Voulamandis House

Our guesthouse is located in the region Kampos of Chios, hardly fifteen minutes from the city and from the nearest beach. Voulamandis House is an old, traditional, stony mansion, built in 1742, which was shaped suitably in order to offer our visitors a pleasant stay.

Voulamandis House is situated exactly in the centre of Kampos, in a property of twelve acres covered with orange and mandarine trees, which are irrigated from our traditional well, that dominates in the centre of our huge courtyard.

Once this property belonged to a rich tradesman of that time and was used as a resting and meditation place.

In the beginning the farm was only used for the production of citrus fruits.

After this time the farm became a property of our family and in parallel with the culture of citrus fruits,

we decided to transform the mansion in a big and convenient guesthouse. From 1990 we have lodged a lot of visitors from the entire world. Our daily contact with people from Germany, France, Austria, Belgium,Holland and Sweden had as a result very good friendships and many guests decided to visit our house every year and some of them twice a year.

In Voulamandis House, you can enjoy the peacefulness and the harmony of the plain, in an ideal environment,

where the five senses are excited by the perfume of flowers and basilicum, the green of plain, the singing of the birds and the flavours of our traditional cooking.

The high palm tree next to the mansion gives an exotic tone to the whole environment. If you are attracted by the idea of staying with us,participating in the Greek way of living and being surrounded every day by the beautiful nature of Kampos – then you should visit us!
