ÓROS

Sitting on a vantage point between the commanding alpine peaks and the dense forest of the valley below, this chalet serves as a haven for a family — a place to reconnect, recover, and experience the seasons in all their intensity, with winter as its vibrant centerpiece.

Harmonizing with the local vernacular and the mountain culture, it celebrates the craftsmanship of stone and timber, reconciling the rugged, savage beauty of alpine life with the comforts of a well-crafted home.

We are thrilled to have O&O Aesthesis, the regeneration project of the historic Asteria complex, earn two winning placements in LIV Hospitality Design Awards: Architecture - Living Space in the Luxury Resort category, and Architecture - Living Space in the Beach Destination category.

Along with A6Architects and AUDO, landscape architects Greenways, and interior designers Muza Lab, and under the lead of Grivalia Hospitality and Kerzner International, we embarked on this arduous revitalization project of great responsibility, entrusted with the natural beauty of the location, and the historical value of its architectural heritage.

Manna draped in snowy grace

A soft blanket of snow has gently enveloped Manna, heralding winter’s serene arrival in the Arcadic Mountains. Amidst the frosted stillness of the dense forest, Manna stands as a beacon of warmth and solace — a sanctuary where the chill of the season meets the glow of hospitality, offering a world of comforting treats and cherished reprieve.
