Our PHILOSOPHY
We were inspired many years ago to create an off the beaten track community. A community eager to embrace nature and explore the enchanting secrets of Pelion as a region. Where our knowledge, traditions and passion for living in nature, growing and cooking food and maintaining a healthy lifestyle could be shared amongst friends and family from around the world. Where people staying with us have a home away from home and feel welcomed by our warmth and exquisite hospitality.
The mythical region of Pelion is the perfect environment to do this. As a truly undiscovered paradise which shines through all four seasons, it offers so much to travellers and visitors living here or passing through on holiday. It is a source of positive energy for people seeking happiness, longevity and true balance in their lives.
