Photos cannot do justice to the absolutely spectacular views and overall sense of peace and serenity you will find at Stephania’s home. Inside it is spacious yet cozy. The kitchen is well-equipped if cooking is your thing, and there is a large table for eating together or playing games. The two bedrooms are very comfortable (and we were thrilled to have two bathrooms for our group!) Outside there are aromatic herb gardens planted with lavender, camomile, rosemary… beautiful stone pathways and patios and the views! The views are simply epic. Climb the stairs to the rooftop and you will enjoy 360 degree views of Folegandros and the sea and the islands beyond. It’s breathtaking.
The house is located conveniently just 10 minutes or so outside of the Chora, so it’s very easy to drive in for dinner and shopping. But there is also great dining right at the top of the street - at the Under the Palm Tree cafe, Irene’s restaurant, and others. For a very small island, Folegandros is surprisingly chock full of restaurants, boutiques, beaches, hiking trails, really anything you could wish for. It was the highlight of our visit to Greece, and my only regret is not staying longer!
