Tsagarada, Pelion

Behind the vast and ancient plane tree in Agia Paraskevi village square, a 19th century mansion facade conceals a delightful English country house within, complete with Blue Willow crockery, library and rose garden. This charming 8-roomed hotel is a labour of love for Greek-English owners Christos (the chef) and Claire, who are welcoming, attentive yet discreet hosts. After breakfasting on free-range scrambled eggs, hike down to Damouhari through glorious chestnut forests, then head back for a G&T in the conservatory. Cap it all off with a candle-lit dinner of locally-derived seasonal morsels in the elegant dining room where a piano tinkles through hushed conversations.
