In the mountain villages of Pelion you have a wonderful selection of hotels and guesthouses – the choice is huge, catering to (almost) all tastes and budgets. If you value an impeccable blend of tradition, warmth, elegance and great comfort, you should stay at the stylishly restored 18th century Sakali Mansion. The mansion has eight individually styled bedrooms, all furnished with carefully selected antique and handmade pieces (and superbly comfy beds). There’s also a smaller paraspito (outbuilding), with a breakfast room and a sitting room, both very cosy, as well as a Hammam, a Jacuzzi with view, and, for the summer, an outdoor pool with a terrace looking out over the mountains and sea. The owners live and work near Athens, but spend all their free time in Pelion. The mansion is their passion, and it shows in every detail. Day-to-day care is in the experienced hands of kyria Praxithea, who fills the house with smiles and smells of freshly baked cakes.
