About this house rental
The house is a two and a half floor building, surrounding by a beautiful garden with a BBQ, right in front on a quiet beach, one hour and 30 minutes by car from Athens. The place is a small piece of paradise, for splendid holidays for you, your family and friends. It should be considered for winter vacations also (up to 12 persons during winter season). Besides the two fire places and central heating, the mountainous village Trikala is only 30 minutes away by car, and the ski center of Zeiria 35 minutes away.
The ground floor comprises a living room, one bedroom with a double bed (144 x 194 cm), a bathroom and a kitchen. Each room has its own balcony, with a spectacular view. Especially from the front balcony one enjoys the garden view, the sea view and beyond, reaching to the Parnassos mountain. The first floor has two bedrooms, one with a double bed (140 x 214 cm) with a spectacular sea view, the other with a double bed (140 x 218 cm) and a single bed (90 x 190 cm), a bathroom and a living room connected with a small kitchen. As you can see from the photos, this second living room may be used as a separate bedroom with two single beds (90 x 185 cm and 86 x 195 cm). The half-ground floor has an independent entrance, hosts the most spacious bedroom of the house and includes a bathroom with a shower. It used to be the guestroom of the house or the playroom for the children, with two single beds (90 x 190 cm each) and a sofa bed (it is transformed in a double bed 140 x 186 cm). All bedrooms are air-conditioned except the half-ground one since it is inherently cool even during the hot summer days.
The main kitchen of the house is fully equipped with four with an electric oven, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a microwave oven, a toaster, a coffee maker and everything else you need, to prepare and enjoy your meals. The smaller kitchen of the house is equipped with a small cooking unit, a small refrigerator and a coffee maker.
All three bathrooms of the house offer amenities as bath foam, shampoo, conditioner and body milk.
Also the house has a camp bed and a baby coat.
In the garden of the house there is parking space for three cars and a BBQ as well.
Additonal appliances: 3 TV sets, WiFi, sun umbrellas and sun beds.
Α “hidden” beauty of the place is the clear starry sky. Away for the city lights, in a clean atmosphere, the house balcony is a window to constellations and the galaxy light. Moreover the moon rise is spectacular when it is getting full, as well as the sunrise for those who are early morning types.
During summer, in 450m from the house there is a beautiful restaurant bar, named “Arivalos”. There you can find tasteful meals and even sushi sometimes. The house is two minutes by car, from Xylokastro, a seaside small town famous for its pine forest on the beach, call Pefkias. Pefkias is a thin strip of natural pinewoods, at an area of 60.875 acres, which includes 83 different species of the Greek flora, and it has been characterized as an aesthetic forest. In Xylokastro you can find many restaurants, fish taverns, bars, two summer cinemas, and a wonderful cycle path next to the sea side.
Maria Christina's house is:
By car: 90 minutes from Athens "E. Venizelos" airport
By train: 80 minutes from Athens "E. Venizelos" airport to the town of Kiato, 10 km away from Xylokastro.
By bus: Frequent (every 60 minutes) departures from Athens Peloponnese bus station to Xylokastro and vice versa. Trip duration is 90 minutes.
The price does not include climate crisis resilience fee, imposed by the Greek state in 2024 (April to October 15 Euros per day and November to March 4 Euros per day. The sum of the fee can change any time)

We really enjoyed this quirky house on the water. The views from the windows were beautiful and it was nice and quiet at night with only the sounds of the waves. The two gentlemen who met us to check in and out were very helpful and easy to contact by Whatsapp or phone. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. Do be prepared for some quirkiness from an older Greek building, such as needing to flip the breakers for the water heaters. This house could sleep a ton of people - there are many beds! Many of the mattresses seem brand new and are quite hard, but that is just a matter of personal preference. Also, please look carefully at photos if your group has any mobility issues - there are a couple steps down from the door to the main living area, and spiral stairs up or down to most of the bedrooms. None of this bothered us at all - just sharing for future visitors to be aware. Thanks for a lovely stay - hopefully we'll be back someday! :)

Maria's place was awesome for us to stay a week and a half. 5 of us total and we barely needed any of the space. Hopefully in the future, we'll bring our whole big extended family back to stay again.

Location is good, house is on the beach and you access the sea from the backyard. The beach is narrow and with pebbles, but we found sunbeds at the location and it was fine.
The place is quiet, yet close to the town (by car), however you have a very good restaurant you can walk to.
Many thanks to Maria for hosting us and thanks to Vasilis for his tips regarding suroundings.

... ob man sich in einem Haus wohlfühlen kann, in welchem offensichtlich die Familie seit geraumer Zeit viele Einrichtungsgegenstände aus verschiedenen Epochen, inklusive Geschirr, Besteck etc sammelt. Natürlich mag es der Inhaberin oder dem Inhaber schwer fallen, sich von solchen Dingen zu trennen. Für uns als Urlauber macht es den Eindruck eines Haushaltes im Beginn eines 'Messi'-Zustandes. Wir hatten dieses Haus ursprünglich für weitere 3 Monate im Sommer 2019 gebucht, haben davon aber Abstand genommen. Was uns in diesem Zusammenhang ebenfalls gewundert hat ist, dass vor dem Hintergrund, dass wir bereit waren insgesamt einen stolzen, 5-stelligen Euro-Betrag auszugeben, bei der Schlüsselübergabe durch die Agentur erst einmal alle Fensterläden geöffnet werden mussten und weitere Mängel festgestellt wurden. Das Haus und der Garten hatten unter dem Medicane der vergangenen Woche gelitten - da ist jeder machtlos und das wird natürlich auch nicht negativ bewertet - dass aber keinerlei Anstalten gemacht wurden, die Feuchtigkeit aus dem Haus zu vertreiben (intensives Lüften hätte sicher den Modergeruch vertrieben), wunderte uns sehr. Auch wurde erst bei Übergabe festgestellt, dass das Licht in der Küche nicht funktioniert. Die Heizung war in der ganzen Woche (es war durchaus kalt in den Nächten Anfang Oktober) nicht funktionstüchtig - wir haben uns dann halt in dem einen oder anderen Raum mit Heizöfen beholfen. Ob Altmetall, ausrangierte Stühle, ein nicht mehr funktionsfähiges Boot u.ä. im Garten toleriert werden müssen, lässt sich diskutieren, ebenso wie diverse Putzmittel, die über die Terrassen verteilt sind. Insgesamt haben wir uns nicht recht wohl gefühlt, obwohl die Kommunikation mit Maria vor, während und nach unserem Aufenthalt immer zügig und professionell war. Letztlich noch die Empfehlung, die Bilder des Angebotes der Realität anzupassen, denn die beiden Palmen sind inzwischen einer grassierenden Krankheit zum Opfer gefallen. Es stehen nur noch traurige Stümpfe. Wir sind in der Woche viel herumgereist um eine Alternative für die drei Monate im Sommer 2019 zu finden, welche wir auch gefunden haben. Dabei haben wir noch wesentlich schlechtere Angebote gesehen. Vielleicht sind Häuser dieser Größe halt oft ehemalige Familiendomizile in denen sich in Haus und Garten über Generationen verschiedenes ansammelt, ohne dass es auf einen Standard für professionelle Vermietung gebracht wird.
