ELEGIA

Elegia Resort covers a total surface of 1,588.25 sq.m., has a total capacity of 26 rooms and is located at Akrotiraki settlement on the Greek island of Tinos. The design of its construction is a modern interpretation of local traditional architecture, aiming to achieve its smooth integration with the surrounding terrain. Architectural composition evolves into linear prisms, oriented with the long axis running east-west, enabling visitors to relish an amazing sea view, lavishly offered by all rooms and shared spaces of the complex. Elements such as arches, stone walls and wooden arbors are redesigned in a modern way, encompassing traditional construction methods, in full harmonization with the microscale of Tinos settlements, creating a synthesis of tradition and innovation within an environment that perfectly matches aesthetics with technical integrity.

The hotel deploys over three building complexes, each one composed of benches – bases made of stonework and overground levels, ensuring accessibility, comfort and flow of visitors. The dominating material of overground parts is white cement mortar, whereas local stones, jointed with fair colored coating are used for the bases. Niches and semi-outdoor spaces protect against strong winds, reinforcing in parallel the sense of privacy. Each mass is meticulously designed as to the arrangement of interior and exterior spaces, permitting natural lighting and ventilation, ensuring at the same time the operational requirements of the unit. The materials used come from local tradition, with tiles made of raw material forming an image that clearly reflects the natural beauty of the area.
