Anthousa Houses

Dodecanese


Three gorgeous traditional homes have been renovated in stunning style. Fine accents, including flagstone floors, jute rugs and polished concrete, give these a designer edge like no other, and the shabby chic furniture fills spacious areas. Quirky nooks and crannies within the sides of rock accommodate a kitchen and bathroom. The bungalows are arranged around a lush garden.

It sprouts everything from prickly pear, to fig trees and vines, plus lilies, lemons and mulberry trees. And yes, there's hammocks and outdoor lounges.
