About this villa rental
Celebrate your vacation in one of the most beautiful spots of Karpathos!
Who would not want to spend holidays in a place that seems to be made for the gods themselves?
In this place, on the Acropolis hill, directly adjacent to the (main) Pigadia town is a very complete,
super cozy and fully detached house. The house is furnished with great care and has a lovely terrace where you can enjoy the views and tranquility.
The view is truly phenomenal! On the one hand Pigadia, the port and the main beach, on the other hand, the untouched nature with hills and wooded area of Karpathos!
A few minutes walk are several small bays with beautiful beaches, in 5 minutes you it is more in the center of Pigadia and a few minutes large
busier, sandy beach.
You can drive through a dirt path, to come to the house. Quiet ride because often sunning themselves goats on the path!
This path is quite steep and therefore not suitable for people who have difficulty walking.
The clever design allows you to easily enjoy home of 90 m2 with 6 people. The living room is very tastefully and carefully furnished.
The open kitchen is fully equipped (coffee maker, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer). Separate toilet.
1 bedroom with a double bed and 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds. Luxurious bathroom with second toilet. The whole house has air conditioning and heating.
Enjoy all day sun on the beautiful, partially covered terrace of the house.
This house is not only the perfect place to spend your summer vacation. Even in winter is wonderful. Daytime temperatures can be very pleasant.
In the evening you can enjoy in front of the fireplace!

This is one of our favourite rental accommodations of all our travels. Unbeatable location, so fun to walk down the trail in the evening, past goats, sheep and two churches just below. High quality fixtures and bedding, very effective air conditioning in every room. And super friendly hosts, who made it very easy for us to check in. The pictures tell the story about the view and Villa interior.

A fantastic house with absolutely stunning views! From the ocean to Pigadia and 360 degrees around.The house was really lovely, very clean and stylishly decorated, and with traditional kapathian beds. Individual air conditioning in every bedroom and the living room was a huge plus in 30-32 degrees celsius. Our only concern was that there was no fence in front of the cliff, just one or two meters in front of the outside sitting area. Also, we didn't do the drive up to the house when it was dark (there was no curbstones along the steep part). But we had a wonderful vacation, and would definitely stay at the house again.

Our second stay surpassed our first. We planned our six weeks in the Mediterranean around availability of this property.
We find Pigadia offers us the best location for exploring Karpathos. We love the walk up the hill, especially if we’ve had dinner. We did lots of walking generally in the island, as well as lazing on beaches.
Having all the facilities you can imagine made our stay PERFECT!
You cannnot fault the hosts for their communication and welcome.

Beautiful, comfortable house on top of an idyllic town. We felt at home at once. Just a small stroll down a dirt road for a morning swim, or through small streets to get to the town beach. We stayed for one week, and had one week at a hotel before going back to Suzannes house now for 2 weeks. The whole family said they are so happy we are lesing the hotel and going back to the house, since this was the absolutely best place to stay!

Traumhaus, traumhafte Lokalisation
Das alleinstehende sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Haus liegt oberhalb der Stadt mit wunderbarem Blick auf die Stadt und den Hafen. Die Bilder können nicht wiedergeben, wie schön es ist, morgens mit Blick auf das Wasser und die umliegenden Berge draußen zu frühstücken. Zu Fuß ist man in etwa 10 Minuten in der Stadt, wo es ein reichhaltiges Angebot an Lebensmitteln und Restaurants gibt. Suzanne ist eine sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Es fiel uns schwer Karpathos und das Haus wieder zu verlassen. Wenn wir könnten, würden wir 6 Sterne vergeben!

All five stars for Suzanne's place!
Ideal location of the house combines proximity to the town and tranquility.
Holiday at Suzanne's place was really a very, very good choice. We spent there wonderful almost three weeks and we will definitely visit Karpathos and this house again!
The house is a perfect place, with beautiful views at the town and/or the sea and offers everything one needs with lots of space for clothes and other belongings
Suzanne is a welcoming, attentive host and Her lovely house is a special place, definitely worth visiting, once you stay you will love it.
Highly recommend!

Suzanne made everything wonderful for us. Very helpful, very reactive. Again, perfect. We will definitely be back in Suzanne's house !

