Unexpected jewels of the forest, home to many pixies…

It must be at least fifty years ago but it seems only yesterday when a large oak tree grew in the back yard of our house in Dimitsana. Close to its roots we would find mushrooms. Being children, we would want to pick them but grandpa Aristidis would claim that these where home to magical creatures, invisible to the human eye and that we should leave them alone. We would do so with much disappointment, all the while wondering about the fantastic inhabitants of these mushrooms. Often, we would spend hours hiding in the back yard hoping, to catch a glimpse of these fairy creatures that lived there. The years have passed, times have changed and the great oak tree is gone. Gone also are those enchanted mushrooms.

Today, two beautiful Amanites (mushrooms) open their doors and welcome those whose fantasy still helps them keep the old stories alive.

A few words for the building’s history

The guesthouse was opened in the April of 2009. Before that, at the same place, there was our grandmother’s family house. A building at least 150 years old, weathered from nature and time, that due to foundations problems it had to be demolished. The new structure was designed again and again so to be consistent with the rules of three Archaeological services of the Greek Ministry of Culture. Because of its history and its remarkable architecture, the village is one of the preserved traditional settlements of Greece. That’s why the guesthouses and hotels in Dimitsana, as well as all kind of accommodation and new structures, have to conform with rules. Rules that help to preserve the history and the beauty of this place for the next generations.
