We believe in thoughtful homes, quiet care, and unhurried stays.
Meet Hamza

He pairs a keen eye for design and meticulous attention to detail with practical problem‑solving skills–that define the high standard of the company’s services and operations.
Meet Serhat
Serhat single-handedly managed a holiday resort in South Crete, earning consistent five-star guest reviews. Now he is the co-founder of The Grove Crete. He previously enjoyed a successful academic career and has worked as a journalist, project manager and tour guide across Asia before following his passion for Greek culture and relocating to Crete. A natural people-person, he is dedicated to guest relations and ensuring every client feels well informed, cared for and welcome.
Meet Rocko
Our furry mascot is in charge of guest charming and stealing cuddles. Rescued on the highway, Rocko the dog has been by our side ever since. He’s an expert in eating, sleeping and going for walks – and always ready to make new friends.
Our Life in Crete
We live and work in South Crete, managing a curated portfolio of private villas and helping guests discover the region beyond the typical tourist routes.
From the beaches of Triopetra and Agios Pavlos to the villages around Plakias and Agia Galini, our daily life here allows us to recommend experiences based on genuine local knowledge.
Through our STAYS Journal, we share guides to South Crete’s beaches, restaurants, hiking trails, and cultural traditions.
Carefully Chosen
From everyday comfort to the smallest thoughtful touches, each home is prepared with care and intention.

A Stay That Feels Considered
We believe that the best holidays unfold naturally.
Clear communication, well-prepared homes, and local knowledge create the kind of ease that allows you to truly settle in.
