Description

NO LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS
MINIMUM STAY 1 WEEK
These 3 charming old country villas are beautifully positioned in unspoilt countryside, surrounded by mountains and acres of olive groves, on the edge of the tiny village of Filippou.

These neighbouring stone houses have been lovingly restored and somehow without losing their ethnic character they provide a good degree of modern comfort. They are traditionally furnished in wood and stone, each with an individual look. The authentic details include old stone walls, beamed ceilings, traditional furnishings, and lots of nice decorative touches. Country lovers and those who like an authentic style will love this setting. The nearest shops and taverns are within easy reach, some 2km away while the long sandy beach of Georgioupolis is 10 km away.

The traditional stone houses are refreshingly cool during the long hot summer and warm in winter. Each house is suitable for up to 6 guests. They have two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, living room with fire place, private facilities with shower and parking.

A car is essential as the small town of Vrisses is 3km away and there you will find all that you need, even good traditional taverns. The villas are only 10 minutes drive to the long sandy beach where you can enjoy horse riding or water sport activities. Other options are trips to the south, the gorge of Imbros, Aradena and the beach of Frankokastello is only 1 hour away.

Cleaning and change of linen is once a week.
