About
Lesvos Tower House Komninos is a distinctive villa accommodation situated near Sigri, the charming fishing village that anchors the remote western coast of Lesvos. The tower house typology is rooted in the island's vernacular architecture, where robust stone structures were built for both residence and protection, and staying in one connects guests directly to that layered history. This property combines the character of traditional Lesbian stonework with the comfort expected of a holiday retreat.
Guests staying at Tower House Komninos are ideally placed to explore one of the least-touristed corners of Lesvos. Sigri itself is a quiet, authentic village with a natural harbour, a well-preserved Ottoman-era castle, and a relaxed pace of life that feels genuinely removed from the busier eastern resorts. The surrounding landscape is dramatic and largely wild, with access to the UNESCO-recognised Petrified Forest of Lesvos just a short drive away — a geological wonder where ancient trees turned to stone over millions of years and now rise from the volcanic terrain.
The villa format suits travellers who prefer privacy, space, and the freedom to settle into a place rather than pass through it. Whether used as a base for hiking the coastal paths, day-tripping to nearby beaches like Faneromeni or Liota, or simply unwinding in one of the island's most tranquil corners, Tower House Komninos offers a stay with genuine character in a part of Lesvos that rewards those willing to venture west.
Before you go
What to expect
The stone tower house anchors you immediately in western Lesvos — thick walls, a stillness that the remote coastline amplifies, and Sigri's small fishing harbour a short walk away. The Ottoman castle watches over the waterfront while boats come and go, and the pace of the village feels genuinely unhurried. The Petrified Forest is a short drive inland, an easy half-day excursion from the front door.
Best time to visit
Late May through September is the ideal window; the far west sees far fewer visitors than the east coast even in July and August, so the sense of quiet rarely breaks.
How to get there
Sigri is roughly an hour and a half's drive from Mytilene, crossing the island westward through Kalloni and continuing through olive groves and open volcanic hill country.

We spent 10 days at Lesvos Tower House and had a fantastic time. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The garden and pool area were perfect for relaxation. The family-run place is wonderful, with owners who are friendly, helpful, and went out of their way for us. The village is charming, with an authentic feel, great local restaurants, and friendly people. Our holiday was great, thanks in large part to Lesvos Tower House

No telephone signal, and Wi -Fi service (as advertised) at the apartment provided to us. Despite of our pleads, this much needed service was still not rectified by the second, of six days we've agreed to stay there. Unfortunately, we inconveniently had to move. When we notified one of the owners (wife) to that effect. Not only did she originally opposed it, without us paying for the full six days reservation , but she commenced an unprovoked harassment, and vicious verbal attach against me and my family. This experience was not what we needed for our six days stay, in the otherwise beautiful Sigri.
