

A collection of ancient olive-pickers cottages, Xyloporta is more a hamlet than a villa. Each cottage has been converted and modernized to a high standard while retaining its unique character, combining the raw beauty of Greece with the luxury of a five star private residence or boutique hotel. The cottages sit around a tranquil courtyard on a secluded 5 acre estate surrounded by olive groves, gracefully situated on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea. The interiors are sympathetic to the heritage of the site, decorated in clean and classic whites and blues; with basins handcarved from the local limestone, the bathrooms are all furnished with good quality fittings, towels, bathrobes and toiletries.
