Hi, I'm Michael, and welcome to my world!

I’m the proud founder, owner, and visionary behind Villa Michalis. This 3000m² property in Samos, Greece, is a labor of love.  Since I moved to Samos from Switzerland in 2017,  I've single-handedly undertaken most of the renovations, and I personally clean, launder, and prepare the guest rooms. My dedication extends to tending a small menagerie of animals, including three dogs, ducks, turkeys, and chickens. And yes, I even make time to create a summer supply of delicious limoncello, marmalades, and jams.

Every week, I shuttle guests to and from the airport, and in between my chores, I joyfully take them on tours to places like the Vakakis winery and other wonderful sights in Samos. My days are long, often extending late into the night, but I am driven by the energy and happiness I derive from making others happy.  

I've always believed in living life with generosity and high standards, that’s why I  always strive to offer the best to everyone who chooses to stay at Villa Michalis. Every guest can expect the best of Samos—whether it's the finest local wine waiting in the fridge or a warm welcome and personalized experience. Thank you for being part of my story!
