Charming property in the hills

We had a wonderful time, such a great property and location. Close to a monastery of Ag Pantalemon towards Agia dating from 13th century. Close to beaches as well! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful stay in the mountains

Me and my four grown-up children spent some wonderful and relaxing days in Roula’s beautiful house, going on trips to the river, the cliffs, the thermal springs of Kokkino Nero, and to Mt Ossa in the daytime, and ate excellent meals at Gantem and the Melovoia market place in the evenings. But the breakfasts in Roula’s garden were perhaps the best thing of it all!

Perfect holiday in old Greek house

I used to think, how could it be to live in "lost in time" mountain village. Now I know it :-). The house is suitable for families and groups of (very) good friends. As Roula informed me before - your life there would be "very collective". The main sleeping room upstairs is an open space, You can also sleep in the living room and at the garden floor. The ceilings are made of wood - you can hear everybody in the house very well ;-). The house itself is very well equipped. However you need to remember, that it's old and needs some care and attention. As previous guests wrote - this place is not "Hilton" - it's simple, ancient stone house with it's own character. If you prefer hotel standard, just look for it somewhere else. The people at the village are very friendly, especially the nearest neighbours - Stavroula and Eurypides. Every single day they offered us great tomatoes and the other vegetables from their garden. Thanks a lot for their kindness:-). It's worth to use local shops - they do not offer much staff, but you cas buy great feta cheese, bread and (sometimes) really tasty meat products from the butcher (they are not open every day). What else - we can recommend great beach near "Cuba" beach bar in Velika. It's also worth to find the road to waterfall and ruins of Melivoia castle. If you like to visit old Byzantine monasteries - you can also find them around. We had the perfect time in Melivoia, thanks for everything :-).

Uriges Haus

In diesem uralten Steinhaus, idyllisch im kleinen ruhigen Bergdorf mit einem schönen Blick zum Meer, welches nur 8 km entfernt ist, gelegen, kann man einen schönen Urlaub verbringen. Es hat uns nichts gefehlt. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, die Bäder auch. Allerdings sollte man keinen Hotel Charakter erwarten. Aber das ist gerade das gemütliche. Die Menschen im Dorf sind sehr nett wie überhaupt in Griechenland. Der Strand ist zumindest im September fast menschenleer, das Wasser oft kristallklar. Wir empfehlen diese Urlaubsunterkunft sehr gern weiter. (Die Sterne vergeben wir für Gemütlichkeit, Ruhe, Gute Ausstattung, Urigkeit, und Idylle)

Magnifique

Superbe maison en pierre située dans un village de montagne avec vue sur la mer. Les avantages sont nombreux: fraîcheur nocturne en période estivale, localisation idéale pour visiter le centre (Météores) et le Nord (Olympe, Vergina). La maison, très grande, permet de dissocier les espaces de vie: très bien en famille. Nous recommandons.

Traumhaft

Wir haben unseren Urlaub in Melivoia sehr genossen, das Haus und die Umgebung sind traumhaft. Wer Sinn für Details hat, den Charme eines älteren Hauses mag und Urlaub fern vom Massentourismus machen möchte, ist dort gut aufgehoben. Roula war eine gute Gastgeberin, die auch bei Problemen schnell erreichbar war und half.

Lovely location - atmospheric property

Had a lovely stay in this atmospheric property in a lovely mountain village. The top floor is stunning - so relaxing to sit in a room that gives off its own feeling of spirituality (the roof ceiling is awesome). The views from all levels are spectacular. The rustic charm will suit those who are at home away from main tourist locations and trappings. The village was quiet in May but shops open and people friendly. Panoramic views driving up and down from Velika/Agia - bit of a squeeze and sharp intakes of breath driving the hire car through the village but all manageable and parking always available somewhere! Countryside so beautiful with lovely walks up & down the mountains. Trip to waterfall well worth it. Brilliant football pitch at top of town! A place to relax and take time to reflect but plenty of opportunity to do more in surrounding area - we climbed some of Mt.Olympus and spent time in Volos. Roula - Thank you for the opportunity to experience staying in your house. Donald & Katie

