Perantzada Hotel
Style Nouveau neoclassical villa
Setting Ithacan harbourside haven
With the air of a private villa owned by some devastatingly stylish doyen of design, Perantzada Hotel is a haven of laid-back luxury. Perched above the harbour town of Vathi, the former neoclassical naval college has been transformed into a peaceful boutique retreat where the elegantly old blends seamlessly with the strikingly new. The imaginative and quirk-filled interiors mix gleaming white with pops of candy colour; outside, the sleek infinity pool seems to float above the shimmering sea below.

Our favourite rooms
We love Bluebell, a junior suite with a private terrace offering uninterrupted views of the sea. Located in the hotel’s modern extension, it features iconic furniture such as an Eames rocking chair and a pebble-shaped coffee table. The multi-level bathroom has sleek glass walls, a sunken bath and a walk-in monsoon shower. If you’re looking for more traditional surroundings, try one of the romance-inspired rooms in the old building. Boasting names such as the Secret Room and the Fairy Tale, they have muslin-draped four poster beds, beamed ceilings and lines of Greek poetry inscribed on the walls.
Packing tips
Take a pair of Grecian sandals to navigate Ithaca’s many hills in classical and comfortable style. A copy of Homer’s Odyssey will help you brush up the island’s mythical past while lounging by the pool.
Also
Designer pieces are dotted throughout the hotel. You’ll find Tom Dixon lights, Werner Panton chairs and chandeliers by French artist Martin Bas. Some rooms also have Oliver+Daeyn emergency travel kits including eye masks and gel to sooth away journey strains.
