Nous avons toujours vécu la Grèce comme une terre magique, source d’inspiration et d’énergie. Après avoir habité à Londres, puis un passage à Paris, nous avons décidé de quitter la vie urbaine, avec notre fille, et notre chat; direction notre cher bassin Méditerranéen, héritage de nos origines familiales. C’est l’aventure d’une jeune famille, grandissant proche de la nature, bercée par les vagues de la mer de Myrto et le chant des criquets.
Hannah pursued a career in digital marketing straight after graduation. This led her to work for some reputed companies such as Proximity BBDO, Apple EMEA HQ, Caprice Holdings. She later completed a Master’s degree from LCC in Public Relations and opened her own consultancy in 2015, HB DIGITAL.

He enjoys working with people and meeting clients from all over the world and has been working in the industry for more than 15 years. His experience includes top five-star properties such as the Fairmont in Montreux, the Landmark de la Grèce, Grosvenor Casinos in London, Intercontinental Hotels in Geneva de la Grèce, Paris.
Notre vision de l’hôtellerie va bien au-delà de la qualité de service proposée aux clients. Tout repose sur l’attention portée à chaque voyageur. Pour nous, elle doit être la même que celle que nous réservons à nos êtres chers, à nos amis, à notre famille, que nous nous réjouissons de retrouver après de longues périodes de séparation. C’est une approche originale sur l’île, à mi-chemin entre une pension de famille et un boutique hôtel.
During your stay, our team will be your personal guides on Spetses, from April to October. We do our best for you to enjoy the unique features of our island and have a memorable stay. You love to cycle? We will find you a specialised bike for your island trips! You need to practice the piano for your next recital? We will find you a piano on the island that you can access easily! As part of the Yayaki Spetses experience, we also invite you to take part in some relaxing, joyful, adventurous or spiritual activities.
Discover your new destination for a romantic weekend, summer holiday, mini-moon, friends-moon, honeymoon, or a group trip, a retreat, under the auspices of the Greek stars, Gods and Goddesses.
Yayaki is an homage to our Greek, German, Lebanese and French grandmothers.
It is their deeply kind souls, lifestyles and wisdom that surrounded and nourished us.
What if Yayaki was also a little unconventional, gifted with humor and full of ideas?
Yaya means “grandmother” in Greek.
The “ki” is the sweet touch imagined by Hannah and Karl.
It is the little nickname Hannah used for the first time as a kid, to call her own grandmother.
More than a hotel, Yayaki offers travellers a loving home where you are invited to stay just like any member of our extended family.
