    About this property

    • 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.

    Local information

    • Folegandros is a small island in the South-western Cyclades, between the islands of Sikinos and Milos. Self-sufficient and welcoming, Folegandros is a place of great wild beauty shining underneath the Aegean light. The house is in the old Kastro on the edge of the cliff and from the two terraces there is a 200-meter drop. The natural force of the Agais is particularly noticeable here. On a clear day, you can see the islands of Paros, Antiparos, Sifnos and Siros directly from the balcony. In the past, approaching ships were spotted here first.