Excellent location
I can confirm what many others have already stated: The view from this very nice villa is outstanding. The location is very quiet and you have basically no neighbours, yet you can walk downtown on a small footpath within 10 minutes. For our way uphill after dinner at night we found a headlight helpful because part of the footpath is not illuminated at night, but if you do not have a headlight your smartphone's pocket lamp function will do the job.
Finally, Suzanne is a great host.
By the way, we went there despite the COVID-10 crisis. People in Greece are very disciplined in terms of distance keeping and using mouth-and-nose covers. The risk of catching that disease there is certainly much lower than in most other countries (including the country in which we live!).

wundervolle Tage
Die Aussicht ist wirklich ganz toll!
Was uns besonders gut gefallen hat ist die Privatsphäre. Das Haus liegt ruhig und doch nicht so weit weg vom Leben der "Stadt".
Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es gibt an jedem Fenster gute Fliegengitter, Mücken gab es aber eigentlich kaum welche, höchsten ganz spät abends mal eine.
Es weht immer ein Wind, wird also nie zu heiß und falls doch, in jedem Raum ist eine Klimaanlage.
Suzanne ist eine sehr bemühte Gastgeberin und hilft bei Fragen.
Vielen Dank für die schöne Atmosphäre!

Wunderschönes Haus – perfekte Lage
Das Haus ist wunderschön – geräumig und stilvoll. Die Lage ist perfekt. In weniger als 10 Minuten Fußmarsch ist man unten im Zentrum von Pigadia mit all seinen Restaurants und Geschäften und doch ist es oben im Haus wunderbar ruhig. Der Ausblick ist traumhaft – hinunter auf die Stadt und hinaus aufs weite Meer.
Suzanne ist eine tolle Gastgeberin – sehr nett und äußerst hilfsbereit.
Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen und freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal.
Danke Suzanne.

Sensational. Kind and Helpful. So much to do.
What can I say, staying at the Acropolis and being helped by Suzanne was the highlight of our visit. From beginning to end we felt welcomed to the island and so set up for an enjoyable holiday.
First and foremost THE VIEWS!! Nothing is better and we could see ‘Our Place’ from far up in the hills above Pigadia. It is that prominent.
At the end of our visit I totally mucked up our ferry departure (the 24 hour ferry clock got me!) Suzanne was there to offer advice and practical support. Not only that but so many other snippets and acts of generosity by her, well beyond what you will get in a big city, helped make our stay so memorable. And the house is set up to a highly professional standard.
The place is great but also Karpathos is great. Fabulous food and 100 beaches - which are pristine!!!!! There are many tour boat and diving etc companies able to add excitement. One more thing. If you get tooted (blissing the car horn)’in Paris it’s because the driver is cross. If you get tooted in Karpathos it is because either you were courteous and waited while another driver passed by. Or it is nothing to do with you at all and just a Karpathean driver tooting a friend. So friendly, so kind, such great food and such FABULOUS beaches.

Wunderschönes und gepflegtes Haus ! Man fühlte sich sofort wohl dort. Einfach toll ! Unvergleichlich
Wir waren September 2018 in der Villa Acropolis. Diese Aussicht rund um das Haus....gigantisch !! So toll.
Wir haben uns super erholt hier. Die Villa ist liebevoll eingerichtet und es fehlte an nichts. Wir werden sicher nochmal wieder kommen. Die Vermieterin Suzanne und ihr Mann sind sehr sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Wir haben da Urlaub gemacht, wo die Götter Urlaub machen....
Gerne wieder !!

Perfekter Urlaub, genau nach unseren Wünschen!!
Die Lage des Hauses ist noch schöner wie auf den dargestellten Bildern!
Man kann seinen Urlaub in einen Tip top sauberen Haus genießen, das sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet ist!! Man kann sich rund um Haus für Wind oder nicht Wind entscheiden. Aussicht auf Stadt, Berge oder Meer. Die Gastgeberin Suzanne und ihre Familie sind äußerst sympathisch und unkompliziert!!
Es ist die Stadt über einen Pfad in 8 min zu Fuß zu erreichen, um die Insel zu erkunden haben wir uns ein Motorrad ausgeliehen.
Danke liebe Suzanne, du wirst uns bestimmt wiedersehen!!!

Die traumhafte Lage, eine anprechende Einrichtung, sehr gute Betten, und viele liebevolle Details machen den Reiz dieses Hauses aus. Hereinkommen und wohlfühlen, so war es jedenfalls bei meinem Mann und mir. Auch wenn der Wind mal ums Haus pfeift, auf der vorderen Terasse sitzt man jederzeit in angenehmer Windstille. Und egal wohin man blickt, überall tolle Aussichten. Dazu noch eine traumhafte Ruhe, einfach perfekt!

