Private, Very Spacious, Own Pool & spacious Gardens, near Beaches, real Greece

We proudly get 5 stars from everyone who has stayed with us.

Our location (coastal, mainland Greece) is untouched by the tourist crowds. Rugged coastlines to secluded beaches and olive groves, we exude tranquillity, serenity and a real Greece feel.

Coastal waters, perfect for swimming, sailing and diving
Charming villages, where time stands still.
10 minutes from a Greek seaside resort with a bustling, busy day and nightlife of bars, cafes, tavernas, sweet shops and more.
We boast a relaxed pace of life where you can truly unwind and connect with the peaceful atmosphere, nearby bars, cafes, cocktails bars, and a host of choices for eating out.
And just a walk from the villa into our village (3 minutes walking) are tavernas, coffee, chemist, supermarket, baker and butchers.

Whether exploring hidden coves, indulging in delicious local cuisine, or simply basking in the Mediterranean sun, we offer an unforgettable escape for those seeking an authentic Greek experience.

We're a stunning home.
Set in 1 acre of private gardens, trees, living space and pool.
Huge spaces, and completely child-friendly and safe.
A private pool in stunning surroundings.
Chill amongst many trees in our private gardens.
Walk less than 5' into our local village.
Take the day trip ferry to visit Skiathos. Or sail on your private, skippered, yacht for the day exploring empty beaches and tiny islands.
Day trip to ancient sites - Delphi, Meteora, or the enchanting mountain villages of Pelion.
Sip evening cocktails or lunch beachside at our nearby resort, just minutes away. Play tennis, kitesurf, or explore empty beaches for yourself.

The villa has every modern convenience, yet built on the site of an ancient bakery, and modernised throughout - with an award as one of mainland Greece's top 20 coastal villas.
Built of stone, with stone floors, cool inside w/out aircon, though all beds have large fans.

Modern fittings, luxurious touches, private and secure grounds covering over an acre.

We're a simple door-to-door motorway drive from Athens (225km), Thessaloniki or Volos airports (65km).

5 bedrooms for 9 (and a 6th not private spare room for 2 extra kids if needed to make 11)
3 rain shower bathrooms
A farmhouse-style kitchen with everything.
An inside dining room
A huge and spacious living room with several separate seating areas
Large terraces face the gardens
A private and large poolside with your BBQ area.
Our private grounds are fenced and gated, so very safe for kids to roam freely.

We also provide a complimentary external daily clean service (and optional inside maid service), so you can relax!

Set by the Aegean coast, we're in olive grove country. But whilst your living is relaxed, quiet and private, the area around us has tons of activities, with plenty of choices of both traditional tavernas and modern restaurants, several bars and clubs, tennis, beach volley and beach tennis, windsurfing, play areas for kids, live music at beachside concerts or the village tavernas, an award-winning vineyard next door for wine tasting/tours, sailing on the Aegean in your private yacht, and more. Plus day trips to the stunning sights of central Greece.

Spacious and relaxing living, with more than enough space for large groups to live comfortably and with privacy. The pool setting is breathtaking - swim and sun among protected stones and walling dating back over 1600 years.

The villa's sliding doors open it up to both gardens and pool, so we're very light and airy, yet stone walls and floors designed to stay cool inside - even through hot summer days - by a well-known Greek architect.

Local Village shops are a walk away.
The international vineyard is a 5-minute drive away - where we can arrange visits, tasting tours and dinners.
Just minutes drive away is Rahes, a busy and famous Greek beach resort with many beachside cafes, bars, tavernas, kids' entertainment and more - a wonderful, typically Greek, friendly, buzzing, nightlife experience where children can walk and roam safely as they meet and play with new friends late into the night.
We can also arrange day sailing on a private yacht, or you can catch small ferry boats for 20-minute trips to nearby islands. Real Greece is a very simple motorway drive from all airports in a stunning setting, and we're by the clear waters of the Aegean Sea.

