Property info

Montofoli Wine Estate, is a place where time simply stops. A member of the Historic Hotels of Europe,it has been inhabited by Hellenes, Venetian, Byzantine, Catalan, Franks, and Ottomans; each civilization has left its distinctive mark on the estate that you can see until today. It has been the center of non-stop activity since times BC, "Palaia Chora" (=the old town), blessed with running water, a land rich in nutrients and strong winds that protect from bacteria growing in its crops. During your stroll in our gardens you will meet many different kinds of citrus trees, lemons, oranges, bitter oranges, bergamot, tangerines, kumquat and the rare babylon grapefruit, brought from Egypt and planted here by the previous owner. You will find almond trees, apricots, apples, khaki fruit, figs, grapes and vines that produce our awarded dessert wine "Ktima Montofoli"! The four historical villas on the estate are unique in character, decoration and spirit. The Dovecote is built on the ruins of Roman baths (note the concave entrance) and was used to host the Pascha's stables during the Ottoman occupation. The ceilings are of Karystian slate and wooden beams and the floors are all in white marble. The Red House, built at the turn of last century (1900s) is a classical example of aristocratic Neoclassical architecture in Greece (note the high ceilings) and is decorated with Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Belle Epoque details. Villa Amfithea, the restored sheep stables is the most modern villa on the property with undisturbed views of the bay of Karystos and a large covered terrace. The Belvedere, set high on its terrace, is a classical example of Karystian architecture of the 1950s (when the new city plan of Karystos was drawn) and has a covered terrace and a veranda open to the evening skies. All four villas can house 4 people in comfort, are fully air-conditioned and have access to the shared pool, the Estate gardens and the vineyard. You will find free Wi-Fi inside and outdoors.
