The area has historically served as a retreat for Agarathos monastery as well as a vineyard. The picturesque views bring to mind images from Tuscany and Val d'Orcia.
Currently Villa Mantilari is available to be booked as a single accomodation or as two separate villas with each having a private pool and a private entrance, for small groups of up to 15-24 people, or as a wedding venue for more people.
