Official rating 4*. Sleeps 2-5, Bed & breakfast, boutique villas
Tucked away in the tranquil heart of Ano Meria, one of the most untouched and authentic parts of Folegandros Island, Lemon Tree Houses is a distinctive collection of five boutique villas offering a serene escape into the Cycladic way of life. Surrounded by cultivated fields and dry-stone walls that stretch across the hillside, the complex blends seamlessly into its unspoiled surroundings. Built in keeping with the traditional Cycladic architectural style, each villa features clean lines, whitewashed surfaces, and two private verandas offering breathtaking panoramic views across the Aegean Archipelago.
Ano Meria is a village steeped in history and tradition, where a centuries-old rural lifestyle still flourishes. Home to most of the island’s permanent residents, it’s a place where donkeys remain a common sight on the narrow, winding roads, and where time seems to slow down in harmony with nature. Within this peaceful setting, Lemon Tree Houses offers a rare opportunity to experience the island as the locals do—authentic, calm, and deeply connected to the land.
Each of the five villas at Lemon Tree Houses accommodates between two and five guests, making them a perfect choice for couples, families, or small groups of friends. While the villas share a consistent external style, every house has been individually designed and decorated, offering a unique atmosphere and distinctive interior touches that reflect the character of the space. All are spacious and stylishly minimalist, featuring queen or king-size beds, comfortable living areas with sofa beds, kitchenettes with mini-bar fridges, and modern bathrooms with high-quality amenities.
Villa Citron and Villa Etrog, both 40 square metres, comfortably accommodate up to four guests. They feature queen-size beds, bright interiors, and large verandas that open up to sweeping sea views. Villa Quince, at 45 square metres, is the largest of the five and sleeps up to five people, with an additional queen-size futon on a mezzanine level offering extra space and comfort. Villa Bergamia and Villa Nimbu mirror the size and layout of the others, each featuring built-in king-size beds and tasteful décor, offering a soothing and elegant ambience.
Every villa includes a 32” LED flat-screen TV with cable channels and a 10-inch tablet for browsing, perfect for guests who want to stay connected while enjoying the serenity of their private terrace. At the heart of the property, guests can relax at the shared pool and poolside snack bar, where breakfast and lunch are served daily, making it easy to spend long, lazy days without ever leaving the grounds.
Lemon Tree Houses is more than a place to stay—it’s a peaceful, beautifully crafted retreat for those seeking comfort, authenticity, and the slower rhythms of island life.
