Zeusplace Skotina Country House

This was a great stay for us! We chose it because of the spacious inside and also for the outdoor garden all around. It was a combined stay for both leisure & days with work, so we really needed good wifi, which we got and we didn't have any breakdowns (however, we didn't use too much for streaming or Netflix, so can't say how much the modem would be able to sustain both work & streaming concurrently). Now, the entire place was clean, comfortable and had basically everything you need for a great stay. The beds were comfortable (although 1 of them was a little squeaky, but not too much) and big enough. The 3 bathrooms are perfect, so if you have more people staying it is very convenient and welcomed. They were also very clean and no complaints from us about them. No problems with the hot water at all (big enough boiler on the roof). The kitchen has enough plates, silverware, pots, pans and other utensils needed. We had welcome coffee, snacks, ouzo & water (you can safely drink the tap water as it is sourced directly from the hills of Mt. Olympus nearby). Keep in mind that you are completely disconnected here: the electricity is only solar panels (we had enough, day & night) & water heating from roof solar reservoir/boiler. Sometimes it could feel a bit isolated as we were actually not that close to the main village nearby (Skotina), but this is what we wanted. However, around us there were other people's gardens/ lands (not permanently used houses) and for at least one of the gardens (across the road) there were almost daily 1-2 neighbors coming there to work or take care of a few animals (mainly chickens, cats, dogs). So it was nice to still hear some people around :) The garden is one of the main pluses of the houses: it has many trees (olives, hazelnuts, apple, pomegranate, pear, kaki, nice tilia/ linder tree on the main pathway with a little swing), grapevine all around (delicious grapes).

We could manage without these, but maybe keep in mind as improvements :) 1-2 larger knives could be added, besides the smaller ones we used. Also, for longer stays it would be useful to have a washing machine.

Dům, zahrada, lokalita, ticho, soukromí.

Pro grilování chyběl rošt, takže jsme bohužel negrilovali a chyběly také nože v kuchyni. Jinak moc pěkné.
