Description from owner

Description

In Ano Gatzea , in the olive orchard beside the church, a house from a previous century was brooding in silence, steeped in memories, waiting to be filled again with sounds, colors, images and emotions.

In 2007, it came into the hands of the younger members of the family that had owned it for all of a century. Amalia and Antigone fell in love with this house and its surroundings, and with zest and zeal they decided to bring the house back to life, while retaining its character and charm.Gradually, it turned into a retreat for family vacations and a starting point for group excursions. Friends could relax, children could build memories of summer holidays, and the two women themselves had found a refuge, a place to escape from the crazy commotion of Athens.Realizing their friends' enthusiasm and the children's delight, they felt they should share it with others.

Thus came the idea of renting. This house should not remain empty on days that none of their family or friends were able to visit.

They christened it “Villa Amanti” from the first few letters of their names. Amanti, which in Italian means lovers: lovers of the past, the present, of life, of joy and happiness…

And they offer it to you, for your own unforgettable moments.Whether you are a couple, a company of friends, a group, or a family with children, this is the ideal place, because the feeling you are left with after a few days in the house is that “there is plenty of room for everyone, with no overcrowding. Villa Amanti can accommodate up to 10 guests (max. 8 adults) in two bedrooms with double beds, one bedroom with two twin beds and one bedroom with two bunk beds.There are two bathrooms en suite for the bedrooms with the double beds and one shared bathroom for the bedrooms with the single beds and the bunk beds.

Moments that people have experienced in the house and have become indelibly etched on their memory could become your own memories too:Reading by the morning light on the balcony; cooking together in the kitchen; yoga on the lawn in the lower courtyard; endless conversations and Scrabble matches with good wine in front of the fireplace; dancing under the stars in the moonlight; feasts with guitars around the garden table, with the barbecue aglow and your hearts floating free.All will find their own little nook.

How can you say no:

•to a traditional house, by both sea and mountain, remote but at the same time so close to Volos, from where you can set off to the picturesque villages of Pelion and their magical beaches, to the ski center, or the nearby islands?

•to a comfortable house, where you can go with your entire company, all year round, and do nothing but chat, play, and cook with your friends?• to a charming house, for spending a romantic weekend, with endless relaxation and walks to the traditional taverns?

•to a beautiful house, for family vacations, where you can enjoy your coffee on the balcony without worrying about the children, while they play safely in the playground or have fun with the various board games that come with the house?

“perfect”

Reviewed 16 Sep 2015

So all the other reviewers are right this is a fantastic place to stay. My advice is, if it matches your specification then do not hesitate snap it up. The Villa is as it appears in the pictures, it is a charming old stone house set on the side of a hill with the most amazing views. What is good about it? First the welcome, despite several changes in our arrival time Amalia accommodated us and had the house in a beautiful sate for our arrival, she even did extra shopping for us in advance because the shops were closed. The house is so well stocked; from kitchen gadgets to beach and bath towels if you wanted it, it was there. No need for a rush round the shops to buy loo roll, tea or clothes pegs, they were all to hand. There were so many lovely touches like fresh herbs, books and toys for children and organic bathroom products. If you are travelling with children or by plane I would strongly advise that you check what they have as it may seriously lighten your luggage and make your life easier to find that stair gate / game of Othello / coffee maker is already there. The hosts are so good they will even get things in, we asked for hula hoops and they arrived! Everything was spotlessly cleaned and well maintained, inside and out, the lovely guest towels and sheets made everything feel touched with a little luxury. The location is great for beaches and there is taverna in a very short distance from the Villa where you can eat in the later half of every week. See the very bottom of the review for a few local tips. The house and garden is comfortable as it is set on a mountain it is not massive, yet despite that there are so many different places to stop, relax, read a book, admire the view drink coffee or beer, I don’t feel we did it justice in only 2 weeks. What is bad about the house? Well the kitchen is a little small, but was never a problem for us, Greek mountain driving in the dark was a bit scary on arrival and it is hard enough to go home from holidays, going home from here was nearly impossible. If this property is the right size and location for you - grab it before someone else does. Local tips: You can walk to the shops and 2 beaches by turning down the hill after the taverna past the goats. Hold to the path to get to the small local beach but pull off a little to the left following the red paint marks to get to the bakers and the Rivera resort and beach. The closest beach is super for swimming and has a changing cubicle and beach shower, but you would need to carry stuff down there if you want to sun bathe. Rivera is a smart beach resort where you can use the various sun beds and facilities (clean loos) as long as you buy the occasional drink. We even swam from the closest beach to Rivera for a mojito and back quite easily. If you drive to Kalo Nera then the bakery at the turn off to the town has the most amazing cakes and ice cream cake. If you are driving to beaches on the other side of Pelion and you are not used to driving in Greece PLEASE talk to Amalia about the access roads - some of the beaches are quiet and un-spoilt for a good reason. I hope that you enjoy this Villa as much as we did.

“Beautiful villa, great location, wonderful hosts”

Reviewed 14 Apr 2015

We spent an Easter weekend at Villa Amanti with three children and three adults. Antigoni and Amalia provided us with a wonderfully warm welcome and took care of us with a great sense of hospitality throughout our stay. This will not be our last stay in Villa Amanti! The villa itself is located in a small, quiet village, with a restaurant a few meters away. It is spacious, beautifully kept and furnished with great taste, and was absolutely immaculate on arrival. Amalia even organized food stocks for our first day (a bank holiday), incl. coffee, jams, bread, milk etc.. We could not have wished for a warmer welcome. Villa Amanti has great rooms inside - our kids loved the bunk beds, toys etc., we loved the sitting area and fire place - and more than enough space outside, incl. a separate space with football area, swings etc. for the children. More than anything, though, it is a great base for exploration of wonderful Pilion, incl. the railway, the mountain villages and the many beaches. A recommendation for anyone who wants to discover this beautiful area.

“EXCELLENT PROPERTY: FULLY EQUIPPED HOUSE, SUITABLE FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, PERFECT LOCATION, BETTER THAN EXPECTED”

Reviewed 4 Jan 2015

We are a group of 11 people (3 families with childern). The house was far better than what we saw advertised on the Internet site. Great,quiet location with excellent view and parking space just outside the house, 10-30 mins. drive from the more touristic areas.All rooms had this personal touch that makes you feel at home. You don't need to bring anything from home because it has everything from hair dryer,washing machine to wine,homemade bread,spaghetti sauce, jam and lots of delicacies. THE BEST PART OF THE HOUSE WAS THE CHILDREN'S BEDROOM WITH THE BUNK BEDS (WHICH EASILY ACCOMMODATED 5 CHILDREN OF 7-16 yrs). THE ROOM OFFERED ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL TASTES AND AGES : T.V, PLAYSTATION + PSP GAMES, DRAWING SETS WITH PENCILS, BOARD GAMES AND BOOKS (EVEN FOR THE GROWN-UPS),PUZZLES, DVD PLAYER.THANKS 'VILLA AMANTI' (AND OWNERS)!!

Response from the owner Thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind review for our villa. We really appreciate it and we are very happy to know that you and your family enjoyed your Christmas vacations in Villa Amanti. Having our own children, we know very well that if parents want to relax and enjoy themselves, their children should be entertained and satisfied. That's why we try to offer this to the families who visit us. Looking forward to see you again soon Amalia & Antigoni
