Ta Petrina's Little House, situated at the top of the village, with stunning views to both the mountains and the Aegean Sea, is on two levels. It has been completely renovated while keeping the feel of an old stone village house. LITTLE HOUSE is comfortable, safe for children and well equipped. An ideal place to unwind and escape your daily routine.
If you are looking for a sterile modern resort hotel room with power showers, TV and the like, then this is not for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a charming, 200 year old stone built house with a touch of romance, filled with artefacts, books and memories of the past, then this house just could be it! Of course the house has wifi, air-conditioning and the essential amenities you need to make your stay enjoyable.
The ground floor consists of a picturesque double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a large open area with a built in sofa/bed. From here the staircase leads up to the next level. The bedroom has air-conditioning, fan and a mosquito net. The top floor of the house is a large living room/kitchen which leads out onto the terrace with its stunning views to the Aegean Sea and the mountains. The kitchen has a small cooker, fridge, kettle, coffee maker, toaster as well as everything you need to cook at home if you so wish. The room has a ceiling fan. Bedding and towels, including towels for the beach are provided. A baby cot and high chair can be supplied.
The LITTLE HOUSE can also be an ideal retreat for remote workers, digital nomads or writers; the price for longer rentals is negotiable.
You can park a car quite close to the house free of charge. From the LITTLE HOUSE it is a lovely walk (10 min) to the centre of the village where you will find a choice of tavernas, cafes, and several shops.
The house is fully licensed by the GTO (Greek Tourist Organisation).
Volissos is built on a hill nestling underneath a Genoese castle and looks out south across the blue waters of the Aegean. As you sit on your terrace enjoying the mountains slowly turning pink in the last rays of the sun, or as you wander around the village as it winds down from the castle, you quickly realize that Volissos is still very much a traditional village. It is 2 km from the little harbour/marina of Limnia and the nearest beaches of Lefkathia and Limnos, both of which have a beach bar (free use of umbrellas and sun loungers). Just a little further away is the 6 km long Managros beach, where it is always easy to find a quiet spot to enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Aegean. Apart from these, whichever way you go up or down the coast, there are numerous beaches to choose from. Volissos lies on the north west coast of the island of Chios, 40 km from the main town, port and airport.
The village has two mini markets, a butcher, a baker and even a candle maker. A green grocer comes around three times a week selling produce out of the back of his pickup though you can find fruit and vegetables in the local shops. Also local fishermen come around with the catch of the day. There is a Pharmacy, Post Office, Police Station and ATM machine. Volissos has a small clinic with a doctor always available 24/7.
I can help to arrange car/jeep/scooter or a bicycle rental on request. A bus service runs 3 times a week between Volissos and Chios town.
Chiots are passionate and live life to the fullest, even at difficult times. The result is an island seemingly riddled with challenges, yet full of people loving life. Chios is still one of the most unspoiled islands in Greece.
I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised by Chios and the village of Volissos!
