Photos and Description of this Lesbos holiday house 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms + cot . Sleeps 6 people.

Pomegranate Cottage is in a unique position in the heart of historic Molivos, yet with shops, bars and tavernas on its doorstep and the beach and lively harbour only 5 minutes' walk away. The house is refurbished to excellent modern standards and very well equipped, yet retains the charm of a traditional Molivos town house. Watch the sun go down from the fabulous vine-draped terrace (seats 8), which enjoys breathtaking views of the coast, or relax in the shade of the downstairs walled garden with its orange and pomegranate trees (barbeque). Lovely views from all the spacious rooms which have both style and simplicity. Ideally suited to friends or families sharing with a bathroom upstairs and downstairs and plenty of room to chill out.! Quiet and peaceful low season, pretty lively at height of summer. Guest Comments:'Your house is so lovely. You paid so much attention to detail and results are amazing.' 'We have enjoyed every single minute here, so beautiful, perfection!'

Molivos is a delightful town in the north east of the island, dominated by its ancient hilltop castle and with phenomenal sea views. The winding cobbled streets reveal the tranquillity of traditional Greek life, majestic town houses, painted in reds and greens, alongside an array of stylish tavernas, bars and shops. There are a range of mini-markets nearby as well as a good baker and butcher. Nightlife is unsophisticated and mainly centres on the lively harbour front with its many tavernas and bars, some with live music, as well as the occasional nightclub.(Fewer bars, shops etc open in low season) There is an open-air cinema in peak season, with films in English. Minutes away from the house, the small town beach is pebbly, with sand out to sea, but the swimming is great, water sports, sun beds etc are available and there is a lovely open air pool adjacent. Nearby is the pretty village of Petra which has an excellent sandy beach and Eftalou, famous for its popular thermal baths..

Notes: There is a huge table on the upstairs terrace, which is a wonderful eating area and on the same floor as the kitchen (no inside dining area but a downstairs table could be moved inside on cooler evenings). Downstairs there is a utility room with washing machine and there is a table and chairs in the garden (having your own garden in the centre of Molivos is a great asset). The kitchen is very well equipped with adequate crockery etc for 10 people. There is a small room off one of the downstairs bedrooms, where there is a cot, video recorder and desk to write your novel! The plumbing is brilliant - excellent showers and no bins for toilet paper (Grecophiles will know these!). Bathrooms not en-suite. Access to the house is up quite a steep pathway so it is impossible to drive right up to the house. Good parking is nearby but really the joy of this house is that you do not need a car. Air conditioning in two bedrooms, fans and heaters also provided.

Further details for this holiday house rental on Lesbos, Greece

The Island and further notes about the house.: Lesbos is Greece's third largest island with dramatic mountain scenery and a landscape of olive groves and pine forests with the occasional monastery. It is a great place for walking, bird watching, relaxing on the beach and enjoying some of the best food in Greece. There are several thermal baths on the island including one at Eftalou just outside Molivos. The capital Mytilene is an interesting city to explore with museums and art galleries and a beautiful cathedral. The east of the island is characterised by lunar landscape and the fascinating petrified forest while Eressos, Sigri and Plomari are charming towns with pleasant beaches. Please note: We will leave kitchen basics for our guests to use. We would appreciate it if anything which is used up is replaced. There is also a video recorder in the study/baby room with a selection of videos (mainly for children) which you are welcome to use. Please leave everything in the house for others to enjoy!

Transport.: There is a reasonably good bus service across the island, especially between Molivos and Mytilini and May to September there is a regular bus service along the coast from Molivos to Petra and Anaxos. There is a taxi rank just outside the town and fares are cheap. A car is really not necessary but unless you wish to explore the island. There is a large port in Mytilini with daily sailings to Athens (about 9 hours) and Chios and less frequent sailings to Limnos and Rhodes. Domestic flights to Athens take about 45 minutes (Aegean and Olympic Airways). Direct charter flights from the UK (Gatwick and Manchester) are from May to Mid October on Thursdays (currently First Choice and Thomson). Otherwise you have to fly via Athens (Easyjet, Olympic and British Airways plus Aegean from Stansted. Aegean and Easyjet are cheaper than getting direct flight this year, In season the changeover day for rentals is Thursday. There are also direct flights from Holland, Norway and Germany.

Trips.: There is a very good book on walks in the area (in the house) which are particularly enjoyable in the early and late season. Bird watching is superb in spring and autumn and Molivos is about half an hour from the gulf of Kalloni where many interesting birds can be spotted (120 seen by guests!). Mountain bikes can be hired locally and for the less energetic donkey treks (often quite hilarious) can be arranged with local travel agents- usually into the nearby hills and ending up at a taverna. The swimming is good everywhere and you can snorkel around the rocks off Molivos. Serious beach bums might prefer to idle the day away at the nearby larger sandy beaches of Petra and Anaxos. Boat trips along the coast with swimming and barbeque are wonderfully relaxing.

Other Activities: Donkey trekking, Bird watching

Wonderful holiday!

13426 Molyvos,Lesvos
Review Submitted: August 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I am just writing to let you how much we enjoyed our stay at Pomegranate House. We have just gotten home from the rest of our holiday, but the high light was the week we spent at Molyvos. Tom was very helpful and friendly. The house was just perfect. Wonderfully relaxing and a joy to be in. The terrace is where we spent the most time, all of us being avid readers, it was hard to keep ours eyes in the book and not at the view, Dag had the best idea with listening books so he could enjoy the view and 'read'. We met the neighbours and Freda the dog. Walked up to the castle every day and swam regularly in the crystal clear waters below. The pebble beaches are a little rough on the feet. We are kind of used to soft yellow sand!

We did a donkey ride to the beach in the evening, which was great and enjoyed the very laid back BBQ provided.

There did seem to be buses from the airport, though we had a car.

Thank you for allowing us stay in your wonderful home.

Relaxing break

Kate and Chris Manchester
Review Submitted: June 20, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Pomegranate Cottage was even better than the description. The views from the terrace are breathtaking - a lovely place to have breakfast. The house was very well appointed and comfortable. The sitting room was an added bonus on the odd day when the weather was cool and showery. We even learnt to play backgammon with the set provided! Molivos is a charming village with its plentiful restaurants, cobbled lanes and castle to explore. We didn't venture very far but would recommend Petra and the climb up the rock to the church. Tom, who looks after the house, was extremely helpful and informative. If you're looking for a relaxing break in a pretty, friendly village go to Pomegranate Cottage.

pure relaxation

subee Hampshire
Review Submitted: February 4, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
So love staying at Pomegranate cottage have been back there many times now. I adore the fantastic views from the terrace across the bay whilst chilling out over a leisurely breakfast and/or a cool wine enjoying the sun going down early evening. The cottage has all the comforts you could want for and even the option to barbecue within the walled garden! Plenty of choice of good bars and restaurants to enjoy some excellent food in Molivos, even to keep my teenage son very happy! Molivos is so unspoiled its just pure relaxation, if you need tempting away from the beach, would definitely recommend the donkey trek to the hillside taverna and there is plenty of trips available to other parts of Lesbos, to soak up the culture and history, if you need to explore further or even take a boat trip and or enjoy some watersports. Molivos is dominated by the castle on the top and the cottage nestles beautifully within the atmosphere of this special place. Booking was easy and the property beautifully cared for, arrangements for travel to and from the airport and access all ran smoothly, with plenty of supporting information available to help you enjoy your stay. I highly recommend a stay here and can't wait till my next return!
