Each room has an individual variation of the distinctive raised wooden sleeping platforms built from elaborate hand-carved cedar. Some rooms have hand-painted ceilings and Lindian pointed arches, some have large inviting corner sofas for lounging and reading. Every room contains a unique selection of fabrics, ceramics and rare items from the collection of owner-operator Michalis Melenos. Each of the immaculate en suite bathrooms in the hotel has a striking, Iznik-style hand-painted ceramic tile panel, made by artisans in Turkey. Independently adjustable air conditioning and heating, Internet access, a minibar, a TV, DVD library access and luxurious Frette linen complete the inviting ensemble.
