In the middle of May, my wife and I visited Lagkadia, Greece for about twelve days. The village of Lagkadia is a treasure. It is a beautiful, charming, heartwarming village set in the side of a mountain in Arkadia in the north central part of the Peloponnese. There are few villages like it anywhere in Greece.
While there, we had the good fortune to experience Agnantio Studios, a guesthouse with a cluster of three fine apartments located in the upper end of the village. The location is ideal. The rooms are situated overlooking the village and, from the balcony of the room, we had a wonderful, panoramic view of the surrounding valley, mountains, and homes in the central part of the village. The space inside was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved the canopy bed, the fireplace, wall-hangings and furniture. The place was spacious with a working kitchen and a roomy bathroom.
The hosts at Agnantio, Dora and Takis treated us like royalty. The level of hospitality here was unparalleled. We took many of our meals at Aroma Café, a small restaurant they run in the central village. Food was delicious and drinks were generously served, but the memories that are most genuine and significant are based on the openness, cordiality and generosity of the owners. We thank you all, including Christo, Takis’ hard-working brother, for this unforgettable experience. We will return.
