About this property
Alexis House offers a rare blend of private villa living with the comfort of a boutique hotel and, as a bonus, its own spa and a nightly turndown service !. Nestled in the historic village of Eressos on the southwest of Lesvos, the setting is both dramatic and authentic—reached via a scenic drive past mountain ranges, valleys, and the island’s famous petrified forest. The nearby Skala Eresou, a lively beach town, adds vibrant cafes, restaurants, shops, and one of Lesvos’ finest sandy stretches to the experience.
Once an elegant 19th-century mansion, Alexis House has been beautifully restored to combine period charm with modern luxury. The property comprises two buildings: one with four sumptuous bedroom suites, a dining room, and lounge; the other dedicated to a superb private spa. Each suite has its own character, from the romantic Elpida Suite with soaring ceilings to the light-filled Niki Suite with sweeping sea views. All come with luxurious bathrooms, quality mattresses, and thoughtful amenities.
Guests enjoy hotel-style services including daily housekeeping, turndown service, and gourmet breakfasts. The villa features an outdoor pool, alfresco dining terraces, and panoramic views of the valley, mountains, and Aegean. With its spa hammam, indoor pool, and optional private chef, Alexis House is a haven for wellness, indulgence, and relaxation.

As seen in
Eressos is tranquil, authentic, away from crowds. On the southwest coast of Lesvos, is one of the island’s most atmospheric villages, perched above a lush green valley with sweeping views of mountains and sea. Wandering its streets feels like stepping back in time, with ancient stone houses, children playing outside, and a pace of life unchanged for generations. A handful of Taverns and a bakery are just around the corner. Just 3km away lies Skala Eresou, birthplace of the poetess Sappho, home to one of Lesvos’ best Blue Flag beaches. Here, long golden sands meet crystal waters, lined with bamboo-decked cafés, waterfront tavernas and a relaxed, spiritual vibe.
The surrounding valley is alive with wildlife, spring-fed lakes, orchards, ruins and walking trails. A short drive brings you to the island’s unique Petrified Forest, while across Lesvos you’ll find medieval castles, hot springs, charming villages, monasteries and fascinating museums—including the world-famous Ouzo Museum. The island is also a paradise for birdwatchers in spring, when migratory species flood the salt lakes of Kalloni, and for beach lovers with over 20 stretches of coastline, from secluded coves to vast sandy bays like Vatera.
Lesvos remains unspoilt by mass tourism—authentic, rugged, and full of history. It’s Greece as it used to be, where natural beauty, tradition and hospitality come together in timeless harmony.

Stayed here for a short stay and loved the house, which has been sympathetically restored, and is very comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing and so tasty as local produce used. Do try the Fennel cupcakes, but actually try and have a different dish each days as it's very good. There are 3 tavernas in the square and they will deliver if you want, but we had booked a chef to cook at the house. We loved the turndown treats, and the toiletries were really lovely. Skala and it's beach and restaurants are a lovely place to spend a day and an evening too. Oh, and you must try the Hammam...just wow!

The villa is located in Eressos village, right by the central square. Easily accessible, with lovely views, we were warmly welcomed by the very friendly staff and offered hot beverages. We also booked a spa and hammam experience, which was exceptionally calming and professional. The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean, and offered all necessary amenities, all of which were of great quality. From the reception, to the rooms, the bedsheets, to the spa, to even the shampoos and soaps, everything had a luxurious feel and smelled amazing! The breakfast was lovely and offered a variety of options, both sweet and savoury, while almost everything was made fresh upon request. Overall we we extremely satisfied with our weekend stay, a very pleasing getaway experience.
