Overview
Nestled on the breathtaking Pelion peninsula is Villa Thetis, a stunning renovated country house consisting of 3 bedrooms set over two storeys that can accommodate 6-8 guests. Retaining its original stone and wooden features, Villa Thetis offers guests an elegantly decorated environment with touches of rural Greek charm, including beamed ceilings, sprays of exposed stonework, and handsomely crafted wooden furniture.
The ground floor is spacious and open plan consisting of the living, dining and kitchen areas. The exposed stone walls, beams, and wooden floors give a rustic feel which is perfectly complemented by the designer style cosy sofa and plush cushions. Spotlights in the ceiling and contemporary light fixtures above the chunky wooden dining table offer a well-placed modern touch, as does the flatscreen TV that includes the use of Netflix, CD player and WiFi facilities, ensuring the whole family is entertained. There is also extra seating and a coffee table in front of the log burning fire, ideal for those holidaying during the chillier months when skiing is popular in this area.
The kitchen is well-equipped with all modern conveniences including an electric hob and oven, sandwich toaster, water boiler, dishwasher, washing machine, and Nespresso coffee machine. There is plenty of food preparation and storage space, and the mottled grey and neutral tones of the kitchen units and surfaces blend in perfectly with the stone walls and natural wooden floors.
The ground floor also houses one of the three bedrooms. A double room with ensuite facilities, this room is light and airy with white walls adorned with contemporary black and white framed prints, and a comfy two-seater sofa bed. Floors are light natural wood and there are sprays of exposed stonework and solid wooden furniture, all adding to the country house charm, as well as white voiles and blinds at the windows and a stunning chandelier for a touch of romantic elegance. The private ensuite bathroom features the same rustic feel with a natural palette of cool grey and pebble. There is a sunken bath with overhead shower facilities, as well as complimentary towels and toiletries.
The first floor is accessible by a wide wooden staircase, and this is where guests will find the other two bedrooms. These double rooms, both with ensuite shower facilities are decorated to the same high standard as the rest of Villa Thetis, combining the stunning natural features of the building with contemporary furniture and artworks, crisp white linens, and modern lighting fixtures. Both bathrooms are light and fresh with white walls and suites, and gorgeously patterned tiled floors. Both of the first-floor bedrooms have a small balcony, affording guests spectacular panoramic views of the mountain. Stairs lead to the terrace, where an outside dining area seats six guests. Here you’ll find a bbq grill and accessories, perfect for an alfresco meal or just a relaxing glass of wine with friends.
Following the steps down to the ground floor you’ll find your private pool and relaxation area, complete with loungers, parasol, table and seating area. There is a small well-tended lawn, as well as a decked area; all fenced off to maintain privacy while still offering those incredible views.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ThetisVilla Thetis is situated in the Greek mountain peninsula of Pelion, a natural paradise dotted with sleepy fishing villages made up of traditional stone houses that ooze charm, and fringed by deserted beaches, where swimming in the clear waters has been compared to heaven. Nearby Makrinitsa is one of the most beautiful villages to visit during your stay. Due to the location a car is essential.
Known as the ‘balcony of Mt Pelion’ because of the amazing views due to its 630m above sea level location, those lucky enough to come here will be amazed by its unique beauty. Offering peace and tranquillity, Makrinitsa boasts stone-paved streets and a large square shadowed by tall plane trees. Here visitors can enjoy quaint cafes, the beautiful church and basilica, the folklore museum, and the carved marble fountain, built around 1809 and filled with crystal clear waters known locally as Immortal Water. Or why not head to the village of Argalasti to experience the region’s only fresh food and farmers’ market? Here you’ll find such local delights as freshly caught tuna, mackerel and sardines, wildflower honey, pickled mushrooms, dried thyme and oregano, tresses of garlic, and locally pressed olive oil.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Thetis features a ground floor bedroom, ideal for those travelling with children who are too young to navigate the stairs safely. The villa is spacious and open plan which will minimize trips, although parents will want to be aware that there are many areas of the exposed stone wall where scrapes of soft elbows could occur! Having said that, well-supervised children would enjoy the space and views, and baby cots, high chairs, and children’s cutlery are available on request, as well as some board games. There are parasols outside to shield young skin from the sun, and the pool has steps for easy access, although it should be noted that there is no fence or barrier.
Whatever the time of year Pelion has much to offer families, during the winter months there is skiing and snowboarding on offer, with local schools offering lessons and equipment hire for children as young as three years old. Kids will enjoy snowball fights, making snowmen, or having a warming cup of hot chocolate at a chalet cafe, all while absorbing the wonderful sea views! In the warmer months, families can partake in scenic nature walks along the safe marked paths through thick forests, or why not rent bicycles or horses and book a guided tour of the area. There’s simply no end of fabulous beaches in this area, from Agios Ioannis with its pristine waters and tall trees, to Mylopotamos, famous for its crystal-clear waters. Some of the beaches are accessed by steps, so they may be unsuitable for those with the youngest of children, but most do not and feature family-friendly amenities such as umbrellas and beachside restaurants.

