“What an amazing place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2007

people found this review helpful

My husband and I have just returned from the most amazing vacation on a small greek island called Folegrandros. Not only is the island a magical place but the place we stayed made it a fantastic experience. Ampelos Resort is a small, family run, "village" style hotel that overlooks the main city of Chora. The stunning views are only a small part of what made our trip so wonderful. The hotel is extremely clean with large rooms and a balcony with a breathtaking view from each room. The reception is a cozy gathering place where a light breakfast is served each morning. The family which runs the resort (Anne, Fotis and Theo) are warm and knowledgable of the island. The best part of the hotel is the vast array of travelers staying there. There were singles, couples, families and friends staying at Ampelos. The village-style setting allowed for us to get to know each of the guests staying and that alone will bring us back for years to come. We would reccommend Ampelos Resort without a single hesitation.

“The best hotel secret on Folegandros”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2007

Just returned on June 10th from a 7-day stay on Folegandros. I found the island charming, traditional, calming, non-touristy and beautiful. We stayed at a hotel not listed on this site - it is called "ampelos", and is located on the hillside overlooking Chora (in fact, overlooking the much discussed Chora Resort). For about 1/3 of the room rate of the Chora Resort, you get a family owned and operated property with personality. It is run by Anna and Fotis Papadapolous, and their son Theo. It was built just a few years ago, but modeled after a village - with 10 different rooms, each with patio or balcony, mini-fridges, hairdryers, nice bathrooms. There's a common room, where you can get a continental breakfast or join other visitors in a game of backgammon or canasta. The infinity pool overlooks the town of Chora, the sea, the Panagea and tends to be a gathering place where guests end up getting to know each other. A 10-minute walk gets you to the charming town of Chora, the tavernas, shops and the old Kastro. I would definitely recommend both Folegandros and a stay at Ampelos.
