About this property

Villa Petri - A beautiful traditional house with sea views and stunning sunsets

In the most enchanting part of Lesvos, overlooking the seaside village of Petra, lies the peaceful hillside village of Petri, a charming retreat surrounded by walnut trees and breathtaking views. Time seems to slow down here, offering a true escape into nature and tranquility.

At the edge of the village, along a private road, you’ll find a beautiful, sunlit traditional house, the perfect place to relax and watch unforgettable sunsets over the Aegean Sea.

A house that welcomes you
Thoughtfully designed across two levels, the house comfortably hosts up to six guests.
• The upper floor features three charming bedrooms with wooden floors, large windows, and a balcony with sea views, all tastefully furnished to offer comfort, warmth, and relaxation.
• The ground floor, built entirely of natural stone, includes a spacious living room with a traditional stone fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and a tranquil reading room, perfect for quiet moments and relaxation.

Outside, a spacious balcony, a flower-filled garden, and a private backyard with walnut, almond, apple, and quince trees create a stunning setting with panoramic sea views, the perfect backdrop for al fresco dining, a peaceful morning coffee, or romantic dinners beneath the stars, all accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature.

Location highlights:
• Just 5 minutes by car or a 30-minute scenic walk to Petra, known for its sandy beach, colourful tavernas, lively bars, and charming restaurants
• Don’t miss the 18th-century Panagia Glykofilousa church, perched atop Petra’s iconic monolith, a must-see reached by climbing 114 stone-carved steps

Nature lovers welcome!
Petri is a peaceful haven surrounded by wildlife and natural beauty. Spot rare birds, colourful butterflies, and small woodland creatures like squirrels, martens, turtles, and hedgehogs. Whether you're taking photos, exploring, or just enjoying the birdsong, nature is all around you, making your stay truly special.

Villa Petri: Where serene surroundings meet Greek hospitality

The moment we saw Villa Petri, we knew we picked the perfect spot. From panoramic sea views and lush foliage outside to tasteful decor and spotlessly clean surroundings inside, the villa lives up to its billing and more. Beyond all that, the hosts, Dimitris and Georgia, couldn’t have been more welcoming, gracious and accessible. Even before we booked the place, Dimitris promptly addressed all our questions and concerns. These hosts embody the reason why Greeks are known for their hospitality. If you’re considering a stay on Lesvos, don’t look any further than Villa Petri. I promise, you won’t regret it!

In every way this was such a great place!

Dimitris and Georgias place was the perfect fit for us. It is very comfortable ,super clean and very relaxing serene. The beds comfy and Dimitris will go the extra mile to accommodate you (like when he set up an extra bed when we had an additional guest). The view is to die for, you are behind and above Petra village which allows you to gaze far into the horizon. The serenity and calmness almost healing. We rented a car and headed every day to different beaches and villages. Gréât adventures that Dimitris helped us plan! Petra, Molivos, Ag. Isidoros and Sigri were our favorites! Gréât beaches, great restaurants amazing beautiful island! You definitely need a car, a jeep of some sort. The house has all the amenities you might need and more! We loved it so much we are for sure coming back! Two weeks was not enough!

Prachtig groot, schoon, compleet verzorgd huis met een grote tuin

Wij kwamen om vogels, vlinders, insecten, zoogdieren en reptielen te vinden. Rondom het huis hebben we veel kunnen waarnemen, vastleggen en registreren. Ook in de omgeving was er veel gezien. Het huis en de tuin was een kado en de gastheer was zeer behulpzaam. Voor fotografen een prachtige plek om te verblijven en van hieruit op excursie / expeditie te gaan. De tuin en geen nabije buren gaf vrijheid om ook in de nacht op onderzoek uit te gaan, nachtvlinders vast te leggen etc.. Echt een aanrader met uitzicht op de zee.

A lovely experience

This was a dream visit to Lesvos. The house itself is beautifully situated above Petra in a quiet village with exquisite views of the sea and the gentle sound of goats' bells for company. It has everything you need and was sparklingly clean. It's a place where you can relax into a slower pace of life. We loved exploring Lesvos and Dimitris had a multitude of recommendations for fine beaches, scenes of natural beauty, tavernas and restaurants. He and Georgia have a deep love of the island and were keen to share that with us. They are also artists. Georgia's beautiful ceramics and Dimitris's Platonic solids were a revelation - truly beautiful. They were very generous with their time, showing us their process of making in their studio behind the house and even giving us an introduction to ceramics. Gifted artists and warm hosts - we couldn't ask for more. Their enthusiasm is inspiring. Due to travel restrictions we nearly didn't make the trip; we're so glad that we were able to. We stayed for three weeks and could have stayed for a lot longer. Thank you Georgia and Dimitris!

Peaceful spot with beautiful views

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. Dimitris, the host, was very friendly and helpful. This is the place to go if you want peace and quiet and to get away from it all. The house itself is down a long, narrow dirt track, which we had a little trouble finding! The views are spectacular and Petri is a very pretty, tiny hamlet, not too remote though because Petra with shops, restaurants and beaches is just a very short drive away.

Very hospitable and very friendly. Dimitri is the man.

Very nice setting, beatiful views of Petra. House has everything you need except dishwasher. Traditional greek house. A little secluded but good place to relax. Owners live next door so anything you'll need, they are there for help. Thanks to Dimitri and Giorgina.

Country elegance

The villa is charming! Just remote enough but convenient to the local Taverna. The bed linens are crisp and the bed is firm and comfortable. The windows sparkle, the floors are gleaming and the furnishings are in good taste. Our hosts were a delight. The beaches of Petra are an easy drive down the hill.

Wonderful villa, great location, perfect place!

Two families rented this lovely house for six days in July. From our first impression to our last moments at the house we didn't stop congratulating ourselves for finding such a wonderful place in such a perfect location. The hosts are very friendly and gracious. They joined us for some music, food and ouzo, and we had a blast. They are very talented potters, and make and sell very lovely pottery from their shop next door. The house is gorgeous and very well equiped, with AC, very comfortable beds, and a spectacular view. It is on a hill in the tiny village of Petri, just a couple kilometers from Petra, with its great beach and waterfront tavernas. And Molyvos is just a couple minutes drive. We also did day trips to Eressos, the petrified forest. There's also a hot springs right on the beach just past Molyvos. We loved this place and couldn't recommend it more highly.
