About this property

Stunning, Award-winning, Spacious, Pool, Gardens, Beaches, real Greece

Our guests say we're 'stunningly different', 'Wonderful', 'Space for all' and 'An amazing property', and we proudly get 5 stars from everyone who has stayed with us.

One of the most captivating aspects of the location (coastal, mainland) is its untouched natural beauty. From its rugged coastline to its secluded beaches and lush olive groves, we exude an aura of tranquillity and serenity.

Visitors are drawn to our local pristine waters, perfect for swimming, sailing and diving, as well as charming villages, where time seems to stand still. Yet, just 10 minutes away in a Greek seaside resort boasting a bustling, busy day and nightlife full of bars, cafes, tavernas, sweet shops and more. So whilst we boast a relaxed pace of life, allowing visitors and residents alike to truly unwind and connect with the peaceful atmosphere, the nearby bars, cafes, cocktails bars, and a host of choices for eating out, are just a quick drive away.

Whether exploring hidden coves, indulging in delicious local cuisine, or simply basking in the Mediterranean sun, we offer an unforgettable escape for those seeking an authentic Greek experience.

And, we're a stunning home. Huge space, and completely child-friendly and safe. A private pool with stunning surroundings. Chill amongst many trees in our private gardens. Walk less than 5' into our local village for fresh bread, coffee, butcher, chemist and mini market. Day trip to nearby ancient sites - Delphi, Meteora, the mountain villages of Pelion and more. Sail the Aegean on your private, skippered, yacht for the day exploring empty beaches and tiny islands. Sip evening cocktails or lunch beachside at the nearby Greek resort, just minutes away. Play tennis, windsurf, or explore empty beaches for yourself.

The villa has every modern convenience, built on the site of an ancient bakery, and modernised throughout - and we have an award as one of mainland Greece's top 20 coastal villas. Wonderfully spacious inside (500M2), very private, on the coast, in a villa in mainland Greece, and a walk from a real friendly authentic Greece village (goats, olives, tiny tavernas)

Click on our video tour in the photo section to see why!

Modern fittings, luxurious touches, private and secure grounds covering over an acre .

Just a simple motorway drive from Athens, Thessaloniki or Volos airports.

5 bedrooms for 9 (and a 6th room for 2 extra kids if needed to make 11), with 3 rain shower bathrooms, a farmhouse style kitchen with meeting every need, an inside dining room, huge and spacious living rooms with several separate seating areas, large terraces facing gardens, and a private and large poolside with your own BBQ area; And our large and private grounds are fenced and gated, so 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!

Set by the Aegean coast, 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 acts at beachside concerts, 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.

Spacious and relaxing living, with more than enough space for large groups to live comfortably and with privacy. The pool setting is breathtaking - swim and sun among protected stones and walling dating back over 1600 years.

The villa's sliding doors open it up to both gardens and pool, so it's very light and airy, yet stone designed to stay cool inside - even through hot summer days - by a well-known Greek architect.

Local Village shops are a walk away.
The international vineyard is a 5-minute drive away - where we can arrange visits, tasting tours and dinners.
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 also arrange 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.

Absolutely wonderful
I had a good feeling about this holiday from the moment I booked. Michael was excellent at communicating with me and providing ideas of things to do in the area. His directions to the property were fantastic and the welcome we received was lovely. The weather was hot but the temperature of the house was constant with plentiful fans to circulate the air. The house was fully equipped and beautiful. It was very private, too. Michael and Dimitra were on hand to assist and recommend, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A perfect hideaway for a small family group (there were 7 of us) where everyone could do their own thing in one of the numerous, comfortable seating areas. We loved the un-touristy nature of the area, too, though the village had all we needed. I could go on, as I find it hard to find fault with this beautiful place. We would come back in an instant.

Séjour paradisiaque au milieu des oliviers et loin de la foule
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la propriété de Michael au calme au cœur d'un village avec tous les commerces utiles à portée de pas, à cinq minutes d'une plage aménagée avec transats bon marché. La situation permet de profiter des lieux magiques à voir en deux heures en voiture et de retrouver le calme et la fraîcheur de la piscine le soir. L'accueil à été parfait, la propriété est très agréable à vivre avec de la place pour tout le monde ! Nous serions bien restés plus longtemps !

Long delayed - but worth the wait
We booked this property pre-covid (2019) and finally made the trip in August 2022. Over the intervening years Michael (our host) kept us informed of the position regards restrictions and even honoured our original booking price. When we finally arrived the property and location turned out to be better than advertised. Michael was the perfect host. He started by giving us an orientation tour of the adjacent two towns and gave us information of local activities and restaurants and helped us with our bookings including our day out sailing (a must!). Whenever we needed help - he was there! The mixture of pool time and beach was ideal. We felt that we had an authentic taste of Greece and in Raches, the nearby beachside town only heard Greek voices - lovely!!!

A Very Special Place
This villa was beautifully spacious with wonderful features, a large swimming pool area, well-equipped kitchen, and very comfortable beds. We were a family group of 10 with 3 generations and everyone found the villa comfortable. Michael and Demitria were welcoming with very helpful suggestions, always on hand to help with bookings for boat hire, restaurants and cultural attractions. Michael's maps are a thing of beauty! We hired a yacht for the day (with a wonderfully friendly and patient captain), visited the ancient sites of Meteora, Delphi, Thermopylae, had a couple of beach days (again with an excellent recommendation from Michael for a 5 star beach), and many enjoyable days relaxing, eating and drinking by the pool - the 2 grandmas loved shopping for shoes in Lamia. Thank you Michael and Demitria, your villa is amazing and we will always have very fond memories of our time in Achinos.

Terrific and pleasantly different property
For a large group a terrific amount of space, well beyond our expectations - as well as a beautiful property. The setting is quite stunning, with its gardens and pool area, & lovely interiors. Better still, this really was Greece with friendly villagers, busy seaside resorts nearby full of Greeks, amazing food, few tourists, and such friendly owners. my family came together from across 2 continents - it was a joyful stay and something we will treasure.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Cooper

Host profile image
I'm a writer, pilot and artist spending my time between Greece and the UK.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this unfinished house and, wanting something very spacious with lots of light and colour, original in design, but with nearby nightlife and sea I completed its modernisation over several years. From the front terraces I'm surrounded by garden trees - lemon, pine, fig plum and cherry. From the rear pool area I can lounge in privacy, among ancient history. I rent my villa out because I enjoy meeting guests from around the world, and over the last 12 years have made some special new friends.

What makes this property unique

There is no other property like this in Greece. It is, genuinely , unique in design and in atmosphere - luxury set among ancient stones and walls, some dating back 1,600 years - in the exterior grounds. It's a perfect location for travelers wanting to experience real Greece, in peace and quiet. We're very private and secure (especially great for kids who can roam the gardens freely), with a sense of space (over 500m2 of living space inside the house), but with contemporary Greece's beachside bar's, cafe's and seaside taverna's all just 5 minutes drive away in the nearby popular resort. It's the best of old and new Greece, on your doorstep. Stunning archeology, olive groves and coast surround you, and one of Greece's best international vineyards is on our doorstep for complimentary visiting and tasting. The UNESCO Heritage site of Meteora, and Delphi and Thermoplyae, together with the beautiful mountain region of Pelion with its stunning villages and beaches, and even Thesslaoniki are fascinating day trips from the house. It's no wonder the UK Times named us one of the 20 best seaside villas in Greece.
