A small house,
a long memory.

Villa Antonia was built in 1974 — the first house guests saw entering Pefkochori. For over fifty years, run by the same family. Recently renovated, still in the heart of the village, still 150 metres from the sea.

Our story

A small house with a long memory.

Villa Antonia was built in 1974 — the first house guests saw entering Pefkochori. For five decades it welcomed families, couples and friend groups looking for a simple, comfortable place to spend a Halkidiki summer.

The village has changed around it: more cafés, more bakeries, faster roads, better Wi-Fi. The pine grove still rustles. The beach is still 150 metres away. And the house is still here — same plot, same name, still run by the same family.

What's new is the inside. After a full renovation, the five apartments are bright, comfortable and freshly fitted out, ready to host the next chapter of guests.

Fifty-something years

How we got here.

1974
Built by the family
The same year the road into Pefkochori was paved, the first stones went down. Built to host the visitors who'd just started arriving from Thessaloniki and the Balkans.
'80s–'10s
Forty summers of guests
A steady stream of families and friend groups, some returning every July. The neighbourhood grew up around the house — tavernas, bakeries, the supermarket on the corner.
2024
Renovation begins
Six apartments down to the bare walls. New plumbing, new wiring, new bathrooms and kitchens. Everything that should work, made to work.
Today
Doors back open
Five freshly renovated apartments, ready for guests again. Same family, same warm welcome — just a much better shower head.
The renovation

What we kept,
what we changed.

A renovation is a series of small choices. Here are the ones we cared about. Some things stayed exactly as they were — others we rebuilt from scratch.

We kept

  • The plot and the nameThe same house at the village entrance, still called Villa Antonia.
  • The feel of the placeA small, family-run accommodation — close to the sea, close to the village.
  • The original layoutThe bones of the building, the balconies, the way the rooms open to the light.
  • The welcomeSame family, same warm reception we've offered since 1974.

We changed

  • Everything insideA full renovation, top to bottom, room by room.
  • Comfort & equipmentNew bathrooms, new kitchen corners, new beds — modern comforts throughout.
  • Climate & connectivityA/C in every apartment, fast Wi-Fi everywhere, better insulation.
  • A fresh lookBright, calm interiors in our cream-and-teal palette, designed for a relaxed summer.
How we host

Three things we care about.

01

Real comfort, no fuss.

You shouldn't have to figure out anything on arrival. The Wi-Fi works, the A/C is set, towels are folded, fridges are stocked. After that we get out of the way.

02

The village does the rest.

We don't do breakfast — but the bakery does, at fifty metres. We don't run a bar — but the village has plenty of them. We're a base camp, not a resort.

03

Around if you need us.

If something's not right, tell us. If you need a tip on where to swim or eat, ask.

Where we are

In the heart of Pefkochori.

Villa Antonia sits right on the main street at the village entrance — the kind of location where you can leave the car parked for a week and reach everything you need on foot.
