Pelion Villas is a collection of private self-catering villas in Tsagarada village on the eastern slopes of Mount Pelion, Magnesia, in Thessaly, Greece. Tsagarada sits at an elevation of around 550 m overlooking the Aegean Sea, approximately 50 km northeast of Volos by road. The villas are constructed in the regional Pelion architectural style with stone exteriors and traditional wooden elements, blending into the forested landscape of plane trees and chestnut woods for which Tsagarada is celebrated. Each villa includes a fully equipped kitchen, allowing guests complete independence from hotel schedules. Private pools, panoramic terraces with Aegean Sea views, outdoor BBQ facilities, and high-speed Wi-Fi distinguish the properties from standard hotel accommodation and make them especially suited to families, couples seeking privacy, or small groups traveling together. Villa sizes range from one-bedroom units appropriate for two guests to three-bedroom configurations accommodating up to six or eight people. Tsagarada is a cluster of four neighborhoods — Agia Kyriaki, Agia Paraskevi, Agia Taxiarches, and Agia Triada — each with its own square, tavernas, and church. The village square at Agia Paraskevi hosts one of the oldest plane trees in Greece, reportedly over a thousand years old. The East Pelion coastline below Tsagarada — including Mylopotamos, Fakistra, and Damouchari beaches — is reachable by short but steep drives, offering some of the most scenically striking Aegean coves in Thessaly. Pelion Villas represents a high-quality private retreat for travelers seeking self-contained luxury in a distinctive mountain-and-sea landscape.
