'Mountain Joy' is our treasured family hideout in picturesque Portaria on Mt. Pelion, home of the mythical Centaurs. Our home enjoys a breathtaking view over the bay of Volos, from where Jason and the Argonauts sailed out to bring back the Golden Fleece.
With a total size of 200m2, this vacation rental can comfortably accommodate up to 13 guests in its 6 bedrooms. The ground floor consists of a cozy living room with a handcrafted fireplace, a dining area, a kitchen equipped with all necessary utilities, a guest WC, and large storage room. A wooden staircase leads the way to the first floor, where four bedrooms can accommodate up to 8 guests. A spacious bathroom includes a bathtub and a washing machine and it holds a very practical secret -- 2 small steps lead to a window with direct access to the private parking; this makes unloading the car a piece of cake! On the second floor, there are two bedrooms (with direct access to a big veranda with breathtaking views) and a bathroom.
‘Mountain Joy' is all about its outdoor spaces! When you enter the property, a big terrace full of flowers with a spectacular panoramic view welcomes you. This terrace offers 6 dining spots, a large charcoal BBQ with its own seating area, and, one level down, a 40m2 swimming pool and pool bar. On the lowest level, there is an expansive lawn area where young and old can play. So many places for sunbathing, quiet corners for reading, and beautiful spots for a glass of wine in the evening!
