Welcome at the Crossroads Inn! Your countryside boutique hotel in Tinos Island!
Welcome to Crossroads Inn, a countryside boutique hotel in Tinos, offering a home away from home where you can experience authentic slow living on this beautiful Greek island in the Cyclades.
My passion for the energy and hidden stories that echo like concealed secrets within these old buildings, a feeling akin to that of a "passionate lover," inspired me to breathe new life into them, respecting their history and timeless beauty. The result is Crossroads Inn, a unique slow living retreat on Tinos Island.
The restoration was a labor of love, meticulously documented step by step and photograph by photograph. My skilled local craftsmen, with their inherent knowledge, carefully preserved the integrity of these interconnected structures, stone by stone, while also strengthening them to ensure absolute safety. Crossroads Inn now stands as a proud testament to Tinos' past glories, offering traditional accommodation in the truly authentic setting of Tripotamos, a charming traditional village.
During the restoration, we uncovered a treasure trove of old marble lintels, beautifully carved and integrated into the stone walls. These cherished pieces have been lovingly preserved and now grace our boutique hotel, adding to its unique character and charm. I can't wait to share their stories with you.
The antique furniture we discovered within the old buildings has been lovingly restored and given pride of place in our refurbished spaces, preserving the ambiance of a traditional Cycladic homestead. Modern furniture comforts, essential for today's traveler, have been seamlessly integrated by the seasoned local craftsmen, who passionately and patiently crafted each piece by hand, blending them seamlessly with the aesthetics of the older spaces.
Crossroads Inn is the realization of a personal vision, made possible by the unwavering support of my family, friends, and the residents of Tripotamos, our scenic traditional village in Tinos, where our charming slow living hotel is located. They all stood steadfastly by me, each adding yet another "stone" to my effort.
It is my most fervent wish to share with you the result of this collective effort. I invite you to experience the authentic slow living of Tinos Island at Crossroads Inn and immerse yourself in the slow rhythm of life in Tripotamos, a charming Cycladic traditional village. I can’t wait to welcome you in our hotel in Tinos to feel the gentle breeze, witness the the playful conspiracy of light and shadow, and become part of the village's daily life – the talks of the villagers in the gardens, the strolls along the tiered alleys and vaulted passageways, the tolling of the church bells, and the savoring of authentic local cuisine. I can’t wait for you to drink it all in.
I eagerly await your arrival at Crossroads Inn, your Tinos Island home away from home. It will be my greatest pleasure to pamper you with the traditional Greek hospitality you so richly deserve.
