We stayed 4 people in the house. House was very clean, we felt like we were at our own place. The location and the house provides authentic local islander experience. It has unique scenery from every corner of the house with amazing 360 degree view from the great terrace (day&night). Expect more than the photographs. There are air conditioners on each storey of the building. We didn't need to use them, because the weather was so nice. The water from the tap is potable and unexpectedly beautiful when considering being on an island. You will need a vehicle to reach the house. At Ambelos' village center free Parking is available. You have to carry your stuff up to the house by stairs, but it worths to have this great experience. Host is extremely helpful and provides guidance on all topics. Additionally, don't miss the awesome traditional food in Ambelos Tavern.

Ampelos village was the most magnificent site I'd ever seen in Samos. It boasts a stunning sea view. I stayed there with my family for two nights. Before I arrived, Filippos sent me a brief video to help me find the house and the keys. We did not wait at all. He also gave recommendations for locations to visit, tavernas to dine, and the nice beaches. It was incredibly nice of him. The house was spotless and had everything it needed. Our neighbors were also incredibly thoughtful and kind people. They handed us some fruits from their garden. When we left, we even took photos with them. We had a family atmosphere and peace for three days. We intend to stay in Akri tou again on our next Samos vacation. Thank you Filippos...

Before making a reservation, I heard that the village road was quite twisting and required many stairs to reach the house. Ampelos is a mountain village, thus the road will be steep. I think one can climb the twisting road for 5 minutes to reach such a lovely view. One also have to climb stairs to get to the house, although it isn't as exhausting as it sounds. Even my three-year-old son climbed it without difficulty.

Location and the neighbours

It is not unliking but quite hill and some stairs.

Nice location, friendly and helpful staff, very clean

There is only one bathroom

Filippo is an excellent host with great attitude. The place is exceptional with the view and village atmosphere. You get a wonderful payback for each meter you climb:)

It is difficult to reach if you are not sporty enough. It is on a hilly road with stairs from the car parking lot. Not suitable for wheelchair. The drive can be tricky with sharp swings.
