Elysian Boutique House Pelion
Elegance, privacy and sophistication come together in this stunning boutique home nestled in the mountain top of Mt. Pelion, home of the ancient Greek mythological Centaurs, in the beautiful and quaint village of Tsagkarada.

Pelion has much to offer to the discerning traveller looking for an ideal resting place.

With a fabulous layout with all the right spaces, you can entertain beneath hand painted ceilings by local artisans, or enjoy the private pool outside overlooking the sea and mountain vista outdoors, cook for 2 or 20 in the well appointed kitchen, relax by the fireside family room to the tunes of the piano, or curl up with a good read in the opulent master suite with its own private sea view balcony.
