First Residence

The first house used to be an old warehouse, which dates back over 100 years. It is an area of 60 sq.m. and can accommodate 2 people in its double bedroom, making ideal for couples. The room is built on a rock which is visible on the floor and the walls, as well as on the open fireplace. The room is also equipped with a siting and a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen. For the kitchen table an old “volosyros” was used (a tool used in agriculture for crushing the wheat or barley in the threshing floor and it was pulled by a horse or an ox) and the area in general is decorated with various old objects used by the people of the village many years ago, for their daily needs, such as earthenware jars to store oil or vinegar, a sieve for flour, a “volista” for peas, a “thrinaki” for wheat, a shovel for baking bread, oil lamps etc. Finally, a bathroom with shower can be found in this house.

Second Residence

“wonderful holiday experience for all our group.”

Reviewed 25 Aug 2018

Lovely group of villas from a wonderful, well thought out conversion of traditional buildings with a pool surrounded by gardens with lots of secluded seating areas and great BBQ facilities. Located in small traditional village with beautiful views across the valley up into the mountains. The local neighbours were very friendly and welcoming. We were a family group of 12 with 3 generations and were all comfortable in both indoors and outside areas, we had everything we needed. Closest taverna a short drive away was great, although only limited menu, but excellent value and very friendly. Would certainly love to stay here again.
