Constructed in 1750, its towers designed to repel pirates, this beautiful boutique property complements its original Venetian elements with contemporary decor – exposed-stone walls, white-wood floors – to create what’s arguably the Ionians' loveliest hotel. Set in the olive groves 800m south of Lakka, it holds just seven suites, along with a restaurant and a kidney-shaped pool.
