The hotel is located in a restored one thousand year old Byzantine monastic retreat which offers modern conveniences without distracting from the spiritual feeling of the area which has been known to be inhabited for more than five thousand years.

A 7km Hiking Trail departs from the front door of the Hotel and follows a remote valley with a beautiful brook flowing down the middle. The cliffs are dotted with cave dwellings on both sides.

There is an Early Christian Byzantine Cave Church, containing some frescoes right within the hotel complex itself. There is also an underground city just across from the Hotel waiting to be excavated. The food served at the hotel kitchen is all organic. Breakfast is presented with home made bread, clotted cream, honeycomb and fresh fruit is served on a the pretty walled terrace in the summer months and in a naturally furnished cave room in the cooler months.
