I stayed at Marina’s Merovigli rental with friends in October 2022.
I had already stayed at the Gregor Myloi house and loved it. I needed a larger place as I was having friends join me.
Merovigli is lovingly restored with traditional style of the Cycladic islands. It is newly renovated and spotless.
We had everything we needed from linens and towels to blow dryer and kitchen utensils.
It is very specious and also had a large outdoor area where my friends and I did our morning yoga inside the circular area where they used to grind grains.
It is in Ano Meria away from the bustle of Chora which allowed us a lot of freedom to play our music and watch the stars in the night sky. We even saw the Milky Way !
Ano meria is about a 7 minute drive to Angali beach which is an easily accessed beach. We also did quite a bit of hiking to St. George, Ligaria, Ambeli and Livadaki beaches. They are remote and rugged and the perfect season for hiking.
I can’t say enough about Polixeni our host. I have stayed at her other location and she’s been such a gem.
She continued the same excellent service and attention at this locale and she picked up my friends at the port, helped them to rent a car and drove with them to Merovigli.
She is a lovely person full of life and vitality, she genuinely wants you to enjoy your stay and her hospitality is heartfelt.
If you enjoy nature and hiking but want to still be connected to a local seaside village like Angali you will thoroughly enjoy Merovigli.
I love all of Marina and Polixeni’s rentals.
Folegandros is a little diamond in the Aegean Sea and this house is a loving touch of Greek hospitality.
