Description
We are a Swiss couple living in the Peloponnese, Greece for about six months a year. We have two producing olive groves plus many other young trees that need care. We also plant vegetables for ourselves, collect wild and garden herbs, Everything is produced in an organic, sustainable manner. We love and respect our trees and enjoy to live in the midst of them.
Our house is two kilometers from the sea with beautiful beaches, outside the small farming village of Lachanada. You will stay in our spacious, traditional Mongolian yurt - a great experience. We can accommodate two people in the yurt.
