This spectacular villa is sure to provide the perfect backdrop for your summer holiday. Just one look out over the water from your private pool deck will let you know you’re in a truly special place. This home is located 30 metres from the beach, and just outside pretty Petalidi, a little coastal village that offers a dreamy break to beach lovers and cobblestone street explorers alike. It offers the ideal retreat to return to when not out exploring the idyllic coast of this Greek haven.

Start your day by venturing out along the underground passage that goes directly from your home to the beach, and watch the sun come up over the gorgeous blue waves of the Messenian Gulf while you paddle on the shore. Come back up to your modern dwelling to grab yourself a delicious breakfast of Greek yoghurt with honey and granola, and tuck in at your stylish dining set. Make yourself up an ouzo cocktail and sit out on your stunning pool deck while gazing out over the sparkling sea view. Cool off from the midday sun with some lengths of your private pool, before reclining back on your hanging lounger chair. As the evening rolls in, make a pitcher of sundowners and sit out together on your outdoor table and chairs, and enjoy uninterrupted views of the sunset.

Inside, a sleek, contemporary decor in cool shades of white and pops of blue amplifies the ample natural light pouring through the windows.

While you could easily while away the whole day in your sugar cube sanctuary, venture into Methoni to visit the Bourtzi of Methoni Castle (a six-minute drive) or sink your toes in the sand at Paralia Methonis, a five-minute drive away or twenty-five minutes away on foot.

After you’ve had your fill of panoramic views, step inside via a pretty blue, wooden front door – true to tradition. Follow the glossy wooden floors through to the cute, country kitchen where you can prepare fresh cuts of meat for the barbecue.

Something of the Marvellous

Parking On Premises

The southern Peloponnese is known for its beautiful golden beaches, charming old-world villages and archaeological sites steeped in history. And from this spot in Valira, you'll be well-placed to make the most of it. Hop in the car to explore this picturesque region and you'll find something new at every turn. Head to Bouka Beach for a dip in the sea (just 18km away), nibble on the namesake olives in Kalamata's local eateries or step back in time at the ruins in Ancient Messene. 

Whatever you get up to, you'll love returning to this cosy home after a long day. Open a bottle of Greecian wine and enjoy it alfresco on the patio, breathing in the fresh air. Better yet, take a seat on the balcony and watch the sun dip below Valira's horizon as you dig into a feast prepared on the barbecue. The two outside spaces are hard to resist, but the open-plan layout inside is just as relaxing. Everyone can kick back, put their feet up and chill out together until bedtime, when the comfortable bedrooms are sure to be calling your name.

A Remembered Song

Perfectly designed in harmony with its natural surroundings to make you feel at home whilst nestled in luxury. Idyllically situated, surrounded by olive trees with uninterrupted views of the Ionian Sea, the bay of Navarino, and the Costa Navarino golf courses – you can even play a game yourself. From the timeless, white rattan furniture that gleams in the glistening sun, relax and enjoy the never-ending views from every angle of this villa.

Tap into the present moment of stability with yoga in your designated quiet area and embrace the stillness of the scenery, with the sound of birds chirping in the background. Through the gliding doors of your bedroom, step out onto the terrace and sink into the sunlounger, ready for a day of sunbathing with your favourite book. Cook Moussaka for an evening of alfresco dining as the sun sets, then retire to the outdoor lounge to warm up around the fireplace while gazing up at the stars.


Nature to Sea

Nice to haves

It’s difficult to describe this home without seeming overly enthusiastic – it’s a one-in-a-million property. The glass exterior means that the building doesn’t overwhelm the natural surroundings – it seems as though this home has simply sprung up from the rocky hillside on which it sits. 

Inside, smooth concrete floors meet the floor-to-ceiling windows to give a light, earthy vibe. Natural wood tones add warmth, as does the mellow sunlight that streams through. Blackout curtains in the bedroom mean you’ll sleep like a baby, but when you’re ready to start the day you can step straight from bed to the sunny outside space. 

This home’s vantage point, and clever design, mean that you benefit from incredible views from almost every angle. Diving into the infinity pool gives you a glorious vista of the beautiful Peleponnese peninsula, while dining in the indoor-outdoor space showcases the lush countryside surroundings. 

Situated in the village of Pyla, you’re only five kilometres from the town of Pylos, where you can dine out or shop, and you can be in historic Messenia in under an hour. It’s hard to imagine tearing yourself away from the hammock here though… This is the kind of holiday home you never forget.
