About this house rental

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.

Dimitri and the Villa Petri provide the loveliest of holidays in Greece. The property is perched high on a hill overlooking the small harbor of Petra with sweeping views of the surrounding hills. One wakes to the sounds of sheep bells and falls to sleep with the unusual scops owl. In spring from the villa, beautiful trails blanketed with wildflowers can be reached on foot or a short distance by car. Wonderful tavernas abound in Petra, and close by the villa, an excellent and friendly taverna is minutes away, set even higher than the villa. It is especially picturesque at sunset. The villa offers stunning sunsets and bright morning light as well. We loved the house with its many windows, a balcony upstairs, and a capacious terrace with many possibilities to enjoy the light at different times of the day. Olive and fig trees tumble down the slopes, and one can hear the Eurasian blackbird, song sparrows, and the chaffinch especially. The kitchen is stocked with pots and pans, and a lucky guest might be the beneficiary of the best eggs. A comfortable bed with fine linens and an excellent shower add to the comfort. Best of all are Dimitris and his wife Georgia, whose hospitality made our stay exceptional. One arrives a stranger and departs with new friends. Dimitris has much knowledge about the island and can suggest many day trips, all easily accessible from Petri. As well, access to the house is easy. We finished our holiday with precious memories of the villa and our hosts.

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!

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!

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 youll need, they are there for help. Thanks to Dimitri and Giorgina.