The villa is perfect!
Has all facilities you can think about. Fully equipped kitchen, great beds, all is clean and comfortable. The only issue can be stairs which are everywhere but this is a part of the charm.
-
Beautiful Villa!
With a very nice pool and view clean rooms and comfortable bathroom in each room, which makes it very convenient. Not far from the village and the beach, supermarkets.
-
A villa that became a home for us!
Well equipped and very comfortable. The house is very clean and aesthetic. About 25 minutes early from Volos and allows star trips to the western beaches (which are considered more beautiful). Personally, we preferred the beaches near Hoila, which were quieter and less crowded. In short, excellent location
-
Villa Thetis
Great design, great location, very close to Rivera beach. We didnt want to leave.
-
Everything was perfect!
A big, welcoming and functional villa with a big private pool. The view from the villa is amazing. In the villa you will find everything that is needed. Also it is very quiet. Most important, the hostess was the best that we have ever met.
-
The house is even better then in the pictures!
The house is even better then in the pictures, everything ready for you including the smallest details. The location is perfect: a small quiet village and 10 minutes drive to the beaches, shops and taverns. If I could I would give 12 instead of 10. Two extra points are for the most wonderful host ever.

Five star plus villa!
The villa is equipped to a perfect standard, the rooms are stunning, the pool is wonderful, the view is gorgeous, the location is perfect (5 minutes drive to the sea and the promenade of Kala Nara) and everything is clean and meticulous. The villa is even more beautiful than the photos on the website... I thought we would complain about the fact that there are air conditioners only in the bedrooms and not in the living room/kitchen, but despite the heavy heat wave, the living room and kitchen were also comfortable with the fan.

The whole family had an amazing experience!
The villa is in a quiet and pastoral village with few inhabitants. There is an impressive church in front of the villa and it is recommended to go for a walk in the streets of the village and go up to the end of the mountain or stop at any point up the village and watch the beautiful beach. The villa is beautiful and combines innovative elements alongside rustic and ancient design. The villa is fully equipped. The kitchen is innovative and well equipped. The pool is pampering and large and the children made good use of it. The owner of the villa was available to us and very cooperative and made sure we didn't miss anything. Just a dream of a villa, the whole family had an amazing experience. There is no air conditioner in the kitchen and living room space, but there is a fan that does the job and thanks to the windows and the good air we did not miss it. The rest of the spaces in the villa are air-conditioned

A simply amazing place!
The pictures fail to reflect how beautiful, special and clean the villa is. Equipped with all the possible things, just thinking about every little thing. Amazing rooms with a private bathroom and toilet for each room. In terms of location, it is a 5-minute drive from an area of writers and restaurants. We used a taxi driver in the evenings so as not to take the car out all the time. We had a lot of fun ! We will recommend and come back!

We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Thetis!
Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by our host, who gave us a brief tour of the villa and its facilities. The house is beautifully done and decorated in a very welcoming and calming manner. It also had Christmas decorations as we visited the house just before the end of the festive season. Very clean, with spacious rooms and a well-organised kitchen. Quite close to the sea but also easy to get to the mountainous, well-known villages of Pilio.

Exceptional
This is one of the most amazing villas we have ever stayed in. the villa is very convenient (we were a couple + 3 kids). the villa is amazingly designed and was brand new. Wi-fi is available. Free netflix is available. The pool is nice and relaxing and it is 10 minutes drive from a great beach. the host Katerina was very helpful. She welcomed us with some cookies, and the next day brought additional towels and a great chocolate cream cake. There are BBQ facilities and washing machines. We certainly hope to come back!
