Every room faces the sea
Private terraces with linen daybeds look straight over the cove, so the first thing you see each morning is water.
Fourteen rooms · One cove · No rush
Fourteen whitewashed rooms above a quiet cove, breakfast until noon, and a little blue box where your phone can take a siesta.
Scroll slowly. Your notifications will take the hint.
The Phone Siesta
The host meets you on the terrace with something cold and a deadpan, open palm.
Into the hand-painted blue box it goes, onto a linen pillow of its own.
Heavy brass, olive-branch fob. Officially, a ticket to nowhere.
Entirely optional. Collect it whenever you like. It will be fine without you.
No itinerary, no wristbands, no 7 am anything. Just a cove, a terrace and a hotel that assumes you have nowhere to be.

Private terraces with linen daybeds look straight over the cove, so the first thing you see each morning is water.

Local bread, figs, honey and strong coffee, served on the terrace whenever you happen to wake up.

Lock your phone in our hand-painted box at check-in, or don't: it is your holiday. Collect it whenever you like.
Your host, your box, your key
"Hand me your phone. Good. Now, breakfast is until noon, the cove is down those steps, and the fourth night is on us. Anything else can wait."
Fourteen rooms means the staff know your name by the second morning, and forget your inbox by the first.

The guestbook
We would rather fill these pages with real words from real guests, shared with their permission, than write them ourselves. No invented reviews, no borrowed stars.
Until then, leave your email and we will write to you, by hand if we can manage it, when the shutters open for the season.
Notes on the pillow
Not at all. The phone siesta is optional, and you can collect your phone from the box at any time.
Book four consecutive nights and the lowest-priced night is free. Subject to availability; see booking terms for eligible dates.
We can arrange a private transfer from the nearest airport or ferry port; the drive along the coast takes about 50 minutes.
Three nights, one cove, and a fourth on the house. Bring a book. Leave the rest in the box.
