The Bottom Line

Want indulgent luxury? A villa on the Marni Peninsula of Samos could be right for you - but if sightseeing is high on your list, it may not be your ideal choice.

Pros

  • Located on the Marnei peninsula on the Greek island of Samos.
  • Focus is on luxury.
  • Samos is known as the "Green Island", well-forested and beautiful.
  • Site offers two private swimming coves
  • Local hiking includes a trek up Mt. Kerkis, the third-highest mountain in the Aegean.

Cons

  • Definitely a pricy option.
  • Be persistent - their website is a bit annoying with sliding images and hard-to-click menus.

Description

  • Samos can be reached by air or by ferry.
  • While nicely remote, the town of Karlovasi offers everything you might need.
  • The island of Samos is the birthplace of Pythagoras.
  • Don't miss sampling the local muscat-based wine of Samos, an indulgently sweet wine.
  • Facilities include an infinity-edged swimming pool.

Guide Review - Marnei Mare, Samos

If you're looking for a retreat, the three private villas at Marnei Mare may offer just what you need. This remote peninsula on the green island of Samos offers some opportunities for indulgence - and since it is off the usual traveler's path, the pricing is less of a shock than you might expect, depending on the time of the season.

There is also a luxury health retreat offering full holistic offerings including massage, meditation, Reiki, and a number of other soothing services.
