SKITI

A quiet retreat in Mani.
Scroll

Hidden among the olive groves of Neochori, SKITI is a contemporary stone house designed around simplicity, stillness and the rhythm of the Mani landscape. A place to slow down, reconnect and experience the quiet luxury of enough.

01 — The House
Slow Living

Designed for slow living.

Spanning 137 square metres, SKITI is currently set up to accommodate up to six guests — with the space and flexibility to be reconfigured to host more. The house offers two peaceful bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living room that converts into an additional double bed, a fully equipped kitchen and generous indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Outside, a shaded terrace becomes the centre of everyday life, while a discreet plunge pool offers a place to cool down beneath the Mani sun.

The house was designed to disappear into its surroundings rather than dominate them, allowing the landscape to become part of the experience.

Honest materials — stone, timber and lime finishes
02 — The Details
Materials

Made to age beautifully.

Every material was chosen for its honesty. Local stone. Natural timber. Plaster finishes worked with local sand so the walls blend into the surrounding landscape. Soft linen. Handcrafted textures.

Nothing was selected to follow trends. Everything was selected to feel timeless.

Even the plunge pool was intentionally designed not to resemble a traditional jacuzzi, but to feel like a natural element emerging from the architecture itself—a quiet body of water that belongs to the landscape.

The Experience

Experience Mani differently.

The best moments here rarely appear on a map. If you'd like recommendations for the region — as noted at the end of this page — we're happy to share our curated guide to Mani: our favourite tavernas, wineries, beaches, walking routes, diving spots, paddle boarding, cycling and local experiences. Think of it as recommendations from friends rather than a travel guide.

Location

Neochori, Mani.

Mani is unlike anywhere else in Greece.

A landscape of stone villages, ancient olive groves, dramatic coastline and quiet mountain roads.

Life moves more slowly here.

SKITI sits quietly within this landscape, offering a peaceful base from which to explore—or simply to stay exactly where you are.

The House

Everything you need to know.

Inside

  • Two peaceful bedrooms, designed for restful nights.
  • Two bathrooms, each with walk-in showers.
  • A fully equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing meals with local ingredients.
  • A bright open-plan living room, which can easily become a third sleeping space thanks to its comfortable sofa bed.

  • Outdoor dining and seating areas for long breakfasts, slow lunches and evenings under the stars.
The Property

How the house runs.

A few practical notes on how the house is built and runs — the kind of details worth knowing before you make it your own.

01

The house occupies a corner plot at the heart of the village, sitting right beside the main village square — quiet, yet within easy reach of everyday life.

02

The house operates on a private septic system, independent of any municipal network.

03

SKITI has its own water cistern, providing a reliable reserve during the water shortages that can occur through the summer months.

04

Built with honest, low-maintenance materials, the house is designed to age gracefully and be cared for with a light touch.
