Petrino Eco Village

About this hotel

Tranquil eco-friendly retreat in Halkidiki Built from local stone and wood and set among secluded gardens of olive and fruit trees, this quiet hideaway on the Kassandra peninsula settles into its surroundings rather than standing apart from them. The outdoor pool, yoga sessions and spa treatments are geared toward slowing down, while a treehouse, a petting zoo and plenty of space to play keep children occupied. Movie nights at the open-air cinema are worth staying in for. Afitos Beach, around a mile away, belongs to the hotel: golden sand for sunbathing and clear Aegean water for cooling off. Mornings can start with a traditional Greek breakfast basket, for an extra charge, delivered to the room with fresh bread, homemade jams, on-site fruit and pastries. Later, the poolside bar and bistro suits a light lunch, a quiet drink or a slower dinner. Private dining, wine tasting and cooking lessons are also on offer, each a window into local food traditions. Rooms, suites and maisonettes carry the same rustic-chic feel as the gardens around them, with timber-beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and homely, elegant furnishings. Few Greek getaways feel this authentic.
