Beautiful villa designed and built locally!
The house is even better than it looks like int he photos! It is situated in the mountains a short drive away from Volos airport. It is beautifully furnished with local material, for example the floor of the house is made of the wood from local dried wine casks and the stone floors are made from local stone. Designed and built by a local architect who also owns the house, the house is eco before eco was even a thing! The owner and his family are amazing people, big hearts, cultured, they are able to explain the history of the entire area, and engage you in conversations of any topic whatsoever! There are enough spaces in the house for at least a big family, with a well-equipped kitchen, huge spacious shared areas in the house, and a cozy outdoor seating area around the stone table. There is a separate guest house a bit further down, and a swimming pool behind the outdoor area, with a small ledge from which you can jump off from. Because of the pride the owner and family have in the house, it is very well-maintained and clean. The house is perfectly situated to go for hikes in the surrounding mountains, where there are wheat fields and goat herds. Life is very tranquil and authentic. The village is called 'village' in Greek, that's how small it is. Most of the villagers there know each other for generations and are extremely friendly. During our stay, we were invited for dinner to almost every house in the neighbourhood. The town centre is very cute and charming, residents sit outside and have mezze and drink ouzo while kids are playing under the stars. It is also a short drive away from the lake, where there are a few nice restaurants with cheap, delicious food, and a short drive away from the port, from which you can reach a few charming Greek islands. Highly recommend this property and the only pity is that I am not able to make it there several times a year.
