The house is a grand home of immense proportions beautifully restored to its original character. Every room was well equipped offering wonderful views from each window. The terrace was breathtaking with 180 degree views of the whole of the Vathi Bay and town. We could not have asked for more. Within a few steps from the main town, the convenience was great. Also I want to thank John who came to greet us at the port and bring us to our car and to the home. He was a gentleman even providing us a few groceries items in the house to make a head start. My family and I had a wonderful stay and we will definitely be considering taking it up again.

We rented this house for 11 months.

Dear Steven We had a wonderful week staying in your house in Samos. The town itself provided the perfect base to explore Vathy and some of the surrounding areas. Loved being able to buy fresh local produce from the nearby market, eggs and fruit for breakfast. We had some super meals out in the town which were very memorable. The island is totally genuine, friendly and safe. As for the house, it was a such a quiet and restful place to stay with all the comforts of home which you rarely find with holiday rents. So much has been considered for the benefit of those staying there. It is a beautiful house, really spacious, comfortable and clean with the character and original features of a period house which we truly appreciate. The roof terrace was superb - the views !The location was so convenient for the cafe's, supermarket, restaurants, museum ( which was excellent) and shops. We had wonderful weather with was an added bonus. We would loved to return to Samos another time and hire your house again if it were available. Thank you so much.

This is a beautiful house in a good location in Vathy close to shops and restaurants and well set up for self catering. All the bedrooms were lovely with views, a joy to stay in. Lots of space to chill out in including the fabulous roof patio overlooking the town....great for sun worshipers. The owner was fantastic and couldn't do enough for us from the first contact 6 months before....he made our stay very easy. We hired a car and saw quite a lot of Samos and used the owner's crib sheet to chose towns and restaurants to visit very successfully. The car allowed us to spend our days exploring and sunning and swimming at beaches a short drive from town. I would certainly recommend this house for a great stay on Samos. If this house is unavailable the owner has another house out of town with just as much loving attention given to it. We were very lucky to find this house and its very helpful owner.

My sisters and I were welcomed at Samos Airport by John our Property Manager who organised our baggage and escorted our Taxi into Vathis - an unexpected service but most appreciated. Our first impression of our magnificent home for the next 2 weeks was of complete awe and stepping inside the ornate front doors did not disappoint. The home which has been restored in all its former glory is very well appointed with every luxury at your fingertips. From the kitchen(a woman's delight) to the laundry through to the bedrooms and beautifully renovated bathroom - my favourite amenity being the immense shower recess. Most importantly the beds were very comfortable with quality linen and towelling. But for us the "Icing on the Cake" was the Rooftop Entertaining Deck partly covered with comfortable lounges and dining setting and equipped with kitchenette and toilet. We spent many a balmy evening sipping champagne and cocktails admiring the stunning views across the town and Samos Bay up into the mountains and experiencing the beautiful sunsets. Situated in a Pedestrian only area a short stroll down the steps leads you through cobbled streets and into the town centre with unique tavernas and shops tucked away in every lane-way a shopper's delight! Many a morning was spent in the town square overlooking the Bay sipping coffee and planning our day.. the owner provided a great synopsis of the Island which guided us to the best attractions and fabulous Tavernas from secluded beachfronts up into the mountains. The authentic Greek food is to die for and very cheap as are the local wines which are free of preservatives. Samos is a beautiful green island with secluded beaches, lush rain forests and intriguing villages. The churches and Monastrys are well worth visiting. Ferries leave daily from Samos to Turkey and the other Islands. The hospitality of the Greek people on Samos has left a lasting impression. They are very warm and friendly and made our stay so much more pleasurable. We are returning next year and can’t wait to return to our “Home away from Home” with all it’s old world charm and warmth so much more than just a holiday house.

From being picked up at the airport by John, our wonderful Customer Service Property Manager our holiday in Vathi was made memorable by us staying in this beautiful home. There were panoramic views of the harbour from the bedroom floors and a spectacular rooftop entertainment area watching the beautiful sunset with a cocktail in hand. It was quiet yet situated right next to the heart of Vathi with many restaurants and coffee shops. Our favorite Restaurant being THE STEPS. The home had every facility imaginable and has been tastefully and beautifully restored. Samos is a big beautiful green Island, so by hiring a car with ample parking close by we able to explore the beautiful mountains and amazing beaches. It was all the Website claimed and much more

