The miller's house is a 20 minute walk far from Chora, the main village of Folegandros. Its location is really special as it is among the old, traditional windmills of the island in a secluded and private spot. What makes the residence ideal is the fact that it is built right on the cliff, overlooking the endless blue of the Aegean Sea! The house can accommodate from 1 to 3 persons in a large and comfortable space offering all the necessary amenities for short or longer stays. In the miller's house my guests will find a comfortable bedroom area with a double bed, a sitting area with a sofa bed, the large, fully equipped kitchen area with a long counter, the bathroom and most importantly the balcony with the unobstructed sea view. Sunset is also visible from the windmill's porch behind the house. Even though these are very nice amenities, it is the history of the miller's house that makes my place unique. The windmills in the surrounding area were originally built in 1811 and were operational until the 1970's. Their job was simple, to turn wheat and barley into flour for the local farmers. During the crop season the windmills would have to work nonstop which demanded a lot of attention and maintenance. The miller who was responsible for this and for operating the windmill had to live very near and that is why the miller's house was built many many years ago. The complex of the windmill and the house is owned by my family for many generations, going back to my great grandfather. I am really happy and proud that I managed to turn this unique family property in a nice and warm accommodation and I will be even happier to host your stay on our beautiful island! You can access all the areas inside and around the miller's house! I am available at any time for help, information, and directions to the island's best spots! Always with respect to your personal space! The neighborhood is private and secluded away from the busy centers. It is very unique because it consists of the three old windmills and their houses which offer an essence of history and tradition to the area! "Vorina" beach is located at the bottom of the cliff and it is worth visiting as it is accessed only by foot from a footpath or by boat. The miller's house is near the one and only main road of the island. From there you can easily catch the buses to the villages of Chora and Ano Meria and of course "Aggali", the most central beach of the island! In case you decide to hire a car, a quad or a scooter, there are plenty of parking options next and nearby the house.
