Mystras Luxury House In The Hills

This holiday cottage is set in a great location in the hillside. Approach is by a steep road. It has level parking for one car. The 2 storey property has a patio and balcony. The upper floor is a kitchen and living area with a single bed in the corner. The downstairs is a double bedroom and bathroom with shower. The kitchen is well equipped. The area is very quiet and secluded. Lovely restaurant in walking distance. Shopping in Sparti.

Like being atop the World. You could find things to complain about if you are like that. But overall the experience was so unique that little inconveniences became meaningless and should not even be mentioned.

The house has everything you need. WiFi is excellent. Quiet! We have stayed right in Mystra before and did not get used to church bells hourly. You must navigate a winding road high into the hills, with a gate you need to physically open and close every time, with a steep driveway continuing up to the house. I would open the gate and then walk up the driveway after the car, but I think that would be too much for anyone with mobility issues. I think a manual car will be challenging anywhere on the mountain if you are visiting the little villages. It is not possible to walk from the house to a restaurant, the road is very steep and far from anything in walking distance. But the view is sublime and the owner, Dimitris, is very attentive. We will stay again when we return to the area.

Dimitris grandparents welcomed us, showed us the house and gave us some tips on what to visit and where to eat. We were treated as family. They live nearby and were available all day in case we needed them. His grandmother brought us homemade cookies an nuts. The house itself is tastefully furnished and the kitchen has everything you might need. The rooms are spacious and there is a big garden. It is at walking distance from the castle of Mystras, and the village itself has a lot of excellent tavernas.We will be back!