PIÙ BELLA CASA NON C'E'....!
Difficile trovare gli aggettivi per descrivere questa casa in poche parole: accogliente, calda, greca. E difficile descrivere la location e la vista che spazia a 360 gradi:davvero uniche!
Ben arredata, completa di tutte le comodità e con tanti spazi esterni da godere in qualsisi ora della giornata, ci ha fatto sentire, per una settimana, come i re di Pigadia! Abbarbicata sul costone roccioso che domina il paese, ti resta nel cuore così come il sorriso di Suzanne, stupenda padrona di casa!
Eros Ramazzotti avrebbe detto "Più bella casa non c'è, più bella casa di te, unica come sei, grazie di esistere!!!"

Vista mozzafiato
La villetta di Suzanne si trova sull'acropoli di Pigadia e gode di una vista bellissima sulla baia.
Indimenticabili le colazioni e le cene con la vista che spaziava del mare alle montagne dell'isola di Karpathos. La casa è anche comoda e ben arredata, ideale anche per lunghi soggiorni, essendo grande e dotata di ogni comfort. Suzanne è stata puntuale, disponibile e gentilissima.

Excellente location ,à refaire
La maison de Suzannah est un havre de paix et nous y avons passé un excellent séjour.
Un peu éloignée de Pigadia qui est une ville très dense et chaude mais pas trop pour les courses et les restaurants.
De très bon gout ,bien entretenue et surtout calme,la cuisine est bien équipée,la propreté est impeccable,le linge tres largement fourni.Ce qui nous a manqué:un grille pain et un book pour les adresses,des détails...Suzannah est tres pro et cordiale.
C' est vraiment ce que nous recherchons quand nous partons.
Merci encore!

Suzanne was a wonderful host. The villa was fantastic and the description on the listing was as accurate as can be. Everything was exactly as advertised, The place was immaculate. There were plenty of fresh towels and sheets, even white bathrobes....we all felt like in a classy SPA!!!! Within 2 real minutes radius by car, since the villa is on the top of a hill overlooking Pigadia and the harbor, there are supermarkets, tobacconists, fresh fruit sellers, banks, pharmacies, souvenir shops as well as a myriad of restaurants, tavernas and cafeterias. The interiors and the furniture are simple and comfortable while the outdoor space seems to be custom tailored: two panoramic terraces where, according to sun rotation, one can enjoy shade and sun. For 15 days no-one of us suffered from sweat thanks to a particular wind that almost constantly blows on the island. We never used the air conditioning although the external temperature was 33-34 degrees and we never used mosquito repellent. THERE ARE NO MOSQUITOS!!!! Fantastic.More, an external water hose in the garden assured amusing showers!!! You could not ask for a better host or a better place!! Thanks Suzanne. Id recommend your villa to young and elder people, without or with children, romantic and audacious. Hope to meet you again.Roberta & Luc & Luigi & Renata

Tolles Haus!
Wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 Jungs 11, 17) haben Anfang Juli 2015 in der Villa Akropolis Urlaub gemacht. Das Haus ist toll, nett eingerichtet, mit wirklich allem was man braucht und sich wünscht. Am meisten haben wir die vielen schönen Sitzplätze rund ums Haus mit dem einzigartigen Blick auf die Stadt und das Meer genossen. Die Insel ist schön und das Urlaubsleben entspannt und unaufgeregt. Es gibt in fußläufiger Entfernung etwas städtisches Leben mit Restaurants, Cafés und genügend Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Berge, Dörfer und Strände, sind mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen.
Viele Grüße an Suzanne, auf das noch viele Gäste die Zeit in eurem Haus so genießen wie wir!

Just perfect.We (5 adults 3 kids age 7 and 9) stayed at Villa Acropolis for 1 week we enjoyed every single moment. The property is nestled in a very quiet and lovely corner on the hilltop facing down the Pigadia Harbor. The view is amazing and changing along the day. It is much better than the pictures on the website!!!The town is just downhill (you can even walk and reach the main tourist drag within few minutes), making access to restaurants, bars and shopping very easy, however the home is very quiet and you have a nice sense of seclusion and privacy. The home is very comfortable, with plenty of enjoyable outdoor space with many shadow areas for outdoor activities. It is provided with everything you might need, and anything is quite new or well maintained. You will need a car to get access to good beaches, but the best beaches of the east coast including the amazing Kira Panagia and Apella are an easy drive from home.The owners were extremely friendly and did their best to make ourselves comfortable. The home is intended for 6 people but they provided us extra bed and changed the layout of the sleeping rooms to accommodate our slightly bigger party. Well it was very nice. We loved it and we are sure that we will return one day.
