Porfyron GuestHouse

This lovely mid-19th century mansion used to be the residence of the village doctor, until in the fifties it became a boarding school where girls learned arts such as weaving and embroidering. It is now owned by Rita and Yannis Kirligitsis, a Dutch-Greek couple, who have turned it into an appealing guesthouse. It features eight individually decorated bedrooms that offer space, comfort, charm and (most of them) far-reaching views. Walls are painted in soft colours that combine beautifully with the original woodwork; antique furniture is combined with local-style handmade pieces; and beds are made with beautiful embroidered linens. Some of the rooms also have a fireplace – not just for decoration: if you want you’ll get wood to make a fire. Altogether it is a very attractive package. In the evenings guests and villagers join Rita and Yannis in the large sitting room for drinks, home-cooked meals and long chats.
