Villa Galini is a unique Historic Villa, located in Sithonia, Halkidki (Northern Greece). A proud member of the Historic Hotels of Europe, awarded by Condé Nast Traveller and inspired by the monastic architecture of Mount Athos. Passionately restored, splendidly fitted with lovely antiques, rare artifacts and exposed beam ceilings, the 11 graciously appointed guestrooms and 13 suites offer a real experience of the grandeur and affluence of the past. Unique details such as the bathrooms designed by frequent guest Salvador Dali, mosaic tiles of Yves St Laurent, the piano of the almost-resident – Gina Bachauer evoke the splendour of past eras, while sumptuous contemporary amenities and comforts guarantee the idyllic relaxation.
On the top of Galani Hill, Villa Galini, once a playground for international royalty, world famous artists and hearts of state was initially a monastic property in its majority. The Villa, an example of unique architecture and beauty, is surrounded by magnificent pine, almond and citrus trees, boasting stunning vistas over the Aegean and the islands of Sporades.
