Plan an Escape in...

....Sophia Suites, in Santorini. A recently renovated mansion, originally built more than 150 years ago, turned into a group of luxurious suites where everyone would dream to spend at least a couple of days! Its magnificent rooms and suites are really spacious and wonderfully decorated, combining the contemporary design with the traditional Cycladic architecture and decoration with some moroccan touches... Plus, it offers an uninterrupted volcano-sea view, which allows the visitor feel like "is flying" above this breathtaking view while he is enjoying his breakfast or sunbathing during the day. The visitor can complete the day by relaxing in the hot water of the private hot tub while he is enjoying a chilled glass of the world's awarded local wines watching the stars and the unique Santorinian moon reflected in the sea. The most dreamy spot of this amazing hotel is the indoor cave heated pool, with led lighting, of its honeymoon suite!

Oh... I really would like to spend my holidays there!!!

TR2 the rooms

When Georgios C. Carabellas (an entrepreneur based  in London who is the founder and creative director of TR2 the lifestyle brand) in 2007, stumbled across four derelict shacks in the traditional part of the main village of Skyros, he felt in love by the first sight with their atmospheric views and  their aura. 

I 'm pretty sure that you will fall in love with this guesthouse too... It combines perfectly the Skyrian traditional architecture with contemporary eclectic design and touches of moroccan style. The renovated buildings share a common patio which is tiled with reclaimed old handmade tiles... It is the guesthouse's candy eye which looks like a traditional embroidery! There, you can enjoy your breakfast or a Greek coffee, sitting in a set of traditional Greek round metallic table and rattan chairs. And latter, if the noon doesn't find you in one of the wonderful beaches of the island, you can take a nap in the hammock under the fig trees go the guesthouse.

Exotic Inspired Bedroom

I just loved this bedroom by the first sight! Bright enough with whitewashed walls, white aged floor planks and white crispy fresh linens on a comfortable bed which is too difficult for you to leave them each morning... What I loved most about this room is its makeshift headboard by the moroccan partition which adds and exotic air to the room in combination with the white romantic drapes.

Folder Bedroom: Moroccan Style

Moroccan dining with a modern touch

A really modern aspect of a dining room in a classic Moroccan space. The dining room table was made by a raw wood, from an old tree trunk, and its free shape strikes a balance with the perfectly symmetrical design of the hand made floor tiles. The white Eames chairs come to give some light to the room's dark atmosphere of mystery!     

Philip Dixon's Oasis

Philip Dixon, inspired by his trips around the world shooting fashion, created this Moroccan-style retreat almost 20 years ago. You could imagine that this wonderful house is located somewhere in Morocco. In reality, it is situated in the middle of Venice Beach, in USA, but seems worlds away. The three-bedroom home includes a photography studio with natural light and a river-like pool runs through the main rooms. The indoor and outdoor space blend easily into one another. The consistent feel of the home is not lost even in the kitchen which has modern appliances but looks like it belongs to another place and time.

 

You can find some other homes that look like belong to another era here and there.
