At Hotel Votsala and Villa Daphnis and Chloe, we're not your typical wedding destination, and that's by design. We're not hosting just one evening wedding parties. We're here to offer an extraordinary experience for couples who want to experience also our vision. We've had the privilege of hosting already five remarkable celebrations for couples who sought something truly special." Couples who like you, wanted “a different wedding"
Our vision is simple—celebrate your love with a minimum four-day (or longer) escape on the mesmerizing island of Lesvos. Share this journey with your friends and family, who will become a part of the Votsala and Villa experience.
Beyond the picturesque venues, we offer more than just a celebration. We craft bespoke programs, including guided nature tours, historical walks, and delightful picnics in scenic spots for you and your guests.
Preparation for the Couple
The bride can get dressed in the beautiful sala at the villa, while the groom gets prepared at Votsala. Once the groom is ready, he can walk with all the guests through the village toward the villa theatre, waiting for the bride.

Wedding Ceremony and Party
The wedding ceremony can take place in our beautiful outdoor dance theatre nestled among ancient olive groves. Exchange your vows in this intimate and unique setting. Follow the ceremony with a joyous party in our seaside garden, where the sea breeze and twinkling stars set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Enjoy our daily homemade breakfasts under the shade of our big fig tree or by the seaside at Votsala. Each day, we serve a variety of savory and sweet surprises using fresh vegetables and fruits from our garden, along with delicious yogurt and homemade jams.

We also offer tasty lunches and dinners according to your program. Our cooks cater to any dietary request, offering vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other options. Our dishes are simple, primarily following the Greek Mediterranean diet, but are full of flavor and creativity.

I created the idea of hosting weddings here after experiencing its uniqueness firsthand at my own wedding. With friends from all over—my husband is Italian, French, and Greek—we spent five unforgettable days together. I'm here to share my ideas, listen to yours, and create a unique experience for your special day."
As the architect of the villa, I created this space with a vision of fostering connection and bringing people together. It's wonderful to see people coming here and sharing their love with their guests.
Cooking is my passion, and I’d love to share it with you! Join me for cooking classes, and if you wish, your guests can cook with me for your party celebration. We did this for my daughter's wedding, and it was great fun for everyone. We shared love through their food.
I fell in love with Lesvos in 2022 and haven’t stopped exploring its rich history since. We can organise a history walk together around the village—no prerequisites, no exams, just fascinating stories that bring the island's history to life.
At the wedding of my parents, who got married here in 2023, I proudly served as the ring bearer. So, I'm quite well-trained if you need me for your special day. And of course, I can wear something suitable for the occasion!
If you prefer a simple setup, our pots of flowers can be arranged around the ceremony or on your tables.
Perhaps you have a friend who will take photos and a cousin who will do your hair. That's perfect!
However, if you need professional services, we can recommend you some local vendors on the island.
We can connect you with local photographers, videographers, musicians, wedding decorators,
hairdressers, and makeup artists.
Lesvos, home to twelve million olive trees, has been protected from mass tourism. This island's 'slow development' is its greatest advantage—no big hotels, no artificial crowds. Instead, you'll find authentic Greek villages, inspired by its rich history and untouched beauty. Lesvos has been a muse for countless thinkers and artists, from Aristotle to Sappho, who drew inspiration from its unique energy.
Discover the untouched Lesvos with our guided activities and proposals. Immerse yourself in local community, culture, and cuisine. Celebrate your love in this timeless haven.
