Welcome to the Cozy Olive Grove Blog
Here we tell the story of how a wild olive grove on Corfu is becoming a place for people. A place to arrive, breathe deeply, and simply be.
We – that’s Vera Isabella and Imanuel – live on this land, among 200 old olive trees, with views of the sea and the rocks of Arillas. And we’re building something: what exactly, you can find out here 😄.
In this blog we’re taking you along for the ride. You’ll learn what it’s like for us to build this project – with all the beautiful moments, the setbacks, the bureaucratic hurdles, and the magical sunsets that make everything worthwhile again. We write about olive harvests and project progress, about village life and our guests, about sustainability and the question of what a “cozy” olive grove actually means.
Some of you may already know us. Others are new here. What you all have in common: You are warmly welcome.
Grab a Greek coffee (or whatever you’re drinking right now), get comfortable – and come along on the journey.
Kalimera from Arillas 😎
