Your Experienced Superhost 

Jill, an English native with a profound love for Greece, isn't just your Superhost at Silk Tree Cottage – she's a living embodiment of Pelion's allure. With 28 years of hosting experience under her belt and an outstanding 4.83/5  rating from hundreds of reviews, Jill has turned her passion for Pelion into a way of life.

Deep Roots & Unrivalled Local Knowledge

She first fell for the lush Pelion peninsula some 35 years ago and has called Mouresi home for the last 30. This long-standing connection grants her an unparalleled understanding of the region: from hidden footpaths and traditional cobbled mule tracks (she's walked most of them!) to local customs, authentic cuisine, and the nuances of traditional Pelion properties. She describes the area as "the magic mountain," a place where nature is powerful, inspirational, and healing.

Your Guide to Pelion Adventures & Activities

As your host, Jill goes above and beyond. She's always eager to share invaluable insights into Pelion's highlights – because whilst everywhere is beautiful, some spots hold a particular magic. She can point you towards local activities, such as kayaking and paddleboarding in the famed Damouchari harbour (of "Mamma Mia!" fame) or perhaps a Pilates class in the neighbouring village of Tsagarada. She's also an experienced walking guide and can lead you on stunning routes or provide maps for self-guided exploration.

Personality, Passions & Furry Friends

Beyond her expertise, Jill possesses a warm personality, a wonderfully silly sense of humour (ready for fun when time allows!), and a great affection for animals (particularly donkeys!). You'll likely meet her resident cats: Nancy, Pick Pocket, MeMy, and Minimouse. Due to their presence, visiting dogs cannot unfortunately be accommodated. Jill follows a healthy, vegetarian lifestyle, adoring salads and local fruit – feel free to ask her for tips on local flavours!

Ensuring an Authentic & Unforgettable Stay

Having lived and breathed Pelion for decades, Jill is the perfect person to help you unlock the authentic spirit of this region and make your stay at Silk Tree Cottage a truly unforgettable experience. She's happy to offer useful information and ensures you have essentials like a kettle in your room.
