Greek island houses for rent

2011-07-19T16:36:00.000-07:00

If you are thinking about renting a Greek island house in charming, picturesque surroundings, do take a look at my houses on the islands of Samos and Leros. I bought them up in 2004, and spend a lot of time doing them up until 2010 - this included a long sabbatical and many wheelings and dealings with Greek workmen.
The houses are situated in picturesque, traditional villages, never too far away from beaches, shops and tavernas...

My houses on Leros and Samos are built in the island village style - thick stone walls, wooden beams, 2 floors high. While renovating them, I have taken great care to respect and retain their character. They can be rented both during winter and summer. So if you want to experience a touch of Greek life in a real Greek home, have a look at what follows. Each house is presented in detail - descriptions, photos, practicalities. Just click on the links below...

ps: I can recommend combining Leros and Samos in one holiday. The islands are only 2 hours apart (by hydrofoil, it's a lovely 6-hour trip on the slow boat) and are distinctly different. Both islands have airports and aren't too difficult to reach from abroad. I'd be happy to provide you with any information you need.

Leros - Island house with sea view

My house on Leros is situated in a village full of charm, Platanos, in a quiet corner. The balcony provides you with a lovely sea view. Beaches, taverns and shops are all at walking distance. Renovated in 2005, it's got all provisions for a couple with 1 or 2 children.

The renovation of this charming village house was completed in June 2010. It's in Paleokastro - one of the best kept secrets of Samos!

Samos - Village house plus garden house

2010-12-17T15:07:00.000-08:00

My house with garden house in the colourful village of Ano-Vathy has had guests since Spring 2009, after a thorough renovation. In 2009 I bought a piece of adjacent land, and built a great deck on it - 40m2 additional living space with a beautiful sunset sea view! For max. 4 persons.

The house is situated on a quiet spot in the middle of a traditional village. It's also at a perfect location for those who love hiking: right behind the house, the lush hills of Samos invite you for some wonderful walks. You can find a baker, a playground and a handful of taverns and shops close by in the village, at a few hundred metres from the house.

Samos - My other house in Ano-Vathy

2010-10-16T08:45:00.000-07:00

In September 2011, I bought a traditional house in the village of Ano-Vathy, on Samos. It's small and cosy, but big enough to host 4 people.
In the winter of 2011/2012, some renovations are planned. From 1 April to 1 September 2012 , the house will be for rent. As it's the first time I rent it out, the prices are very favourable.