Wonderful Family Holiday
We spent a wonderfully relaxing week with our extended family ages 7 months to 63 at Michael & Dimitria's beautiful and expansive home. The house was filled with comfortable spaces to lounge and congregate for meals, drinks and fun times in the pool. We enjoyed our short morning strolls to the local bakery, dinners at the local taverna accompanied by live bazouki music and short drives to the nearby beaches. We had a fun day on a sailboat arranged by Michael and also spent a day seeing the sights in Meteora. In between all this activity we lounged around and in the refreshing pool. The house was very clean and orderly. We especially enjoyed cooking for our crowd in the large well equipped kitchen. Michael & Dimitria were excellent hosts. If you're looking for a quiet Greek village without tourists but with a warm and friendly vibe, we recommend lovely Achinos.

A unique gem of a property!
A wonderful property nestled away in a delightful village. Michael (the host) couldn’t have been more attentive. Always on hand to help and advise if needed and would always greet you with a smile! The lovely pool was a godsend in 40 degree heat and kept the kids and adults well entertained. Raches is the nearest town and offered lots of lovely places to Eat and drink, plus some gorgeous beaches to enjoy. Thank you very much!

Absolutely wonderful
I had a good feeling about this holiday from the moment I booked. Michael was excellent at communicating with me and providing ideas of things to do in the area. His directions to the property were fantastic and the welcome we received was lovely. The weather was hot but the temperature of the house was constant with plentiful fans to circulate the air. The house was fully equipped and beautiful. It was very private, too. Michael and Dimitra were on hand to assist and recommend, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A perfect hideaway for a small family group (there were 7 of us) where everyone could do their own thing in one of the numerous, comfortable seating areas. We loved the un-touristy nature of the area, too, though the village had all we needed. I could go on, as I find it hard to find fault with this beautiful place. We would come back in an instant.

Long delayed - but worth the wait
We booked this property pre-covid (2019) and finally made the trip in August 2022. Over the intervening years Michael (our host) kept us informed of the position regards restrictions and even honoured our original booking price. When we finally arrived the property and location turned out to be better than advertised. Michael was the perfect host. He started by giving us an orientation tour of the adjacent two towns and gave us information of local activities and restaurants and helped us with our bookings including our day out sailing (a must!). Whenever we needed help - he was there! The mixture of pool time and beach was ideal. We felt that we had an authentic taste of Greece and in Raches, the nearby beachside town only heard Greek voices - lovely!!!

A Very Special Place
This villa was beautifully spacious with wonderful features, a large swimming pool area, well-equipped kitchen, and very comfortable beds. We were a family group of 10 with 3 generations and everyone found the villa comfortable. Michael and Demitria were welcoming with very helpful suggestions, always on hand to help with bookings for boat hire, restaurants and cultural attractions. Michael's maps are a thing of beauty! We hired a yacht for the day (with a wonderfully friendly and patient captain), visited the ancient sites of Meteora, Delphi, Thermopylae, had a couple of beach days (again with an excellent recommendation from Michael for a 5 star beach), and many enjoyable days relaxing, eating and drinking by the pool - the 2 grandmas loved shopping for shoes in Lamia. Thank you Michael and Demitria, your villa is amazing and we will always have very fond memories of our time in Achinos.

Charming greek house
Taking three generations away is always tricky as everyone expects something different from the experience. That is not the problem here! The house is huge, with plenty of space and seating areas, both inside and out, so all can have their own space. It is beautifully furnished and the fans kept us cool at night. The pool area was totally loved by my little ones who were in it every spare minute! There are lovely secure gardens around the building, and the kitchen is very well stocked. Nearby are beaches and lots of restaurants and bars to satisfy all tastes. The owner and his wife are onsite and were very helpful in suggesting trips and restaurants and even ordered our take-away for us! If you want a relaxing holiday in a typical Greek village, this is the place for you. We can't thank Michael enough for letting us share his lovely home.

Séjour paradisiaque au milieu des oliviers et loin de la foule
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la propriété de Michael au calme au cœur d'un village avec tous les commerces utiles à portée de pas, à cinq minutes d'une plage aménagée avec transats bon marché. La situation permet de profiter des lieux magiques à voir en deux heures en voiture et de retrouver le calme et la fraîcheur de la piscine le soir. L'accueil à été parfait, la propriété est très agréable à vivre avec de la place pour tout le monde ! Nous serions bien restés plus longtemps !
