The houses are built with traditional techniques, and with stones from the surrounding fields, trying to achieve as little disturbance to the landscape as possible - making the houses 'grow' out of the soil.
The solid stone walls provide a pleasant indoor climate, even during the burning summer days - but the houses are equipped with air-condition as well, just in case.

About us:
We are a greek/danish family - Takis, Lisbet, Lea and Antonis - living and working on Folegandros for the last 25 years.
In the summer we are running a garden-restaurant, and renting the houses, in the winter Takis is playing bouzouki, the kids are studying in Denmark, and Lisbet is practicing her original profession - making ceramics - partly for use in the restaurant, and partly for selling during the summer.
We really love our island and the life here - it is simple, quiet, healthy - and we would like to give you the opportunity to get to love it as well!
About the island:
Folegandros is a tiny island in the south cyclades.
