A Writer's House

A two-storey traditional stone house, fully equipped, wi-fi included, comfortable and cool, ideal for those who want the experience of the Greek summer in one of the most picturesque mountain villages in the Peloponnese, combining laceful beaches (5 -10 minutes by car), walks on the verdant mountains or the ancient treasures (Olympia, Mycenae, Epidavros) as well as the colorful vibrancy of the neighboring cities (Akrata, Aigio, Patras etc.) The space The house is built in the heart of Ano Platanos, a 19th century hilly village overlooking the sea. The thick stone walls and stone-paved floors, the wooden ceilings and the old frames are elements of the local architecture we respected. The unique view, the feeling of village life, the surrounding nature and sunlit gardens offer real off the beaten track experiences of the Greek summer in Egialia. This house inspired and gave birth, among other things, to some great writing; successfull TV series such as The Guards of Achaia or The Bypass, films such as Slaves in their Bonds or Illusion, novels and short stories have all been created right here. Soula (Pierrakou), a Greek writer who lived in this house and loved it with all her heart, used to say that vacationing in it always had the magical ability to calm you and recharge your batteries. She was absolutely right! Today this house opens its doors by Yannis, her son and a writer as well, and invites everyone to discover the unique beauties of the area in an authentic and inspiring environment. Guest access The whole property is accessible to the guests, both indoors and outdoors: 4 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, study room, two bathrooms, veranda, yard and a small vegetable garden. All rooms renovated in April 2018. Other things to note Useful notes: The two floors of the house communicate with an internal staircase. Each floor has its own bathroom with hot water, but also a fridge and fountains. The house is so cool that it does not need AC. Young children need supervision when playing in the yard or on the veranda. They can also play in the big square of the village, next to the house. Some means of transport (eg. car hire) is necessary for shopping in the city as well as for the sea and nearby excursions. The village has cafes and tavernas with traditional greek plates. There are treats and a few basic things in the kitchen for snacking or coffee time, but not a hotel-type everyday breakfast. Registration Details 00000035189
