Pezoulia Cottages: A Hidden Gem in Alonia, Samothraki
Where peace meets the soul of the island
Nestled in the sleepy village of Alonia, Pezoulia Cottages is more than just a place to stay — it's a retreat into calm. Surrounded by ancient olive trees, dramatic mountain views, and the soft hum of the Aegean breeze, this family-run haven invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and truly reconnect — with nature, with yourself, and with the rhythm of Samothraki.
The name “Pezoulia” means “stone terraces” in Greek, a fitting tribute to the cottages’ deep bond with the land they sit on.
Just a short drive from Kamariotissa and the mystical Sanctuary of the Great Gods, these traditional stone homes are a sanctuary for couples, solo wanderers, and families who crave authenticity, simplicity, and space to just be.
Tranquil by Nature, Thoughtful by Design
Each cottage is built with local stone and wood, blending effortlessly into the rugged landscape. Inside, you'll find a warm mix of rustic charm and quiet modern comforts — think cozy textures, minimal design, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger.
Spacious terraces overlook the mountains and sky, perfect for that first cup of coffee with the birds or a starlit glass of wine. Privacy is a priority here — with just a few standalone cottages, it’s easy to feel like you’ve got your own corner of the island.
And while the hosts are wonderfully welcoming, they’re also respectfully hands-off — giving you space while ensuring you feel looked after.

Sustainability at Its Heart
Pezoulia isn’t just nestled in nature — it’s built to protect it. The cottages follow eco-conscious principles: low-impact construction with natural materials, smart water-saving features, and thoughtful energy use thanks to natural ventilation and design.
The olive groves are left mostly wild, creating a haven for local wildlife, and the caretakers maintain a low-noise, low-waste atmosphere that attracts travelers who want to tread lightly and live consciously.
