A luxurious house on a private estate near Pelion in Greece, an infinity pool with breathtaking panoramic views over a sparkling blue bay, a tranquil village setting. Accommodation for up to 14 and luxurious interiors. Welcome to your own little piece of paradise. Five seater motorboat provided for your use in the summer months.
In a commanding position at the head of the bay of Lefokastro on the Pelion Peninsula sits Dolphin`s Leap, a beautiful secluded estate which comprises a main house and a charming little annexe known as the Writer`s Retreat. Altogether, the property can sleep 14 people and it has everything a group of friends or families could possibly want for a restful holiday - a pool and terrace overlooking the bay and mountains, bedrooms with air-conditioning and sea views, a sandy beach just a moment away and a delightful village with a small selection of tavernas to relax in. Surrounded by olive trees and the natural flora of the Pelion forests, the house was built from local stone using local craftsmen and it blends naturally into the contours of the hillside. Watch dolphins frolicking in the cove, take a yacht out on the water, or just sit on the terrace with a chilled drink at sunset. Who could ask for more?
Just 2 minutes from the estate is a small sandy beach which separates the house from the village. Isolated and peaceful this is the perfect place for a picnic or a dip. Beyond the beach is the village of Lefokastro where there are 3 tavernas, a shop and a bar.
Getting There:
Although there are a few direct flights into the airport at Volos, space is limited on these and most visitors to Pelion travel here via Thessaloniki. From the UK, the cheapest flights are with Easyjet (Gatwick) or Ryanair (Stansted). Smaller parties may be able to get on the weekly Monarch flights to Volos from Gatwick. Another option is to fly into Skiathos and then take a water taxi to Pelion which takes around 15 minutes. We will then pick you up and take you to the house. The drive from Thessaloniki to the property is quick and easy, straight down the motorway to Volos (about 2 hours) and then 30km down into Pelion. The house is accessible by a 500m driveway which runs down to the house.
