a home in between continents
We will run THE GROVE CRETE to offer you personalized experiences, instead of run-of-the-mill services. We strive to provide you with a home away from home – the same way that Crete feels like home to us.
After meeting in Berlin, we both realized that big city life was no longer for us. The prospect of hosting guests from all over the world and reconnecting with nature had much greater appeal. We both share roots in the Mediterranean region. That is why Crete was a natural choice for the location of THE GROVE CRETE - not just because we admire Greek history, mythology, cuisine and handcraft. The island is located right between Asia minor, Europe and North Africa, with a South coast that has remained almost untouched by mass tourism, harbouring bountiful natural and cultural resources. In the face of climate change, the sustainable use of these resources became our guiding principle.
Our professional backgrounds are in facility and project management as well as government affairs. Having traveled the world extensively, we came to know what we personally expect from the hospitality sector in the 21st century. So we planned a hotel that we ourselves would want to stay in: well-designed, relaxed, friendly, and with a vision that is conscious of its local impact - making sustainable living fun and not overburdening guests with a sense of mission.
Let us invite you to our home. Let us invite you to THE GROVE CRETE. We look forward to your stay.