Olimme viiden aikuisen ystäväni kanssa viettämässä lomaviikkoa syntympäivien merkeissä. Jännityksellä odotimme mitä netin kautta vuokraamamme asunto toisi tullessaan. Olimme maksaneet varausmaksun ja loput vuokrasummasta olimme sopineet maksavamme perillä. Vastassamme pitäisi olla omistajan lanko. Lanko oli vastassa, kunhan itse ensin löysimme sovittuun paikkaan ;) Hän kuljetti autollaan osan meistä perille, loput tulivat taksilla perässä. Hän esitteli huoneiston ja kertoi puhelinnumeronsa. Hän olisi tavoitettavissa 24/7, jos meille tulisi ongelmia tai kysyttävää. Ja hän kirjoitti pyytämättä kuitin vuokranmaksusta. Asunto sijaitsi aivan Samoksen kaupungin kesustassa, rannan/sataman lähellä. Asunto oli aivan loistava! Alakerrassa viihtyisä olohuone, josta löytyi mm. Samoksen esitteitä ja karttoja eri kielillä, makuuhuone parisängyllä, keittiö, ruokailutila ja wc pyykinpesukoneen kera. Toisessa kerroksessa oli kaksi makuuhuonetta parivuoteilla, yksi pienempi makuuhuone (esim. kahdelle lapselle) ja kylpyHUONE. Kolmannessa kerroksessa oli wc, talon toinen jääkaappi ja aivan mahtavan kokoinen, viihtyisä kattopatio mielettömän upealla näköalalla. Patiolla söimme aamiaisen, vietimme halutessamme aikaa, söimme muutamana iltana illallisen ja vietimme joka ilta aikaa istuen ja jutellen yömyöhään. Sadekaan ei olisi haitannut patiolla oloa, sillä se oli osaksi katettu. Ilmat olivat tämän lokakuun ensimmäisen viikon ajan loistavat. Lämpötila päivällä oli noin 30 astetta, eikä se yölläkään laskenut alle 22 asteen. Itse Samoksen saari oli mukavan kokoinen, mutta silti vaihteleva. Luonto oli toisella puolella saarta rehevää ja vehreää ja toisella puolella kuivaa ja kitukasvuista. Yhden päivän vietimme rannalla Karlovasissa, jonne menimme paikallisbussilla. Kolme päivää kiertelimme saarta ja sen rantoja ja vuoristoja skootterien selässä. Serpentiinitiet ja teiden kivisyys oli minulle vähän matkustaneelle kokemus. Yhden päivän vietimme Turkissa Kusadasissa, jonne lauttamatka kesti 1,5 tuntia. Tuliaisia ajatellen itse Samoksen kaupunki ei ollut hyvä kohde, vaan niitä löytyi parhaiten Pythagoraan kaupungista ja Turkin puolelta. Pythagoraan luolat saaren lounaisosassa ja vesiputoukset saaren luoteisosassa olivat todella näkemisen arvoisia. Myös lasten kanssa voisin kuvitella matkustavani turvallisen tuntuiselle saarelle. Asunnon omistaja kertoi omistavansa asunnon myös Australiassa, jossa hän itse asuu. Suuntaisimmekohan matkamme sinne seuraavaksi..?

Wir hatten eine super Zeit in dem Haus von Steven. Es ist alles so wie es auf den Fotos zusehen ist. Sehr sauber und gepflegt!Die Terrasse ist wohl der meistfrequentierte Platz im Haus gewesen :)...zu Recht. WC und Kühlschrank auf der Terrassenebene was wirklich gut ist wenn man abends bei einem Wein oder Bier auf der Terrasse chillt. IPod dockingstation ebenfalls vorhanden. Auto oder Moped sollte man sich auf jedenfall mieten um die Insel und seine Strände zu erkunden. Parkplätze gibt es genügend in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder nach Samos und würden auch wieder das Haus von Steven mieten. Dominik,Anja,Susanne und Roland

This home was an ideal base for our 10 day stay in Samos. The descriptions and photos were everything and more than we were expecting. Great location, well renovated with traditional features retained in a pedestrian only area very close to the town square. Parking was not a problem. We were an extended family of 6 which included teenagers and we all loved it. The owners provided us with very good local information and they were very prompt with communications.

Wir haben einen tollen Urlaub in dem Stadthaus von Jodie und Steve verbracht. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, freundlich, zuvorkommen und hilfsbereit. Man erhält eine Mappe mit Infos über das Haus, die Insel, die Kultur, Restaurants etc., die sehr hilfreich in der Urlaubsgestaltung sind. Die An- und Abreise kann - sofern es sich nicht mit anderen Buchungen kreuzt - flexiblen gestaltet werden. Die Beschreibung des Hauses stimmt exakt und ist nicht übertrieben. Das Haus bietet wirklich einen Luxus, der kaum noch einmal zu finden sein wird auf Samos. Die Lage mitten in der Stadt ist einfach toll, in einer Minute ist man in der Fußgängerzone und in ca. 3-5 Minuten am Hafen bzw. bei den Restaurants. Ein Auto wird dennoch empfohlen, denn um was von der Insel sehen zu können, sollte man mobil sein.

We loved this house. It has a wonderful feel, great amenities and is bright and airy as described in the description. Being located close to the town square, makes one feel part of the community. It was well suited to our group of 5 with bedrooms located on 2 levels, a formal living room, separate dining room and great rooftop area with comfortable lounges, allowing us personal space. Sundowners on the rooftop were enjoyed every evening with stunning sunsets over the town and harbour with the Mediterranean in the background, there is even a fridge on the rooftop. The house has recently been tastefully restored with all the rooms freshly painted. The kitchen has all the equipment that is need to whip up some gourmet Greek food. There is a modern flat screen TV that wasn’t used much as there is always so much to see and do. The owners, Jodie and Steve were very accommodating and helpful. Everything was organised with the keys being available on our arrival with heaps of useful information about the island, the restaurants, the town and people. We would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a break from the usual busy tourist locations. We felt that we became part of the local town community with the school one block away, the town square an easy walk through pedestrian lanes where the local people socialise drinking coffee in the evenings, a fresh food market open every weekday and the fishing jetty that sells fresh fish within 5 minutes walk. We cooked our own meals sometimes; however the local restaurants within easy walking distance on the waterfront and in the pedestrian lane ways all served great fresh Greek cuisine. We tried in vain to visit the local museum; it was always closed even when it was supposed to be open during the advertised time. In order to experience the whole island, it is definitely worth hiring a car for a few days to visit places like Pythagorio and the tunnels also The Temple of Hera at Ireon. Manolates is a wonderful mountain village. Kokkari is a busy tourist beachside town with a great beach and we would highly recommend the whole grilled fish at Meltemi Restaurant. It is a great stepping off point to visit Ephesus in Turkey, which is well worth the visit.
