We loved our time at Vardia Bay studios, it was lovely accommodation with stunning views. We’d especially like to mention George who looked after us incredibly, especially after I made a booking error which he quickly and swiftly fixed for us. He also pointed out the best things to do on the island and was helpful in every way! We miss Folegandros and can’t wait to come back! Highly HIGHLY recommend :)

Nice studio apartment just above the ferry terminal for the islnd (50 m or so walk). Good size room, including sitting bench and work table. Also a kitchenette. Modern bathroom, with a nice rain shower (albeit in a small shower stall). Staff were helpful. Beaches and some restaurants in easy walking distance. Otherwise bus stop up to the old town and rest of island was a 3 minute walk.

Best views we've ever had!
Very clean studios. Just 5 min walk from the port of Folegandros. Our studio had balconies on both sides, one with panoramic view over the port and the back one on Vardia beach.

Room with a View.
With two amazing views from our room, to a view at breakfast this laid back beauty was one to remember. From staff to vendors everyone was amazing. Transit easy enough to go to the charming town of Chora. This part of my journey a definite favorite!

One to return to
Modern accommodation right next to the ferry arrival/departure area but you can be picked up with your luggage by hotel shuttle and taken uphill if necessary. The rooms are beautifully presented and very comfortable with a view of the bay. Staff are very friendly and helpful. A lovely breakfast is included

Awesome stay at Vardia Bay Studios
Booked for two nights at Vardia Bay Studios, was so awesome we had to stay another night. We had an upgrade to a top suite with a balcony each side, with ocean views each way. Beautiful bedroom, great kitchenette and bathroom with great shower. Great swimming beach down steps at the back. Excellent taverna right down the bottom, and port is 2 minute walk. We loved our stay and would highly recommend. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful.

Vardia bay perfectly located to the ferry port with an excellent transfer to the hotel. The views are breathtaking and Maggie was welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make our stay memorable. Easy walk to the beach , car hire, bars and local tavernas.

Lovely stay in beautiful handy location.
The hotel is literally a couple of hundred metres (albeit uphill) from the ferry terminal and the staff insist on picking you up for a shuttle, so kind. Staff were great and helpful tips about activities around the island. Vardia beach is literally at your doorstep and is lovely. we ate at a couple of nice restaurants close by, with great pastitsio. highly recommend. wish we stayed longer.
