Little house
attractively restored and charmingly decorated village houses offer you the opportunity to spend a relaxing and comfortable holiday in the peace and quiet of the traditional village of Volissos on the unspoilt island of Chios Greece.The "Stone Houses" in Greek, is a partnership between Michaelis, a local Greek builder, Patrick, an English carpenter who has lived in Volissos for the past ten years and our English friends. The houses have been renovated to a very high standard while keeping their traditional feel. The combination of Michaelis' building skills and local knowledge, together with Patrick's carpentry and his partner Maria's interior design expertise, have created a unique atmosphere in each house.
Description

About Volissos village
The village is two km from its small port of Limnia and the nearest beaches of Lefkathia and Limnos. Just a little further away is the six km long Managros beach. Apart from these which ever way you go up or down the coast there are numerous beaches to choose from making it always easy to find a secluded spot to enjoy the crystal waters of the Aegean.
Volissos has many tavernas to choose from either down at the harbour and beach or up in the village, offering you a wide choice of good, traditional Greek food. There are also two cafe-bars in the port where you can sip your Ouzo watching the fishing boats come and go while the sun slips below the horizon.
Though it is possible to walk to the beaches we recommend that you rent a car or a motorbike which we can arrange for you and which will be waiting at the airport or delivered to Volissos.
As you sit on your terrace enjoying the mountains slowly turning pink in the last rays of the sun we hope that you will appreciate why we think that Volissos and our houses will allow you to relax, unwind and slowly slip into its peaceful rhythm. This quite tranquility broken only by the occasional hooting of an owl or braying of a donkey.
