Historic Folegandros Cliffhouse

Perched dramatically on a 200-meter-high cliff, the Cliff house offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable connection to history

Built around 800 years ago, this exceptional home was originally part of the outer defensive wall of the Venetian fortress known as the “Castro.” From this central vantage point in Folegandros, Venetian guards once kept watch for approaching pirates, safeguarding the island.
Unlike modern accommodations, the Cliff House is a rare gem that has retained its original 12th-century architecture. With its low passageways, steep staircases, and timeless character, it provides a truly authentic experience for individuals seeking something different from the sleek uniformity of newly built houses.
Recognized as a protected monument by Greek archaeology, the Cliff House is not just a place to stay—it’s a gateway to the past. Its unbeatable central location in Folegandros makes it perfect for exploring the island, while its historic charm ensures a stay like no other.
