While homemade jams and local treats are appreciated, the breakfast offerings received mixed feedback, with suggestions for improvement regarding fresh bread.

One reviewer noted the absence of a transfer service from the port, suggesting it should be offered, even if paid, given the distance and price point.

“Perfect location if you are looking to an even quieter and more tranquil spot in Folegandros. Ano Meria and the Venue Villas are simply beautiful. Great views from higher spots of the island and close to some beautiful beaches like Livadaki and Agkali. Couldn´t recommend more, as our host was super friendly and welcoming. Clean room and really spatious, with your own private patio and small pool with massage jets, which is great to have when you come back from a warm day at the beach or a walking trek.”
