About Soma
Soma began not as a project, but as a way of being – a quiet inclination of life.
PHILOSOPHY
In Greek, Soma means "body" - a gentle reminder to return to ourselves, to the land, and to presence.
The name also carries the spirit of its founders, drawn from Socratis and Maria, whose vision was rooted in love, simplicity, and a deep connection to nature.
Shaped by stone, softened by silence, and warmed by fire, each room opens to the earth and sky, with sweeping horizon views across the mountainous landscape and the pine forests beyond.
SUSTAINABILITY
At Soma, we believe that hospitality should respect and care for the planet.
