Views don’t get much better than these. This villa is perched on a sloping mountain, with Pagasitikos Bay spanning ahead. It’s a place to truly connect with nature, whether that’s by exploring on a mountain bike, savouring a coffee while taking in the view, or making lunch with your host’s homegrown vegetables and herbs. Having your own pool is one thing, but this hillside infinity pool is another thing entirely. Close the distance between you and the sea, swimming to the edge for unobstructed views. And on clear days (which really, is most days in Greece) you’ll see the dramatic mountains ahead, melting into the bay. Let the hours pass by blissfully, swinging in the hammock, reading by the pool, or playing a game of cards on the patio, until dinnertime. Whip up homemade pizzas or Greek barbecued feasts with the outdoor stone baking oven. There’s an authenticity to this home that isn’t apparent in all Greek villas. Inside, the cream walls and swaths of dark wood perfectly embody a traditional hillside home. It might not be the most luxurious, but it’s bursting with character. Embrace the authenticity and explore your location of Agios Vlasios, a small, ancient village, and other nearby... towns. Despite being on a hillside, you’re never far from a beach – spend days on the soft, golden sands of the Pagasetic Gulf.

This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
