Provalma

This is our third year returning to Provalma and it always feels like a homecoming thanks to Yiannis and his family. The property is stunning with breathtaking views over the Aegean, a lush, lovingly tended garden and a collection of tastefully decorated rooms that reflect the charm and character of the island, with a sophisticated vibe. And then there are the breakfasts! After watching the sun rise, you’re treated to a personal breakfast basket delivery which you can tailor to your tastes. Fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, local pastries, and freshly squeezed orange juice along with Yiannis’ perfect cappuccinos! Yiannis and his family are the essence of warmth, generosity, and Greek hospitality. This is a very special place- a true treasure on a spectacular island.

This was our first visit to Folegandros and we are very happy we stayed at Provalma. This is a very special peaceful place with a private atmosphere that does not feel like a hotel. The set up is very interesting with 5 spacious separated rooms only and a pool, not much more, but great rooms, fantastic absolutely homemade breakfast that is brought to you as per your wishes in a basket in the morning. The owner Yiannis is very present and easily approachable. Then we need to mention the absolutely awesome views since the location is high up on a hill. Eating outside in the morning overlooking the sea and the Chora far in the distance is very special. Also the evenings with only the stars above and absolutely silent - this to us was really special. When staying at Provalma you do need a car or four wheel drive vehicle to get around. Ours was delivered to Provalma fast as agreed and the car was very affordable. Dinners we ate mostly at the Chora that has a very special feeling with good restaurants. The Chora is a must to visit in the evenings. Best sunsets at the Church above the Chora, at some of the hotels below the Chora or just on the other side of Provalma over the hill. Was great to get to know Yiannis and hear about his future plans with Provalma. Thanks again Yiannis and good luck. Hope to return again.

This property is among my all time favorites! The setting is truly spectacular, and the architecture and landscaping have been deliberately curated to make the most of the location. If you can bear to leave such a perfect place, hiking and short drives offer more rewarding views and a window into life on this lovely island. Chora is only minutes away by car for restaurants and strolling the atmospheric town. We stayed 5 nights and loved every minute! Yiannis and Alexandra, helper Luis, all went out if there way to make our stay lovely and offer help with logistics. The breakfast is wonderful, with a lovely presentation too! Personal studios and the inviting pool make this a very comfortable choice!
