Hello
to you all ! Before you get any deeper into checking our hotel we would
like to introduce ourselves to you.
We are
both born and bred Greeks, even though for the past 30 years we have domiciled
in UK , which became home to us and our grown up now family. Vaios was
born in the North of Greece, in a small village in the vicinity of Meteora
and I was born in Agiasos of Lesvos.
For the
past 30 years we have returned to Greece every year for our summer family
holidays, therefore apart from knowing the culture of Greece and its people
we are very familiar with joys and challenges of travelling and holidaying
in Greece.
Twelve
years ago, on another holiday in Lesvos with my sister we were told about
the beauty and tranquillity of Vatera, its fantastic beach and the clear,
unpolluted sea. Frankly I told my sister that she was exaggerating. To
my shame even though Vatera is situated only 25 min drive from my birthplace,
on the coast line of Lesvos, I didn't know of it.
We remedied
that by breaking short our stay in Skala Eressos and turning up at Vatera,
without any arrangements for accommodation or knowing anyone. We needn't
have worried. We found Vatera as beautiful and tranquil as described, the
beach out of this world, the people friendly and welcoming and accommodation
within our expectations and budget.
Our holidays
ended a week later, leaving us with wonderful memories, but more importantly
with an unusual and more enduring holiday souvenir. Since we liked the
place so much we thought it would be a perfect place to retire in a few
years time. So we looked, asked and investigated the possibility of buying
a parcel of land to build our future home.
We left
Vatera having paid the deposit and legally agreed the purchase of two acres
of land (the current site of Madonna Studios) to be completed in the autumn
of the same year.
The rest
as they say is history. Along the way, we decided that we wanted to share
our good fortune with others and instead of building just our retirement
home we created the ten studio apartments that we named Madonna Studios
in honour of our Lady the Madonna of Agiasos.
In the
past twelve years our endeavours to introduce Vatera to the wider international
public have been a labour of love and frustration. It hasn't been easy.
The people we have reached, came, stayed, left enchanted and returned or
sent their friends. However this has been a slow, painful process.
In the
meantime Vatera has grown in proportion (as if from a child to a beautiful
woman) but has not changed in its beauty and tranquillity. The sea that
surrounds it, is just as clean and free of pollution as when we first knew
it.
We look
foreword to meeting you.

choice for truly magical, relaxing holidays....
MADONNA
STUDIOS
Clearly
sign posted, on the left hand corner of the main road, leading to the beach,
Madonna Studios are situated on a foothill, which guarantees breathtaking
views of the sea and the surrounding countryside. From the totally private
balconies, sunny patios and terrace you can enjoy the views of sea, pine
and olive trees at leisure. They are set back from the beach near enough
(2 minutes walk), but far enough from the tavernas and the hussle and bustle
(5 minutes walk) to ensure a relaxed and peaceful environment.
The ten
studios were built in 1990 and were designed to provide total privacy,
comfort, spaciousness (35 sq.m.), and safety for the occupants. Hence each
has its own access, private front spacious balconies and
back verandas/patios surrounded by the mature tree and shrub gardens. They
feature a large principal room with a double bed and two stacking single
beds, which may be used as twin beds or a sofa, sleeping a maximum of four
people. All are furnished with pine furniture and are decorated in the
local traditional style. The separate kitchens are provided with refrigerators,
cookers (inc. grill & oven), electric kettles, glass, crockery and
cutlery for four. The private bathrooms have showers with hot and cold
water. Hot water is provided by the installed solar system but there is
a back up electrical system for those overcast days (fortunately not many).
Full linen and maid service is available twice weekly. Additional facilities
include a room mini bar service as required, outdoor bar and al fresco
barbecue area. Staff speak Greek and English.
