Guided by Sotiris Tsergas, we travel from Athens to the beautiful island of Samos to continue our visit to Casa Cook Samos. As tourists, as soon as we get off the bus and enter the trail, it's like stepping out of real life, like entering a Hollywood set, and the scenery is beautiful. The combination of exterior walls and roads on both sides, including the landscape, creates a beautiful atmosphere.
The hotel is located on a deep beachfront plot, with rich plants and cool water features woven together. A series of water elements such as ponds, small canals and swimming pools run through the buildings, connecting the various surrounding green outdoor Spaces.

Come in, one can see the central swimming pool, the interaction of this pool is very good, we can reach the pool from each room. Sotiris Tsergas told us that with the pool, he is applying a traditional communal housing concept to the pool. In their traditional congregations, they would build a circle of houses around the square, so that all public activities would take place in this square. So is the swimming pool, which is the center of the whole building.
Next, Sotiris Tserga took us to the SPA, which was a very dark place, and we suddenly entered from the sunny place outside, and the vision was suddenly darkened. The materials chosen for the SPA are all natural, such as the bamboo we see, the texture of the walls we touch, and the fabrics we use. There is also a water well installation inside the space, which visually makes the whole space flow.
Further into the hotel rooms, we obviously feel that the space is much smaller, and the privacy is not strong. In addition, the room is the most prominent is an open bathroom, this design makes the room slightly spacious inside. As Sotiris Tserga said, this is a luxury hotel more suitable for couples to stay, sometimes a project landing, it is difficult to achieve 100% perfect effect, so they will choose a more moderate way to solve.
The outdoor space of the hotel is abundant, which brings us a very comfortable experience. As we walk through the hotel, we can walk through the bar, through the guest rooms, through the SPA, and then gather together, and you can sit here and have a nice time and interact with the building itself.
The design of the hotel from the building to the interior, all present a modern and simple style. The decor blends rustic tones with natural handmade elements to create a modern casual atmosphere and a true Greek feel.
