Sustainability
For Crete.
For those after us.
This island has fed and sheltered our family for generations. Looking after it is not a programme, it is the condition of staying here.
Our commitments
Practice,
not promise.
We farm regeneratively at TIERRAS, protect old olive terraces and irrigate with recovered water.
We employ locally, buy locally and keep our supply chains on the island wherever the island can supply them.
Where we focus
Five long commitments.
- 01
Land
Regenerative farming and old terraces.
Composting, cover crops and no synthetic inputs on our estate land.
- 02
Water
A scarce island resource.
Recovered irrigation water, low-flow systems and drought-tolerant planting.
- 03
Energy
Less, and cleaner.
Solar generation, heat recovery and passive cooling built into the architecture.
- 04
Community
Employment that stays local.
Year-round contracts, training and partnerships with village producers.
- 05
Materials
Built to last, repaired not replaced.
Local stone, lime, timber and textiles from Greek makers.
Our people
Build this
with us.
We are always looking for people who care about hospitality and about this island in equal measure.
