Close to action when you want it and retreat to your private escape when you need it. A vintage styled and pleasant vibe has been created to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Katoi House was built in the 1960’s which is quite late considering most village homes were built 100's of years prior. This is why we find high ceilings and spacious rooms. Restorations were completed early 2021. We kept all original fittings and fixtures possible and created a comfortable stay with character and style. Once you enter the hand crafted wooden door, you can enjoy an open plan kitchen and lounge area. A highlight in the kitchen are the original Skyrian styled, hand sculptured shelves and wall plates. A traditional styled kitchen area with vintage fridge and microwave. A charming and elegant bedroom awaits you, decorated with soft colours and textures. A handmade wall tapestry is a highlight above the bed which adds to the traditional vibe in the home. An ‘ECOMAT’ mattress, high quality pillows and linen for an unforgettable nights sleep. There is a small outdoor area with a built in sitting bench at the entrance of the property. A perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee/tea or a glass of wine while at the same time, feeling a part of the neighbourhood as you are amongst the winding, cobbled streets. The bathroom is bright and large, designed to remind the guest of another time. It has an opening window, vintage styled sink and a large shower head to make your bathroom experience extra special.

I come from a Greek background, was born in Thessaloniki-Greece,and was brought up in Melbourne - Australia. met my husband-Kosta, over 30 years ago as a tourist on Skyros Island. After many years of living in Melbourne, in 2019 we made a life changing decision to return to the place that always held a piece of our heart. We craved the Skyrian lifestyle and yearned to get back to nature. We are animal lovers and created an Animal Kingdom at our home, which consists of 2 dogs - Bella and Victor. Two cats - Maro and Coco and a Skyrian Pony - Astero. They all live together on our residential property which is located in an area of the island named "Agalini"-translation-'Tranquility'. We have fruit trees,such as fig, lemon, pomegranate, plum, almond and different types of grape vines. We also grow our own vegetables, produce our own olive oil and are on a journey of a healthy well being. Preparing our properties as rentals was a team effort. Kostas' 30 year experience in the building industry was a massive contributor to the renovations. He has put his heart and soul into restoring the properties-maintaining original charm where possible, while including comforts of modern living. Kalliopi, my daughter was in charge of the Interior design including furniture and style of the house.
