Vici is born to be a host! From the first messages online to a melancholic fairwell at the port of Serifos we had a wonderful stay in her beautiful studio. Having coffee and a great conversation on her terrace, Vici told us the story of her house (a fantastic architectural work with a modern, spacious floor plan and smart appropriation of local materials and building traditions) and how well Airbnb worked for her.

The Press
THE TIMES UK, 2022, An arty place to stay in Greece. Simple, secluded and soulful, her home is a short stroll from sandy Karavi beach. The little guesthouse in the garden is a peaceful retreat, perfect for writers and artists, but also for families. Guests can dip into a growing library of Greek literature in translation and help themselves to fruit ripening in the verdant gardens.
The Writer’s Home
A 3min walk to the sandy beach, set on a lush landscape by a shady arbor with juneberries trees, pomegranate, eucalyptus and olive trees, The Writer’s home welcomes you to a place of peaceful respite. A real rural escapism overlooking the sailboats in the sea.
Early bird
During July and August you could rent the entire building: the Writer’s Home together with the self-contained Guest-home. The space was finished in 2000. Taking cues from the Cycladic buildings’ original palette, the result would lead you to believe that it is an old remarkable build, excellently preserved.
The Host
Originally from Athens, Vici disembarked on Serifos in 1980. She promised herself to meet the locals, get to know them, make this island her place, be a local. And she pulled it off: Serifos is really her place now and you may easily consider her, a local. Since 2010, she guides The Writer’s Home & Guest-home to a sustainable place where human contact, homely care and attention to detail are redefining hospitality, and where hospitality is forging connections that link travellers to a place and its people.
Eco-conscious
The Greek sun and the Cycladic wind dries our washing and we enjoy the clean, fresh-smelling, hand-made cotton bed linen and towels. Founded on a deep commitment to the environment. This help us to keep up the vision for a green-friendly Serifos and achieve the goal for a sustainable hospitality.
