The house is situated centrally at 2-3 minutes walk from the traditional bakery, pharmacy, restaurants, mini markets, and the beautiful square of Lafkos. Lafkos is the perfect hub from which to discover South Pelion. From Lafkos a variety of beaches are accessible at a small driving distance as well as many day trip options (like Trikeri, Xinovrisi/Potistika, Pao beach, Mikro Beach, Vromoneri, Promiri, etc). The house has two floors and calm outside terraces. *On the ground floor there is a kitchen with solid olive/ chestnut furniture made by a local craftsman. The kitchen contains a cooking plate, a fridge (no freezer), a toaster, a coffee machine for Nespresso cups, a juicer, etc. *On the ground floor there is also a modest size bedroom with two single beds (90x200). The ground floor gives access to the bathroom with a spacious shower, toilet and washing machine (small loads). *On the first floor, accessible by internal staircase, there is a, loft style, open space (32m2) that serves as a space to live as well as a place to sleep (queen size bed of olive and chestnut, 160x210). The first floor is spacious, airy and very light. It has dimmable lights in the ceiling. From the two windows facing West, one can enjoy wonderful views / sunsets towards the ‘Pagasitikos Bay’. Daylight can be blocked by closing the shutters. All windows (except for one) have mosquito nets. *In the period of Oktober - May the two new (French) cast iron wood stoves (kitchen and first floor) can be used as a way of heating the house.

Pelion has a very attractive climate and every season has its own particular charm. It is even more magical outside high season. Enjoy the wonderful “indian summer” in November - December! *Is Lafkos hot in the summer? Compared to many destinations in Greece, Pelion does not tend to be very warm in summer. Lafkos village is situated at a height of approximately 300 meters and the elevated parts of the village enjoy a wonderful fresh breeze on most summer days, creating a very pleasant temperature. It happens now and then that even in August one feels comfortable wearing a sweater in the evening. This local Lafkos phenomenon is quite different from the experience in coastal towns like the closeby town of Milina, where airconditioning is necessary most of the summer, especially in concrete structures. This stone house, properly used, almost never needs airconditioning and a light breeze from the standing ventilators on warmer days is enough to ensure a comfortable sleep. Being a stone house with very thick walls, the house has a ‘sense of freshness’ which is often hard to find in modern concrete structures. The reason why the house nevertheless has airconditioning (installed in 2025) is to be compliant with Greek legislation. Guest access The house is completely yours to enjoy.
