Archway House is located in the unspoiled village of Arnados and offers spectacular, unobstructed views over the Aegean Sea and -in the distance- the islands of Mykonos, Delos and on clear days Naxos, Paros & Antiparos.
One of the oldest villages of the island, Arnados is 8 km away from the Chora (main town/port) and is characterized by its medieval arches and cobblestone alleys, where one can relish in the simplicity and charm of Greek island life.
The nearest beaches are a 6-10 km drive. You can choose between an unspoiled landscape like Lychnaftia Beach and Pachia Ammos or an organized beach with sunbeds and cocktail bars at Ag. Sostis or Laouti.
In 2021 we renovated this traditional house, respecting its original layout and special features, and equipping it with all amenities for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
The house consists of two separate levels, that offer various accommodation options across 160 m2 of interior space.
On the upper floor (main house) there is an inviting open-plan living room with a wood stove and two large built-in sofas & the master bedroom with stunning views. Our green-marbled master bathroom comes with a walk-in shower and a towel drying rack. In the fully equipped kitchen guests can prepare their own meals, which can be enjoyed either in the indoor spacious dining area or outdoors on the terrace with amazing panoramic views (both areas have large dining tables). Should you however prefer to dine out, there are two tavernas in the village at a max 3 min walking distance.
On the lower level, there are 3 more bedrooms (all with double beds and own showers/wc). Between them they share an additional kitchenette for the first espresso of the day or a cold, refreshing beverage and a small lounge area.
Our two terraces (upper & lower levels) offer not only the perfect spots for sunbathing, but also uninterrupted sea views. We are also very proud of a small garden, where the jasmine, tangerine and lemon trees offer their shade and wonderful aromas, should you choose to enjoy there your breakfast or apéro.
