Cozy Fairytale Vacation Rental on Farm near Lamia in Central Greece

Description

With a living area cozily arranged around the fireplace, this vacation rental near Lamia, Greece, is bathed in light streaming in from the windows, offering a sweeping view of the alpine landscape, a bedroom with wall to wall bed and a vertical ladder leading to a secret loft bed, a kitchen on one side of the gallery that opens onto the farm’s most beautiful veranda and an attic that looks like something straight out of the most magical fairytale ever.

This glamping cottage has a double-size bed in a separate bedroom with a ladder leading to a child’s single bed. It also has an attic, this time with two double beds, as well as a kitchen, a bathroom with shower, and a fireplace. The back door of the cottage opens onto a spacious wooden outdoor deck, which is fully equipped situated roughly in the center of the farm. Here, a vine covered pergola provides guests with ample shade, making the deck area ideal for relaxation, reading and barbecues.

The cottage is also furnished with a full kitchen including a filter coffee maker, an espresso machine, a SMEG fridge/freezer, a mini electric cooker with an oven, all crockery, utensils and cutlery, and a full dinnerware set. As well as this, the kitchen contains electrical appliances, a cooker hood, paper towels and washing up liquid. To make life a little bit easier for guests, the host has kindly stocked the kitchen with a few essential such as espresso and filter coffee, tea, both white and brown sugar, evaporated milk, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

The host has also provided guests with a hair dryer, face and bath towels, and face and body liquid soap for the bathroom. Extra amenities around the glamping cottage include sheets, duvets, fur bed covers, outdoor blankets, firelighters, tealight candles, hiking sticks, umbrellas and a torch, which all add together to provide a luxury stay for all guests.

Outside of the accommodation, guests will find a sun deck, which has been furnished with a chaise lounge, garden seats and benches, a barbecue, and charcoal, firewood, a picnic table that can seat up to six people, and a parking space.

Certain aspects of the farm, such as the organic garden, the pond with its dam and wooden bridge, the rock garden full of herbs, the tree house, the stone fountain and the natural spring fed by water from a mountain peak deep in the national park, help create a truly idyllic setting that is far from a commonplace.

There is a chapel on site with a bell tower, which looks like it has been lifted from an Alpine slope. There is also a tavern, where guests can enjoy meals, snacks, and drinks or play games beside the wood burning stove. The stable has a traditional wooden facade reminiscent of Normandy and a hayloft full of authentic ethnic memorabilia.

Guests will also find a charming rabbit hutch, a tractor shed, a stone built pen and drinking trough for the sheep and goats, a poultry house, and a pond for the ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens and guinea fowl that roam freely, which all serve to confirm this glamping farm's credentials as a genuine working farm.

The most prominent landmark on this glamping site is the log built observation tower, which is 20 meters high. The tower affords an amazing 360 degree view that takes in not only four of central Greece’s most stunning peaks (Mt. Kallidromo, Mt. Othrys, Mt. Oiti and Mt. Giona) but also the sea. Guests can use the telescope to zoom in on points of interest in the surrounding countryside or stargaze to the rustling of leaves, the gurgling of streams and other sounds of the forest.

The farm is completed by impressive stands of trees; tall poplars and characteristic local species such as arbutus, tilia, circis as well as acacia, plane, oak and willow. Depending on the season, guests will be able to savor freshly picked mirabelles, sour cherries, hazelnuts, sweet cherries, plums, apples, quinces, chestnuts, and walnuts.

Kids will also love the outdoor play area with swings, slides, and a playhouse.
