Old farmhouse, spacious open kitchen, a room with two single beds and a bedroom with a double bed in the shed next to the house; bathroom with toilet and shower

Secluded yet central in the Raches region, in the forest with a view of the sea and a river. Restored Ikariotic farm with spacious garden in which Olive, nut and fruit trees and vegetables are lovingly cared for in a natural way. And many herbs with medicinal properties from which we make ointments and oils. Are you looking for peace and are you a nature lover; do you want to meditate under a tree or near a splashing waterfall; do you like walking: the house is located at a crossroads of the old donkey paths which were once the only roads of Ikaria and on which you can take long or short walks, eg: you walk within 15 minutes on a shady path to the village of Raches where there are post office, shops, restaurants and cafes. The sea is visible but the house is not by the sea. It is a ten minute drive to the beach by car or moped. We recommend that you make a reservation in advance for transport hire, as the offer is limited.

Petit spot idéal pour amoureux de la nature

Emplacement idéal pour découvrir Ikaria,ses belles plages avec une mer bleu turquoise, faire de jolies randonnées en montagne couverte de forêts de pins et participer aux fêtes de villages où tout le monde danse toute la nuit.La maison nous à beaucoup plue malgré son équipement spartiate.

Authentic house in an authentic island

We stayed for three days in this very nice house completely rebuilt by its owner, in a remote location yet near the beaches. the location is amazing on the hills of Raches, in a cool breeze in an unspoiled island. the owner is extremely friendly and helpful I warmly recommend this house.

One of the most relaxing, warm, get-together holidays we had, these 12 days in Laurie's place

I have spent 1 week with friends and a 2nd week with my 3 daughters in Laurie's place. Hidden in nature, allowing you to escape from August's crowds but as well in easy distance from main points of interest (Mesakti beach & Raches village). We enjoyed and appreciated Lauries hospitality to share every aspect of her creation (the house, the garden, the fruits, herbs, stories, contacts etc). The house -which is Laurie's home-is fully equipped with whatever is needed for a long comfortable stay, it all felt as we have been invited by good old friends. The setting claims for people who enjoy escaping from busy crowds, are familiar with living close to/with nature, appreciate the local touch of Ikarian living

Holiday in nature

The place of Laurie is located in a beautiful garden nearby a picturesque river. It is a perfect place for those who like calmness and privacy, while being surrounded by nature. You can hear the frogs croaking in the river and birds singing in the surrounding forest. In the night you can watch stars as there are no other lights in the area. Because of our infant baby it was more convenient for us to stay in the main house as the bedroom with a double bed is located few steps away from the main house. The place is clean and the kitchen is fully equipped even with a food processor which we used to prepare food for our baby. It is also not far to reach nice tavernas and cafes for those who prefer to eat outside and try Ikarian specialties. Laurie and her husband are very welcoming and made our stay convenient. Thank you!

Perfect

We loved our week at Laurie. The property is not only a house but also a dream, a gift for the nature, a project of life and a proof of big will and love shown by the owner. Me and my husband we wish to have something similar surrounded by nature at some point in our life. Not to mention that in there you can find all the comfort of a 4 star hotel plus the beds are super!!! Thanks a lot!!

Μια όμορφη εμπειρια

Ένα σπίτι κυριολεκτικά μέσα στη φύση, πολύ όμορφο και προσεγμένο, με χαρακτήρα,προτείνεται για ήρεμες διακοπές.. άβολη η διαμονή για τα άτομα στο σπιτάκι με το διπλό κρεβάτι, Καθώς η πόρτα πρέπει να μένει ανοιχτή ,ώστε να δροσίζεται ο χώρος, υπάρχει η προστασία της «εξυπνης» σίτας αλλά χρειάζεται μια επιπλέον προστασία κυρίως για τα έντομα πιστεύω.. περάσαμε υπέροχα και το προτείνω

At least perfect!

We had a wonderful time at Laurie’s apartment! The house is a real piece of art, a dream place! Unique and traditional at the same time, clean and ordered, with all the facilities you’ll ever need. Laurie is a helpful, radiant person, full of positive energy! She is not just a host to us, she became our friend! We recommend this place, not only for its natural and original beauty, but also for the opportunity you’ll have to meet such a special person, like Laurie. Honestly, she is the best host ever! We thank you, Laurie, for this experience! We are definitely coming back next year!
