Top Hotels Near Panagia Glykofilousa in Lesvos from NZ$64

"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."
