At first glance, not much distinguishes this majestic 200-year-old listed mansion in Vyzitsa from the other tall, stone mansions the village is famous for. From the outside, they are all gorgeous. But step inside the Santikos Mansion and you will find a unique ambience of tradition mixed with understated luxury. The mansion used to be a guesthouse like many other in the area: run by the Greek Tourist Organisation, traditional and basic. Not any more! The Santikos family has given it a complete facelift and now stylish furniture, warm colours, opulent upholstery do full justice to the magnificent original features of the mansion. It is a perfectly executed combination of authentic Pelion style and great comfort that reveals itself at all levels: local staff is friendly, professional and efficient; breakfast consists of local products, but is prepared with finesse and served with flair; beds are traditional wood built-in style, but the mattresses are modern, top of the range.
