Palati

Step into a piece of Oinoessa’s family history at Palati, a distinctive two-storey suite in the heart of Lofou, Cyprus. Once an important part of the family’s ancestral home, Palati has been thoughtfully transformed into an intimate village retreat where traditional Cypriot architecture and contemporary design exist beautifully side by side.

The character of the original building remains central to the experience. Natural stone and modern glass elements create an elegant contrast between old and new, preserving the atmosphere of a traditional Lofou home while giving the interior a fresh and considered feel. It is a space that reflects Oinoessa’s wider philosophy: allowing the past to remain visible rather than designing over it.

On the ground floor, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area sits alongside an inviting living space with a cosy fireplace, creating a warm setting for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. Upstairs, a peaceful bedroom and private bathroom provide a quieter retreat, giving the suite a natural separation between its living and sleeping spaces.

Outside, Palati opens onto a beautiful traditional shared courtyard, also enjoyed by guests of Kamari, Sterna and Palatoui. Shaded by trees and framed by the stone-built character of the surrounding suites, the courtyard evokes the communal spirit of traditional Cypriot village homes, a peaceful place for morning coffee, conversation or simply enjoying the unhurried atmosphere of Lofou.

Palati can also be combined with Kamari, Sterna and Palatoui, allowing the neighbouring suites to accommodate groups of up to eight adults. Guests can stay close together and share the courtyard while retaining the comfort and privacy of their individual accommodation.

For those drawn to places with a genuine connection to their past, Palati offers more than somewhere to stay in Lofou, it is an opportunity to experience part of the family home from which the story of Oinoessa grew.
