Welcome home, to Hotel Karydia - your private guesthouse experience.

Our goal is to create an environment that ignites your creativity while inviting you to slow down. Indulge in a comfortable and memorable stay that leaves you well rested, clear-headed and reenergized.

Stepping outside the doors of Hotel Karydia means embarking on an enriching journey through charming boutiques, art galleries, and exceptional dining, promising every guest a profound experience in the fine art of living beautifully.

Whether you’re looking to volunteer at a vineyard harvest, get creative at an art workshop, feed your senses with live music in the park, or reconnect with nature by hiking, cycling, canoeing or fishing 800km of shoreline, The County has something for everyone.

Named ‘the gastronomic Capital of Ontario’ and one of Canada’s most exciting wedding destinations, there’s also creative influence everywhere you turn in The County, with unique artist creations, modern galleries and rustic barn studios.

Though the vibrant life of Picton’s streets and the allure of its natural surroundings are just steps away, the inviting, artistic confines of Hotel Karydia might just tempt you to linger indoors.

From bespoke textiles inspired by vineyard rows to custom walnut contours that echo the landscape’s natural beauty, the decor harmoniously blends modern interpretations of classic styles with artistic touches that encourage relaxation and creative thought.

The suites themselves are havens of luxury and tranquility. Premium robes and deluxe bedding beckon guests to relax in comfort, while the living room features a contemporary fireplace, spiral library and designer sofa. You’ll feel a world away, yet right at home.

Whether you choose to explore the surrounding beauty of The County or indulge in the cozy luxury of your suite, Hotel Karydia promises an escape that blends the art of leisure with the pleasure of discovery.

You'll have full, private access to the entire property, including 3 suites, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, expanded backyard and a 3 car driveway.

Our office is around the corner on Main Street and our team is happy to assist as needed, day or night.
