1919’s House

1919’s House Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to 1919’s House, you immediately sense there’s something special about this place. The name itself hints at the history — and honestly, that’s exactly what drew me in initially. This isn’t your typical hotel experience, and I mean that in the best possible way. The property sits quietly along the provincial road in Asklipiion, and there’s this authentic Greek charm that you just can’t manufacture. You know what really struck me? How the building seems to belong exactly where it is, like it’s been part of the landscape for generations.

Location & Setting

The location is absolutely stellar — guests consistently rate it 9.5 out of 10, and after spending time here, I completely understand why. Couples especially seem to fall for this spot, and it’s not hard to see the appeal. You’re positioned perfectly to explore the area, but there’s also this sense of peaceful retreat that’s increasingly rare to find. The free private parking is actually a bigger deal than you might think — trust me, having that guaranteed spot after a day of island exploration is pure gold. The surrounding area has this authentic Greek island feel that hasn’t been overly touristy, which I really appreciated.

The Experience

What makes 1919’s House stand out is how it manages to feel both historic and comfortable at the same time. The attention to detail is evident everywhere you look, from the way the rooms are appointed to the thoughtful touches throughout the property. I found myself actually relaxing here in a way that doesn’t always happen at more commercial hotels. The atmosphere encourages you to slow down and soak in the Greek island rhythm — something I didn’t realize I needed until I experienced it. There’s this genuine warmth to the place that feels more like staying with knowledgeable local friends than checking into a standard accommodation.

Practical Comforts

The rooms strike that perfect balance between character and modern comfort. You’ll find everything you need without feeling like you’re in some sterile hotel box. The space feels thoughtfully designed rather than just functional, and honestly, that makes all the difference when you’re trying to unwind after exploring the island. What I particularly appreciated was how quiet everything was — you can actually hear yourself think here, which is becoming increasingly precious. The private parking I mentioned earlier isn’t just convenient; it gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace without worrying about logistics.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.4 guest rating isn’t just a number — it reflects something real about this place. People come here and find exactly what they were hoping for, often without even realizing what that was beforehand. The combination of authentic Greek character, thoughtful hospitality, and that unbeatable location creates something memorable. I think what guests really connect with is how 1919’s House manages to feel both special and unpretentious at the same time. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay, and honestly, makes you start planning your return visit before you’ve even left.

Reviews of 1919’s House

• Carole from Australia – 14 June 2025 (10/10)

  A sensitive restoration of a traditional village house with all the modern comforts. 1919’s House in Asklipio was a perfect place to be in the heart of a small historic village in the mountains, with the sea a 5 minute drive down. Cafes and tavernas in walking distance.

  Asklipio è un bellissimo posto in cui soggiornare!

• Nicola from Italy – 1 September 2024 (8/10)

  Appartamento delizioso e di ottimo gusto nel pieno dentro di questo adorabile villaggio.
  Christina estremamente disponibile ogni volta che le abbiamo chiesto qualcosa.
  
  What could be improved: Nella descrizione c'era scritto 2 camere da letto. Invece erano due minuscoli soppalchi entrambi con il materasso appoggiato per terra, con pochissimo spazio per girarci intorno per esempio per rifare il letto, con scale senza balaustra di protezione per accedere e senza porta. Una persona anziana sarebbe stata in seria difficoltà. Credo che la descrizione "2 camere da letto" non sia corretta.
  Aggiungo che ogni giorno dovevamo eliminare le formiche dalla cucina nonostante facessimo grande attenzione a non lasciare briciole di alcun genere in giro.

• Jean-alexandre from France – 23 July 2023 (9/10)

  Le charme de la décoration dans une maison traditionnelle l’emplacement dans un village, l’accueil de Christina.

• Gábor from Hungary – 17 July 2023 (9/10)

  The place was very interesting, spacious, with a great atmosphere of traditional Greek living. The kitchen is well equipped. The surroundings are tranquil and pleasant, walking about around the church and the castle are definitely worthwhile, one may even run into a deer or two in the outskirts. The locals are very friendly.
  
  What could be improved: The AC is very slightly noisy, a new sponge in the kitchen and one or two portions of washing powder for the washing machine would be nice.

• Silvio from Germany – 30 October 2022 (10/10)

  Sehr schönes traditionelles Haus mit guter Ausgangslage für Wanderungen und Ausflüge.
  Nettes kleines Bergdorf mit guten Restaurants.

• Andrea from Italy – 6 August 2022 (9/10)

  The house was very clean and complete with furnishings that in a clever way mix traditional elements with modern solutions. Although it does not have a dominant view over the valley, 1919's House is perfectly positioned in the village, being very close to the market, the restaurants and the parking for the auto.
  
  What could be improved: The arrangement of the beds on the mezzanine is a typical solution of the Dodecanese islands (we changed three structures during our holidays and we have always found them) and we like it. In this case, perhaps the mezzanine was too custom-made for us (the only space available except the bed was a narrow passage all around).
