Venue Directory

Under the Linden Tree, a serene retreat nestled on the picturesque unspoiled Cycladic Island of Tinos, in Greece. Situated in an enchanting valley in the heart of the island.

Under the Linden Tree offers a unique sanctuary where guests can connect with the rich history of Tinos while experiencing the true essence of living in a restored centuries old Farmhouse, that has been respectfully transformed into 5 independent, unique cottages.

Enjoy the views, scents and sounds of what we like to think of as our little paradise, a green wilderness with a distinct Tinian and Cycladic style.

Tinos is a captivating Greek Cycladic Island in the heart of the Aegean Sea. It boasts 40 picturesque, charming white villages, over 900 churches and monasteries, traditional dovecotes, and scenic sandy and pebble beaches with azure crystal-clear waters.

Despite being relatively undiscovered by foreign tourists, it holds immense significance for Greek pilgrims. Aside from being a religious haven, Tinos is also a hub of art, nurturing the birthplace of renowned Greek artists and sculptors.

Its unspoiled architecture, picturesque villages, beautiful beaches, and rich cultural traditions make Tinos an ideal destination for nature, architecture, art, and tradition enthusiasts.

Renowned for its exceptional quality, the island's cuisine is characterized by fresh, organic ingredients sourced from its fertile land and surrounding seas.

Tinos is particularly famous for its delectable cheeses, including the flavorful Tinos graviera. Seafood enthusiasts can relish in the catch of the day, while the island's thyme honey, and unique spirits add distinctive notes to its culinary offerings.

Under the Linden Tree stands gracefully on the island, paying homage to the centuries-old Linden Tree that lives in the center of the valley.

Under the Linden Tree is committed to a light carbon footprint through organic farming, solar energy utilization, and responsible water management. Guests can enjoy COCO-MAT mattresses crafted from natural materials, organic and locally produced soaps, daily harvest from the local produce of the organic orchard within the farm, and a range of Greek Organic toiletries that align with the retreat's commitment to sustainability.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The property features an orange and olive grove, a flourishing vineyard, artichoke patches, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, lily ponds, and freshwater springs, along with 5 dreamy cottages: The Orange Grove, the Olive Grove, the Morning Glory, the Oak, and the Rock cottage.

Named after surrounding trees and flowers, the cottages are converted farmhouses and stables offering modern comforts, traditionally restored architecture, and island charm.

Under the Linden Tree is a sustainable ecological retreat and a vineyard nestled in the heart of the island, far from the crowd and fifteen minutes from the port.

Accommodation will be single or double rooms in cottages spread within the vineyards, orange & olive groves. All with sweeping views up to the granite hill of Exomvourgo. The cottages (Olive, Oak, Orange & Morning Glory ) are designed to provide modern comforts and privacy with separate entrances and outdoor spaces.

The cottages rely on solar panels for electricity and hot water. The rooms have the natural coolness of the oak forest and the trees that exist within the Estate of Under the Linden Tree (olives, oranges, lemons and other fruit trees), which together with the vineyard create an ideal microclimate for the summer months without the need for air conditioning.

For the difficult days with excessively high temperatures, we have silent floor fans with low electricity consumption, friendly to the environment, in every farmhouse.
