Villa Amanti, a Charming Traditional Old Stone House in Pelion.

A little outside Volos, at the foot of Centaur Mountain, you come across a lovely, charming, and above all, peaceful little village: Ano Gatzea.
Just two kilometers from the seaside fishing village of Kato Gatzea are a few houses scattered across the mountainside, a church, a tavern, the Olive Museum, and the Old Station. This is Ano Gatzea.
In the olive orchard beside the church, a house from a previous century was brooding in silence, steeped in memories, waiting to be filled again with sounds, colors, images and emotions.
In 2007, it came into the hands of the younger members of the family that had owned it for all of a century. Amalia and Antigone fell in love with this house and its surroundings, and with zest and zeal they decided to bring the house back to life, while retaining its character and charm.
Gradually, it turned into a retreat for family vacations and a starting point for group excursions. Friends could relax, children could build memories of summer holidays, and the two women themselves had found a refuge, a place to escape from the crazy commotion of Athens.
Realizing their friends’ enthusiasm and the children’s delight, they felt they should share it with others. Thus came the idea of renting. This house should not remain empty on days that none of their family or friends were able to visit.
They christened it “Villa Amanti” from the first few letters of their names. Amanti, which in Italian means lovers: lovers of the past, the present, of life, of joy and happiness…
And they offer it to you, for your own unforgettable moments.

Whether you are a couple, a company of friends, a group, or a family with children, this is the ideal place, because the feeling you are left with after a few days in the house is that “there is plenty of room for everyone, with no overcrowding.”

Moments that people have experienced in the house and have become indelibly etched on their memory could become your own memories too:

Reading by the morning light on the balcony; cooking together in the kitchen; yoga on the lawn in the lower courtyard; endless conversations and Scrabble matches with good wine in front of the fireplace; dancing under the stars in the moonlight; feasts with guitars around the garden table, with the barbecue aglow and your hearts floating free.

All will find their own little nook.

How can you say no:

• to a traditional house, by both sea and mountain, remote but at the same time so close to Volos, from where you can set off to the picturesque villages of Pelion and their magical beaches, to the ski center, or the nearby islands?
• to a comfortable house, where you can go with your entire company, all year round, and do nothing but chat, play, and cook with your friends?
• to a charming house, for spending a romantic weekend, with endless relaxation and walks to the traditional taverns?
• to a beautiful house, for family vacations, where you can enjoy your coffee on the balcony without worrying about the children, while they play safely in the playground or have fun with the various board games that come with the house?

Jennifer Z., Germany

Perfect house in a perfect location
We (two families, 10 people altogether) loved every minute of our stay. A lot of love and thought has been put into this house. There was delicious fresh fruit on the table when we arrived, the fridge was full of other goodies, the beds were very comfortable, the view from the terrace is stunning etc.... Antigoni was very friendly and helpful - we really can't fault this place! It was a pleasure going down to the beach through the beautiful olive groves where we found nice clear water to bathe in and little, friendly tavernas serving delicious food at the end of the walk. There are also plenty of other things to do near Ano Gatzea - one week was far too short! Would love to come again.

Martijn B., Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Comfortable, atmospheric, helpful owners
Stayed for 1 week with 4 adults and 5 children. Enough space, certainly considering that its an old house. Which gives lot of atmosphere. Carefully decorated, very helpful host, eg reservations, tickets, local information. In summer, a pool is missing, but plenty of choice from nearby (15-45min drive) beaches
