FUOCO: Texture, History, and "The Cocoon" feeling The first studio, FUOCO, 55 square meters, is a typical Greek Tholos, a room carved into the rock of the mountain with the classic dome shape. In the back there is a double bedroom, a private bathroom with shower and a typical cistern as a dreamer’s room. Then you move to the kitchen where you get to the two single beds also with private bathroom and shower and a large fireplace. On the outside there is a patio equipped with a pergola for the exclusive use of the house. 4 beds, 2 bathrooms with showers, 1 kitchen, 1 patio. FUOCO isn't an apartment; it's a piece of the island’s history. With two full bathrooms and separate sleeping wings, it offers the privacy with the raw beauty of Cycladic cave architecture. ACQUA: Flexibility, Independence, and Dual-Living The second Studio, ACQUA, 55 square meters, with a linear and geometric structure, with two independent entrances, is composed of a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a kitchen in the first part and two single beds with fireplace, a bathroom with shower, and a kitchen in the second. Outside, an equipped balcony for exclusive use with sea view. 4 beds, 2 bathrooms with showers, 2 kitchens, 1 terrace. Guests of FUOCO and ACQUA enjoy exclusive access to the 70m² Sky-Lounge, ARIA—the highest point of the property, offering an unobstructed 360-degree panorama of the Venetian Castle and the Aegean Sea.

IANUA was born from the union of two worlds: Charis, who returns to his ancestral roots in Astypalea, and Gaia, an Italian interior designer who shaped the vision of the space. Together, they created IANUA, Casa per Viaggiatori—a home where the island’s heritage meets thoughtful design, and where hospitality is practiced as an art and travel as a philosophy.

The Location: In the Heart of the Chora IANUA is situated in the prestigious center of the Chora, where the island’s history is most palpable. We are located in a peaceful, traditional neighborhood that offers a rare sense of quiet, yet we are only a few minutes' stroll from the monumental entrance of the Querini Castle. Everything you need is within walking distance: - The Castle: A brief, scenic walk leads you to the gates of the Venetian fortress. - The Vibe: Within moments, you can transition from our quiet sanctuary to the Chora’s most refined restaurants, artisanal boutiques, and vibrant bars. - The Setting: Our position offers the perfect balance—close enough to feel the pulse of Astypalea’s social life, but secluded enough to enjoy the silence of the Aegean nights.
