About this villa rental
At the foot of Mount Olympus, overlooking the sea of Thermaikos gulf, the Villa Platamonas awaits you all through the year to offer you unforgettable holidays. A beautiful villa that combines comfort with elegance and makes the most of its location in front of the Aegean sea.There are olives trees galore, figs, pomegranates, grapes and the full range of wild herbs. Feel free to help yourself!
In the summer the wildflowers are breathtaking. From the villa there is no better view of the Aegean Sea, Mount Olympus and the Byzantine Castle where, during the summer, performances, music concerts and other cultural events take place within the frame of the Olympus Festival. Even the sun sets in precisely the right spot. The bays and beaches are perfect for both children and strong swimmers and, apart from June, July and August, you may well have the whole beach to yourselves.
The village of Platamonas is a short walking distance from Villa Platamonas and is considered one of the most known tourist locations of the region. There are many traditional bakeries, cafes, stores, traditional taverns and restaurants. It is suitable for quiet family vacations but is also the ideal place for those that seek intense nightlife. The numerous little taverns on the picturesque bays and the beach bars and night-clubs on the road along the coast will satisfy even the most demanding visitor. It also has a harbor where you can anchor your craft.
The owners would be happy to give advice on the local area; point out the best places to eat and generally make sure that your holiday is as enjoyable as possible.

House was lovely and very comfortable with terrific views Very central to many tourist areas I would definitely recommend it
5.0 / 5.0
From the moment we arrived at Platamonas and were met by the wonderful owner, our experience exceeded our expectations. The villa was simply divine with everything you could wish for. The view from the villa is breathtaking and the local taverns have excellent local dishes, and are very generous (with complimentary rakia and deserts at the end of the meal).
We had wonderful communication with the owner prior and during our visit, with very prompt response to any enquiry. This is the ONLY place to stay in Platamonas for us and we cannot wait to come back. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories we have of Platamonas.
MANY THANKS

From start to finish the booking experience and communication throughout was great.
As soon as we entered the villa and took in the incredible view we knew that we were going to have an unforgettable time! The villa transmitted a sense of simplicity and warmth. . Everyone fit very comfortably and it was well-maintained with a great set up. The highlight was the outdoor areas with seating and dining areas.
We loved beach hopping, from the peaceful beaches to the ultra-chic vibe of Platamonas. We will cherish many memories from the trip: waking up each morning to the beautiful sunshine and the gorgeous views, sunsets in town, lunch on the beach taverns. The location is perfect for visiting different beaches by day and exploring the town and attractions at night.
It was such a relaxing and fun time - just what the doctor ordered after crazy busy year!. We look forward to coming back!

The photos listed give only a hint of the actual beauty that surrounds you in this romantic relaxing villa. Some days it was hard to leave and go exploring because the villa has such a gorgeous environment with spectacular views. It was absolutely sparkling clean and fantastically equipped to a very high standard that really does make you feel spoilt; it really felt like home from home.
The location of the villa is superb; it is at close walking distance to all good things Platamonas town has to offer, but also far enough from the noise. There are many lovely beaches, more than we could get to see in a week, some almost empty, and even on the busy ones, you could get a decent patch of sand to yourself.
I listened to the sound of the waves and watched the sunset every night and it was probably the most breathtaking sunset I have ever seen! Absolutely unreal.
The communication and customer service with Tasos, the owner was excellent. We would totally recommend this home - the memories will last a lifetime!
I can't wait to visit again next summer!.

Upon arrival my friends and I were blown away by the beauty of the property and its location. The owner, Tasos, greeted us with a smile and some delicious Greek fruit and enthusiastically showed us around the villa.
The villa was immaculate and well equipped and the bedrooms were comfortable and roomy. It is also ideally located. It is a 5-minute walk to the nearest shops and taverns and the nightlife is out of this world too!
I would recommend this property to anyone of all ages, there were plenty of local activities, board games, cuddly toys for younger ones, balconies for a more relaxed daytime snooze and much more.
I wish I could give this villa more than 5 stars, it was 10/10 just like the owner.
Thank you again for an amazing week Tasos!

We stayed in villa platamonas for two weeks in august 2016. We were a diverse group of different ages and tastes and it can sometimes be difficult to find accommodation to please everyone. I can say without hesitation that villa platamonas was the perfect house for all of us. It is a beautiful house in a beautiful location with breathtaking views of the sea and mount olympos. There is a wonderful beach just below the house with a fish taverna next to it. There are activities in the area to suit all ages and tastes and a lot of places to see and explore. Mostly I would like to thank the owners of the house for their hospitality. I would highly recommend villa platamonas for a family holiday.

The house was beautiful, spotless and well equipped and Tasos made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and taverna. We really enjoyed our stay, with day trips to Elassona and Mount Olympus.

My husband, 4 teenage children and I have just returned from quite honestly one of the most wonderful holidays I have ever had the good fortune to go on! Proximity to the beach, Taverns, grocery store and bakery made everything easy. Villa Platamonas is extremely comfortable and the outdoor space is excellent too.It is so well placed for trips to different places and to the beautiful Mount Olympus. We could not have been happier. We hope to go back one day.

We just had to place a review on this Villa; it was out of this world and lived up to the description without a doubt. We found it hard to drag ourselves away from the villa but once we did we had such fun, there is a lot to do and see, too much to try to do in the time we had. We hope to go back to see what we didn't manage this time!! We would recommend Villa Platamonas to anyone wanting an exclusive, luxury holiday but with the chance to explore when the mood takes you.

Nous avons séjouné14 jours dans la maison louée par Tasos et Ellen, ce fûrent de magnifiques vacances. Nous avons découvert la région du "Platamonas" avec ses nombreux villages de montagne le long des routes sinueuses, avec toujours la mer à portée de vue. Sillonner les routes le long de la côte nous a fait decouvrir de nombreuses plages et criques, avec toujours une eau limpide et chaude.
La maison est très joliment décorée, avec gout et tres très fonctionnelle. Il y a tout pour se sentir toujours à la maison ( serviette de bain, parasol, epices pour la cuisine, savon.....). Nos petits déjeuner sur la terrasse , ou nos soirées à regarder la mer scintiller resteront de bons moments de détente.
Le village de Old Panteleimon, est très typique de cette région, avec sa grande place du village, l'enorme platane qui trône et la fontaine d'eau fraiche ( fort agréable en fin de promenade...). Il y a plusierus "tavernas" ou diner et se régaler, et les commerces de proximité sont à quelques minutes en voiture. Tasos et Ellen sont tres accueillants, et seront vous recommander les endroits à découvrir.
Plus l’hiver approche plus je suis nostalgique de mon séjour à la Villa Platamonas cet été. Mes enfants étaient heureux, ils ne voulaient pas partir, ils me demandent constamment d’y retourner. Ca sera l’été prochain, c’est une certitude.
