A Location Unlike Anywhere Else

Our village is one of Greece's hidden gems. It sits on a famous ancient village dating back some 3,000 years, with Venetian, Moorish and Roman artefacts.

You're surrounded by quiet beaches, rugged coastline, traditional tavernas, and welcoming locals, yet everything you need is just a short walk away—including bakeries, supermarkets, cafés, pharmacies and local shops.

Just 10 minutes away is the vibrant seaside resort of Raches, famous for its relaxed beach bars, waterfront tavernas, cafés, live music, and family-friendly nightlife where children can safely enjoy warm Greek evenings.

The area is a paradise for outdoor lovers:

Swim in clear Aegean waters
Explore hidden coves and empty beaches
Go sailing, diving or kite surfing
Visit the beautiful villages and monasteries of Mount Pelion
Take a ferry to Skiathos
Enjoy day trips to Delphi or Meteora
Visit the award-winning vineyard just five minutes away for tastings and experiences

You can mix adventure, real Greece, and complete relaxation; everything is within easy reach.

Space to Relax Together

Set within approximately one acre with private gardens, the villa offers exceptional privacy and space for everyone.

5 bedrooms sleeping up to 9 guests
Optional sixth sleeping area for 2 additional children (11 guests total)
3 luxury rain-shower bathrooms
Large farmhouse kitchen
Spacious dining room
Expansive living room with multiple seating areas
Large terraces overlooking the gardens
Private swimming pool with BBQ area
Secure gated grounds that are perfect for families with children

One of the villa's most unique features is the spectacular pool setting, where you can swim among beautifully preserved stone walls dating back over 1,600 years—an unforgettable backdrop.

Fruit trees, shaded gardens, lawns, peaceful terraces and complete privacy create a setting you may not want to leave.

Easy to Reach

Despite feeling wonderfully undiscovered, we're incredibly accessible as it's a simple door-to-door motorway drive from every airport.

Around 2 hours from Athens
Around 3 hours from Thessaloniki
Just 30 minutes from Volos Airport, with seasonal direct flights from Düsseldorf, Brussels, Katowice and Brno

Why Guests Keep Returning
Our guests consistently tell us the same thing:

It's the combination of the villa, the location, the authentic Greek atmosphere, and the personal service that makes this a truly special place.

This isn't simply a luxury villa.

It's the Greece that many visitors never get to experience.

Watch our video tour in the photo gallery, explore the villa for yourself, and if you have any questions, simply send us a message. We'd love to help you plan an unforgettable Greek escape.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Cooper

Host profile image
I'm a writer, pilot and artist spending my time between Greece and the UK.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this unfinished house and, wanting something very spacious with lots of light and colour, original in design, but with nearby nightlife and sea I completed its modernisation over several years. From the front terraces I'm surrounded by garden trees - lemon, pine, fig plum and cherry. From the rear pool area I can lounge in privacy, among ancient history. I rent my villa out because I enjoy meeting guests from around the world, and over the last 12 years have made some special new friends.

What makes this property unique

There is no other property like this in Greece. It is, genuinely , unique in design and in atmosphere - luxury set among ancient stones and walls, some dating back 1,600 years - in the exterior grounds. It's a perfect location for travelers wanting to experience real Greece, in peace and quiet. We're very private and secure (especially great for kids who can roam the gardens freely), with a sense of space (over 500m2 of living space inside the house), but with contemporary Greece's beachside bar's, cafe's and seaside taverna's all just 5 minutes drive away in the nearby popular resort. It's the best of old and new Greece, on your doorstep. Stunning archeology, olive groves and coast surround you, and one of Greece's best international vineyards is on our doorstep for complimentary visiting and tasting. The UNESCO Heritage site of Meteora, and Delphi and Thermoplyae, together with the beautiful mountain region of Pelion with its stunning villages and beaches, and even Thesslaoniki are fascinating day trips from the house. It's no wonder the UK Times named us one of the 20 best seaside villas in Greece.
