Home description
At Jasmine Cottage you are sure to find tranquillity and a real flavour of Greece in a charming village setting. This enchanting whitewashed cottage was once the village shop! Lovingly restored it retains many traditional features; particularly striking are the 'whole' Chestnut beams that run the width of the cottage. Thick stonewalls keep it fresh and cool in summer and warm in winter. Full of character Jasmine cottage nestles in a green and peaceful garden situated on the edge of Old Mouzaki village. On the doorstep, Mount Vouno provides a wondrous backdrop with hillside paths through olive groves and woodlands to explore. A stroll around the friendly village reveals typically Greek local life and, little gems like the Church of the Virgin Mary built in 1741 with spectacular views across the southeast plains of the island.
• Whilst the location feels like it's a million miles away from the commerciality of the tourist resorts, it is in fact readily in reach of all the glorious south eastern beaches, from quiet coves to golden sand-strips. Traditional tavernas, a bakery and corner shop are in walking distance with restaurants and town life just 10 minutes drive away.
