An original Lagadian house
In Orini (Mountainous) Arkadia, birthplace of the myths of Pan and the Nymphs, the idealized pastoral land of the Renaissance, an authentic traditional Greek house is transformed into a guesthouse of three distinct residences.
The serene landscape is unified with the Arcadian simplicity, the modern amenities, and the childhood memories creating Gileri Eco & Design Residences.
Gileri Eco & Design Residences is a guest house in Greece that was born when traditional architecture met modern design and minimal aesthetics in the mountains of Arcadia.
Its three residences reintroduced Arcadian simplicity into hospitality. Blending in with the unique architecture of this traditional Greek village, the visitor is sumerged into the atmosphere of the authentic Lagadia dwelling.
The comfortable living room, quality furniture and upholstery, and the unique character of each residence guarantee visitors a relaxing and restful stay. The residences are fully equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, games and books for all ages. You will never want to leave!
For those who seek a balance between the life of a traditional - picturesque village close to Athens and a tourist destination, Lagadia is the ideal choice.
The masons of Lagadia without a question have left behind a local inheritance of exquisite buildings, which today have been characterized as contemporary monuments, like the High School building of Lagadia (see pic) and the church of Taxiarches, on the main road.
Other renowned such sites are the house of the Deligiannis family - a famous local family that played a leading role during the Greek Revolution of 1821 and the early years of the Greek State - and the church of Agios Ioannis across it.
There is also the mansion of the Rigopoulos family in the upper part of the village and other equally remarkable traditional stone buildings, which despite not being under any official state of protection, are not lacking in beauty.
Nowadays most of those traditional buildings (and remnants) are situated as single residential complexes in the lower part of Lagadia.
Some of them stand out for their unique morphology or their impressive architecture in some parts. The simple residences, old shops and workshops, roads without cars, all look like an outdoor museum.
Considering the small elevation differences, given the fact that Lagadia are built on the mountain side, this makes a walk around easy.
The center of the village is the main square. A square of plane trees and a view of an evergreen mountain. Within a walking distance of 400m, from the old municipal hotel to the church of Taxiarches, are all the stores and shops that cover most of the visitors’ needs.
Coffee shops, bars, grocery shops, restaurants, taverns, gift shops with traditional products and many more. Lagadia also has an ATM and a Citizens Service Center.
Just a few meters from our guesthouse is the Lagadia Elementary School. Surely our young visitors will enjoy themselves in the small playground situated at the schoolyard, and the amazing view it offers.
