PHILOSOPHY
Portes Houses is still run by the family who built it in 2012. Together with a small team, they continue to care for every detail themselves, creating an experience that feels personal.
Our Story
A family, an island, and a door that never closes.
ORIGIN STORY
More Than a Hotel. A Family Story Rooted in Koufonisia.
For more than 25 years, a mother, a father, and their daughter spent their summers in Koufonisia. In 2012, they decided to create a place that reflected everything they loved about the island: simplicity, warmth, and a slower way of living.
Koufonisia has a way of changing people’s relationship with time. Days move slower. The sea is always close. Life becomes simpler. After decades of returning to the island every summer, our family found a hillside overlooking the Aegean.
In an area known as Porta, the gateway between the village and the countryside, Portes Houses began to take shape. Not as a conventional hotel, but as a collection of homes designed to belong to the landscape around them.
