A gastronomic experience that brings the French "je ne sais quoi" and unique Greek energy and flavors together. That’s what Bon Bon Fait Maison has aimed to do in the Kythira Islands—where the Ionia, Aegean and Cretan seas meet.

The story behind this project takes place in Paris, where the founders of the place are from. They embarked on what seemed to be a run-of-the-mill trip to Greece—only to fall in love with not only the Island but also the gastronomic scene, the paradisiacal scenery and its people.

Chef, Kriton Minas Poulis, is the brains behind this operation; he embodies the gastronomic philosophy of BON BON Fait Maison—and does it with so much elegance it's hard to believe how laid back the place and its menu can be—including homemade sorbets, French galettes and buckwheat flour crepes (and much more). All made with a beautiful selection of traditional Greek products.

The Interior Design Laboratorium is responsible for the design identity and the result is an obvious home run.

Based in a traditional two-story refurbished building from the 1860's, the design evokes the Greek Summer and the slow pace of life in the Greek islands. The intention of the study was to create a space that subconsciously awakened memories of a childhood Summer vacation within their visitors.

All materials were carefully selected to add to the narrative: from its look to the table, BON BON Fait Maison is truly an emotional and gourmet experience.

Lisbon is one of my favorite places in Western Europe. This charming coastal city is constantly recognized as one of the best cities is the world, probably because it offers the best of two worlds—on one side it is a display of history and tradition and on the other a modern and vibrant nook for those who enjoy the lure of nightlife.

The enchanting Santa Clara 1728 is an 18th-Century building located in one of the most romantic Lisbon squares. Surrounded by monuments and rivers, this home offers not only serenity and comfort but also a stunning display of architecture and design.

The building's sense of intimacy is felt through a sensitive interplay of interior and exterior features, while the generous windows frame the unique brilliance of the Lisbon light which spills over the city and can be seen reflected in the river below.

Staying in this gorgeous place is not an out-of-reach dream. You can reserve your suite via Santa Clara’s website today and start planning your trip.
