Combining elegance with authenticity, Melanopetra is a 1850 two-storey stone residence built into the core of the beautiful preserved traditional village of Emporios in Nisyros island, turned into an atmospheric boutique hotel of two luxury apartments. Lovingly restored by the owner and architect Anna, it combines modern minimalistic design with the eternal aesthetics of local architecture to create a harmonic whole with high standard services in a warm manner that reflects traditional hospitality.
The hotel delivers unpretentious style and homely comfort, in a context that retains the distinctiveness of the authentic. Its name is inspired from the main building material, the local black stone, further enhancing its character.
Emerging from the rocky volcanic landscape the hotel is a small paradise in itself, exuding subtle luxury, eternal elegance and authentic ambiance. Its privileged location in a truly original environment with the amazing view of the Aegean sea and the volcanic aura, create a truly unique atmosphere around the hotel, seemingly untouched by time. The emanating serenity and the offering warm hospitality contribute to its simple charm, in a landscape of natural Aegean Sea beauty.
The boutique hotel is comprised of two luxury apartments, ample in size, one on each floor, with private entrance and yard. The white minimal interiors with smooth curved edges, rough textured surfaces and simple deco gives you a relaxing ambience and an enjoyable atmosphere. Earthy colours and shades of white are combined with careful touches of linen and cotton fabrics, traditional preserved elements, as well as modern equipment in simple forms. The clear, bright natural light flowing through the small windows brings the texture of the white spaces to life and creates a harmonic, magical ambiance. The combination of local volcanic stone and minimalistic white interiors offers a unique and luxurious relaxing shelter.
Each apartment offers high-quality and austere aesthetics with all modern appliances, amenities and comforts. They contain minimalistic design furniture, superb sea view, independent heating and a fully equipped kitchen, bedroom spaces on separate levels and living rooms with a comfortable sitting corner of built-in sofas that can accommodate an extra person, wooden table, and digital LED TV.
The elegant hotel with its surrounding spaces stands like magnificent sculpture which is designed so that each apartment enjoys the same exceptional views. Its location within the stone-built settlement with terraced houses and narrow streets as well as the breathtaking view of the Aegean sea and the volcanic aura, create a truly unique atmosphere around the villa, seemingly untouched by time.
