Rooms to let and short rentals in Donousa
"Rooms to let" is a category that the Cyclades takes seriously. Family-run studios, pensions and small guesthouses are the backbone of how Greeks have stayed in Donousa for decades — simple, clean, usually with a terrace, a kitchenette and a grandmother who tells you where to eat. On this page they appear alongside the full hotel catalogue; filter by price and stars to surface the rooms-to-let tier.
Short-term rentals in Donousa sit under Greece's AKA registration scheme (every licensed listing has an "ΑΜΑ" number). The legitimate inventory in Donousa is lighter than Athens or Mykonos-town because many Donousa owners prefer seasonal long lets to nightly bookings. Whenever a property is available as a short-term let we list it here; whole-house stays and private villas sit under our villa programme.
If you would rather stay in a whole villa with pool, chef and concierge than a hotel room, open the villas page below — we work with curated partners in Donousa who handle the logistics end-to-end.

Whole-house stays with pool, optional chef, daily housekeeping and a concierge who knows every beach and tavern on the island. We work with a handful of hand-picked operators — not 40,000 anonymous listings.
