Nostos Cottage In Lilaia, Delphi

Description

This 19th century stone cottage, restored and decorated to retain much of its original charm, has essential modern comforts yet retains its personality of times long gone. This rustic getaway features original stones, chestnut floors, exposed wood beams, terracotta roof tiles and heirlooms / period artifacts, many which have been re-purposed creatively by the owner.

With comfy gathering and sleeping areas in three rooms, this 2-bedroom retreat is ideal for the whole family — or friends who want to spend quality time together. The first bedroom (the original barn) is located on the lower level and features an en suite bathroom with bidet. The second bedroom (the original hearth) also acts as a cozy sitting room to rest your feet after a day of mountain activities and boasts a fireplace for those colder days. The wooden beam ceiling features hidden lighting which adds even more ambiance to this charming abode.

The home features a veranda, a wooden balcony and a little garden behind the property so you can take in the crisp mountain air and relax to the soothing sounds of nature. The veranda also features a barbecue for outdoor grilling and plenty of space for dining.

This outdoor lovers dream offers quick access to the stunningly beautiful and biodiverse area and many local attractions. It provides quick access to Mt. Parnassus ski slopes as well as miles of hiking, trekking, biking and equestrian trails. It is roughly a 40-minute scenic drive to Delphi through Mount Parnassus’ National Park.

Halfway between a Mount Parnassus’ popular ski resort and Damastas’ hot water springs at sea level, Lilaia combines cold with hot, an appealing combination of contrasts that can be enjoyed on the same day.

This cozy retreat lands you, not only on the foot of Mount Parnassus with its myriad outdoor activities but also, up the road from the village square with its Church and traditional coffee shop (by day) / bar (by night), meeting place of the locals. The local taverns will tempt you away from your cozy hide-away come mealtime.