Erholsamer Urlaub in einem kleinen Bergdorf am Fuss des Mt. Kissavo

Wir hatten zwei sehr schöne und erholsame Wochen in dem sehr geschmackvoll und originell eingerichteten Steinhaus von Roula und Kostas in Melivia. Das Haus liegt auf ca. 400 m Höhe und hat einen kleinen Garten mit einer phantastischen Sicht auf's Meer. Sehr schöne Strände bzw. Badebuchten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Außerdem ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen in die Berge und Ausflüge z B. zu den Meteora-Klöstern und auf die Halbinsel Pilion. Wir haben uns in dem Haus von Roula und Kostas in Melivia sehr wohl gefühlt.

La maison de Roula est géniale, très accueillante et très bien décorée. Merveilleux séjour !

Nous avons passé 12 jours dans la maison de Roula, en août. Cette maison est située au coeur du bourg de Melivoia, lui-même situé à quelques km de la mer : la vue sur la mer depuis la maison est formidable ! Cette maison est très accueillante et merveilleusement décorée. C'est une très grande maison, sur trois niveaux : le premier niveau, en rez-de-jardin, donne sur un petit jardin avec parasol et table pour manger. Il y a une chambre avec deux lits où nos enfants ont dormi. Au même niveau, sur l'extérieur, un WC et une douche permettent de compléter la sdb du premier étage. Au premier étage, salon, salle à manger, cuisine en open space. La décoration est de très bon goût et nous a vraiment charmés ! Au deuxième étage, un grand plateau (de danse) où se trouve un grand lit. C'est un espace merveilleux, sous les toits (très belles poutres), très clair (8 ou 9 fenêtres sur les différents côtés de la maison). Roula nous a très bien accueillis et a été très attentive à nos besoins durant le séjour. L'environnement immédiat de la maison est très calme, l'un des voisins, très sympathique, nous a donné tous les jours des légumes et des fruits de son jardin. De manière générale, les gens du village ont été très gentils et accueillants et être au coeur du village est très pratique : il y a notamment une petite supérette (il y en a d'autres) où nous trouvions du bon pain frais tous les matins, un restaurant local où nous avons mangé de délicieux souvlakis et des salades grecques succulentes... et aussi des cafés, une poste, etc. Pour les courses plus importantes, il faut aller à Agia (10 km), chez Galaxias. A proximité, entre 8 et 20 km, il est possible de trouver de superbes plages, presque désertes en plein mois d'août ! Nos enfants ont fait de la plongée et se sont régalés. De Melivoia, il est possible aussi de circuler vers l'ouest (les Météores), vers le nord (Dion et l'Olympe) ou vers le sud (Volos et le Pélion). Bref, c'est un endroit idéal pour rayonner en Grèce continentale ! Nous avons vraiment adoré cette maison où nous prenions beaucoup de plaisir à rester aussi pendant les heures de forte chaleur. Le village est très paisible et c'est très reposant ! Assurément, une expérience de voyage marquante et une très belle découverte. Merci, Roula !!!

We liked it very well in the stone house

We liked it very well in the stone house. Far away from mass tourism in the middle of a village, the house. Here you can spend a quiet time. The nearby beach (8 km) in Velika is clean. The village has a small supermarket and a coffee. Here takes place not played live for tourists, but the real Greek country life. Everyone has a different taste and demand for the holiday. For us everything was quite as fine.Note: Who's afraid of geckos, lizards or small beetles, a fully air conditioned all inclusive hotel should probably prefer to book on Mykonos or stay at home.

About the host

Hosted by Roula Karaferi

Host profile image
I am a choreographer and Dance Movement Psychotherapist. I lived and studied many years in Europe, I travel a lot and I am now based, with my life partner Kostas, in Larissa, 40 klm. from the house in MELIVOIA

Why they chose this property

After many years in big European cities I fell in love with the house, and worked hard to create finally this multi-functional oasis. It is intended for both work and holidays and this is why everything can be moved flexibly around!

What makes this property unique

The open view of the house in combination with the big living space, creates this unique feeling of stability and freedom that we humans need. In this house one can recharge and be creative in the same time! When inside one has the feeling of being in a castle with stone walls 80 cm thick, and windows all around.
