About this property

The Red House at the Montofoli Wine Estate, POOL, WI-FI

The Red House combines comfort with a sense of luxury. The villa is surrounded by VERANDAS and TERRACES where guests can enjoy their meals, a long-drink in the afternoon, some time for relaxation with a book or a portable device, or endless playtime with the children.

The terrace outside the kitchen features a large stone-table made from the world-famous Karystian slate. A variety of indigenous trees and flowers enrich the scenery, and the blush, deep red colour of the walls as well as the delightful VIEW TO THE SEA, make this the perfect all-day living space during the summer.

The villa is fully air-conditioned and includes exclusive amenities such as WIRELESS INTERNET inside and outside, covered parking, an espresso machine, a safe, satellite/cable television, a stereo system, a DVD Player, a natural-gas BBQ in the private terrace.

The eastern VERANDA overlooks the lawn, an ideal space where children can play under limited supervision. The interior is carefully decorated with exceptional pieces of traditional and modern design, and allows for plenty of natural light throughout the day. The Red House is a unique example of traditional Greek architecture of the 19th century, which is of special interest to guests who want to combine their accommodation with a genuine experience of the local culture.

MONTOFOLI ESTATE

Montofoli Estate is a place of great importance since 400 BC. It is a legendary landmark on the island of Evia, in Karystos, that served traditionally as the private residence of the ruler of the area at any point in history. Important personalities have lived and been welcomed at Montofoli such as the Pasha of Evia during the Turkish occupation, king Otto of Greece, diplomats and officials that made up the high society of the time.

Today, Montofoli Estate is a boutique winery that produces awarded dessert wines according to the method that wine was produced in Ancient Greece, 3000 years ago. The vineyard lies on a classified archaeological site where findings are displayed on the exact place where they were discovered. A truly unique feature of the Estate is the magnificent staircase that runs through the vineyard and numbers 157 steps.

Guests can participate in the weekly estate tour during the summer months to learn every detail of the estate’s ancient history and present endeavours.

It's all Greek to me !!!
Montofoli in the pictures and Montofoli in real life are two separate things , firstly a picture cannot do the estate justice. It can only capture part or glimpses of what you see . The estate is a must see in it's own rights , steeped in history but also in character and nostalgia. The Belvedere although one of the newer buildings contains it's own character and reminded me of a Greece I found over 30 years ago when I first visited the country . Yet the Belvedere also offers air conditioning in all of its rooms as well as the shutters to keep the rooms cool during the bright sunny days . The villa had all the mods and cons plus the picture you see of the veranda does not quite show it all, there is outside dining facilities and a nice grilling place if you want to BBQ . I picked up some very good meat from the butchers near the bank down from the church. Everything was well kept inside and the host made sure you had everything you needed , even the toiletries and pantry items were there ready . The Breakfast for the first morning was a great treat and I would say it was enough to set you up for the whole day and more. The beginning of the holiday and already we felt spoilt and well taken care of. The swimming pool was a good size for the two villas and there was outdoor showers both up by the villa and next to the pool . The views from each place, pool , Villa and gardens were stunning. The whole area is secure and safe, there is parking right next to the villa and a very good guard dog that my kids fell in love with . There is plenty to see and worth looking at the tours and exploring . Dimitri's taverna was my favourite place to eat and within walking distance. Karystos is not so touristy but has plenty of other tavernas I would be more inclined to eat at the tavernas recommended as there is one or two on the seafront that cost without the quality IMO. Mili is an up hill climb by foot but well worth the walk . The Red Castle I suggest as the host recommended , using a car until the carpark, as the climb can be a bit much if the sun is shining , but a must to visit. There are water falls , secluded beaches and hikes in a number of directions. To be honest I think we have just scratched the surface in two weeks but the memories are fantastic. We left Montofoli sad because we enjoyed our stay very much and we also enjoyed our time with the hosts which are a big part of the Montofoli magic . ευχαριστώ !

Fantastic
A wonderfull place at the vineyard. Lots of shade during the hot days. Maria is a great host and the daily breakfast was a surprise. There are nice beaches nearby and the walk in the gorge is a must.

Wunderschönes Anwesen und exzellente Gastgeber
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche in Montefolli Estate. Das Haus Belvedere ist sehr gut eingerichtet und ausgestattet, allles ist liebevoll und sorgsam gemacht. Danae und Constantino sind ausgezeichnete Gastgeber und stehen wirklich immer mit Rat & Tat zur Verfügung. Sie haben eine Unmenge Tipps, die uns die wunderschöne Gegend mit ihren großen und kleinen Attraktionen noch näher gebracht haben. Pool & Garten und alle Außenbereiche sind außergewöhnlich schön und bestens gepflegt. Von der Terasse des Haus Belvedere hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf das Meer. Kinder sind mit allem, was zu ihnen gehört, herzlich willkommen. Insgesamt eine tolle Empfehlung für Familien, die einen besonderen und authentischen Urlaub verbringen möchten. We had a miraculous week in the Montofoli Estate. The house Belvedere is furnished very well and equipped, everything is affectionate and is made careful. Danae and Constantino are excellent hosts and are available really always with advice & action. They have a vast amount tips which have still given an understanding of the wonderful area with their great and small attractions to us. Pool & garden and all undeveloped outskirt areas are extremely nice and maintained very well. One has a wonderful view avon of the patio on the sea. Children are with all what belongs to them, pretty welcome. A total of one great recommendation for the families which would like to spend a particular and authentic vacation. Frank W.

About the host

Hosted by Estate Keeper

Host profile image
Our father bought this timeless estate in ruins in 1986 with the dream to revive it. He restored the historic buildings with respect to the land and its history. He also produced a unique sweet wine, Montofoli Estate, from the vineyard he planted in 1986, following the steps of his predecessors who cultivated this fertile land.

Following the restoration, we opened the estate to the public with the wish to contribute to the cultural advancement of the region: the estate is today open to guided tours, wine tastings, private dinners and hospitality: you can book one of the historical villas – each one with a distinguished character – and spend time with family and friends. You can even rent the estate for your private events, be them weddings, festivals, conferences etc.

Why they chose this property

Montofoli Estate is famous for its uncommon, effervescent AMBIENCE that provides a sense of belonging, which can only be experienced on site. Enjoying a stay in one of the villas within the estate is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that guests treasure for years to come.

What makes this property unique

Authenticity, historical place, large surface villa, quiet, vineyard, fantastic views near a small town still authentic.
