The best of both worlds - rural, real Greece, setting in a private, tranquil and spacious villa and grounds, near many beaches, but in an area where Athenians weekend - so lots of sophisticated bars, cafe's and restaurants to discover beachside, in tiny villages, and all within easy reach. You're just minutes from several beaches and clean seas anda walk to local village shops - a bakery, butcher, kafeneons, a mini supermarket, a Church and a children’s playground. Quiet roads and walks, very safe for children, ancient monuments 5 minutes away, Location is ideal for visiting Meteora, Delphi, Pelion mountains. 10 minutes away you have every amenity from doctors, hospitals, chemists, supermarkets, train and bus stations. It's peaceful, idyllic, and real Greece in beautiful surroundings and a stunning setting. As previous guests have said of the House, 'an Oasis!'. 'Unique' and 'Very Speci

Worth a visit

The Major Bedford, England
Review Submitted: December 12, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
A relatively easy drive from Athens airport on the recently upgraded highway. Set in a small rural Greek village but within easy access of large towns and the sea side town of Rahes which is excellent for evening entertainment - great bars and restaurants. An interesting villa very different from the norm and incorporated with ancient walls from what used to be an old bakery and stables. A large property and very spacious with comfortable furnishings. The pool area is great and many wonderful evenings were spent in this area; the chef night is well worth doing and you will need your Greek dancing shoes! A car is highly recommended if you want to visit the beaches, but public transport is available. Within easy reach of many cultural sights. A most enjoyable and different experience for a holiday away from the usual summer holiday crowds. We were well looked after by the owner who was always willing to help with any questions or queries. Worth a go!

Review Submitted: January 2, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
having had many holidays on Greek Islands we decided to visit mainland greece and chose the villa in achinos. It was a lovely holiday from start to finish. Lovely clean spacious villa with great views and swimming pool to cool you down. Even if you are in a large party ( we were smallish) there is plenty of room for peace and quiet. There are plenty of good resturants in the village and surrounding area. If you want entertainment there is the town of Raches (nice beach there also) and Lamia is about 20/30mins away. We had a car, however the children used public transport which was fine and also we had a taxi occasionally in the evening... We like our wine!!
We found the owner very helpfull and not at all pushy Nothing was too much trouble for him. I would strongly recommend this villa.
