We live and work in Athens with our four children, and on weekends and holidays, we retreat to Esperides, where we enjoy growing vegetables and raising small animals. Dedicated Hosts at Your Service During your stay at Esperides, my wife and I are always available to ensure your comfort. We visit the property every two to three days to clean the pool and tend to the garden. Depending on availability, we also offer our guests homemade meals, fresh vegetables from our garden, a bottle of homemade wine, olive oil from our trees, or eggs from our chickens.
