About this cottage rental
Tucked away amongst the olive trees, this characterful cottage is probably the most romantic place you will ever stay. The bedroom, high in the eaves looking out though the fluttering green foliage feels like you're sleeping in a tree house. Wake up to bird song and views across a sparkling sea down to the gulf.
On the ground floor there is a bathroom, kitchenette with 2 ring hob, sink and fridge, and dining table, with wood-burning stove, to keep you cosily warm in winter.
The cottage is cut into the hillside, so both floors are in fact at ground level, giving onto an upper and lower patio.
Ano Gatzea is a traditional Greek village. Here life has changed little over the centuries, and half of our neighbours still rely on mules as their main form of transport. Cobbled paths ('mule motorways') link the mountain villages and you can walk all day (or as long as your knees can stand it) without encountering a car. Mountain streams rush down the valleys to the sea and the dense forests are home to tortoises, wild boar and martens.
A short walk through the olive groves takes you to the still waters of the Pagasitic Gulf. Almost entirely enclosed by land, it makes for warm calm seas full of fish in winter, spring and autumn, although in high summer the waters get a bit warm for them and they head somewhere a bit cooler.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2022
Ons verblijf en locatie was zeer aangenaam, enkel het bereiken ervan haast een Griekse tragedie. Wij hebben geen enkele informatie ontvangen omtrent de route naar de locatie. Zowel Vrbo als de eigenaar waren ‘s avonds bij aankomst telefonisch niet bereikbaar. Lokale Grieken hebben ons moeten helpen om, midden in de nacht, naar het huisje te zoeken. Ondanks GPS e.d. was het in eerste instantie niet te vinden.

Chouette location pour découvrir la région du Mont Pélion qui est magnifique !
Tout est prévu pour le confort des locataires.
Richard est très sympathique et donne de bons conseils.
Il est primordial d'avoir un véhicule pour sillonner la région et d'être en bonne condition physique pour effectuer les randonnées 😁

We had a wonderful time. The apartment is cosy and nicely furnished. We especially liked the small outdoors area, where we could sit and read. We didn’t have the chance to get to know Richard in person, but the communication was good. I would recommend the flat to my friends.

We have just returned from a truly fantastic fortnight in Ano Gatzea. The Lemon House was even better than we had imagined, with an amazing view across the Pagasitic Gulf. The owners were wonderful hosts, offering us an abundance of information about the local area. We particularly enjoyed an exceptionally interesting tour of Dimini and Sesklos led by Richard and also the sailing day with Charlotte.The cottage itself is incredibly quaint, with a choice of two patios to relax on, one of which has a BBQ. We decided not to hire a car this year, and were very surprised how much we managed to see without. There is a very comprehensible compilation of local walks, which we happily made our way through. Also, we found taxis to be most affordable, which added plenty of choice to where we ventured.We would definitely recommend The Lemon House to anyone who loves nature and walking, and just wants to tuck themselves away for a while.
