The Aussie and the Fat French Peasant

The Aussie and the Fat French Peasant

B&B accomodation in the stunning gorge country near Kardamyli in the Peloponnese. Only 3 km from the sea and one hour from the snow capped mountains.

We moved to Agia Sofia from Australia in 2013 and have built a beautiful stone house in the historical Byzantine style of the area, among the olive groves on the terraces above Kardamyli. The house is available for long term or holiday rentals. It is self contained with full kitchen and outdoor kitchen, two bathrooms, open plan living area and extensive outdoor terraces. It sleeps 4 for a wonderful walking holiday through the cypress clad gorges or a relaxing break enjoying the panoramic view of the bay of Messina. The beach is only 3 km away and the villages of Kardamyli and Stoupa have many cafes, restaurants and quaint shops. If you are an artist or writer looking for an inspiring haven where you can concentrate on your creative work then look no further. We are both artists who enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature. The nearest village has only 20 residents and the house is surrounded by a bird reserve and olive groves with a view that takes your breath away.
We have a plan to host sculpture and painting workshops in the future.
Our adventures in Greece have brought us the joy of rescuing two donkeys and a dog. We plan to add to our menagerie, breeding from both the donkeys and the dog and adding chickens and geese to the mix. Who knows, donkey treks might be possible in the future.
Our house is not yet built but is close by to the holiday rental house.
