About this villa rental

See our video tour in the photo gallery.
Style and character are everything here, and our villa has this in spades. It's a unique home in a 'real Greece' location that is perfect for families and ‘wow’'s everyone who stays with us.

Once you book, we don't stop there. You'll be in good hands to arrange fridge stocking, daily external housekeeping, booking sailing, wine tasting, and more to make your stay truly memorable.

We are proud to have had five stars from everybody who has stayed with us.

We're offering super discounts for some dates in July and late August.

Our location (east coast, mainland Greece, north of Athens) is untouched by mass tourism.

With rugged coastlines, secluded beaches, and olive groves, we exude tranquillity, serenity, and a Real Greece feel.
We are on the edge of a busy village with tavernas, a chemist, a supermarket, a bakery, and a butcher, a quick walk from us.

Coastal waters are perfect for swimming, and you can go sailing and diving.
Nearby is a kite sailing bay (holds international competitions)
Charming local villages where time stands still.
You're even just 10 minutes from a well-known, busy Greek seaside resort - so you can enjoy a nightlife of bars, cafes, tavernas, sweet shops and more.

Our villa is a relaxed and quiet space where you can unwind and connect with our peaceful atmosphere. The villa is about 5002M of living space on grounds of about 1 acre. Ample space for large groups to still have some relaxation and privacy.


You can explore hidden coves, indulge in lovely local cuisine, or simply bask by the pool in the sun; we're an unforgettable escape for those seeking an authentic Greek experience.

We're a stunning home. We've even won an award for it.
It is set in private gardens, trees, living spaces, and a pool area.
And, completely child-friendly and safe.
A private pool in stunning ancient surroundings.
Chill amongst many trees in our private gardens.
Take the day trip ferry to visit Skiathos. 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 at the beachside at our nearby resort, just minutes away. Play tennis, kitesurf, or explore empty beaches for yourself.

The villa has an award (The Times) as one of mainland Greece's top 20 coastal villas.
Built of stone, with stone floors, it stays cool inside and opens onto large terraces, gardens, or the private pool area.

Modern fittings, luxurious touches, private and secure.

We're a straightforward door-to-door motorway drive from Athens (2 hrs), Thessaloniki (3 hrs), or Volos airports (30 minutes).

5 bedrooms for 9 (+ a 6th, not private, spare room ideal for two extra kids to make 11)
3 rain shower bathrooms
A farmhouse-style kitchen with everything.
An inside dining room with an open fire (but you probably won't use it!)
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 it is 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!

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.

The pool setting is breathtaking - swim and sun among protected stones and walling dating back over 1600 years.


An international vineyard is a 5-minute drive away - and we can arrange visits, tasting tours and dinners there.

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 arrange a 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.

We had the most amazing time in Achinos at Michael’s villa. The pictures don’t even come close to showing how beautiful it really is! Michael was always around to help with any questions and had so many great recommendations. He and his wife are such wonderful hosts. The villa is gorgeous, and the village has everything you need — a supermarket and some lovely restaurants all within walking distance. My nephew even learned to kite surf at a nearby camp, which was such a highlight! The beaches are stunning and everyone we met was so kind and welcoming.Thank you, Michael, for an unforgettable week in your beautiful villa. You and your wife are such lovely people, and we can’t wait to come back one day!

The property is in a village with a small supermarket, bar, coffee shop and restaurant. However, I would recommend you have a car to access a greater variety of amenities and the beach. There were very few international tourists, although the the area is popular with Greeks. If you expect a tourist hot spot such on many of the the Greek Islands you will be disappointed. Most restaurants did have English menus but not all so you may need to use Google translate - if you don't speak Greek of course.We found the locals and business owners to be really friendly, welcoming and helpful. The property is well appointed with large open plan living spaces. The bathrooms are all modern. There are 3 good sized double bedrooms. The single room and the twin bedrooms are quite small. We were a family group of 9 adults and the sleeping arrangements worked fine for us. Michael is a great host. The communication with him was detailed and timely. He organised wine tasting, boat rental and restaurant bookings.

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!

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.
