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. 

Sunsets & Silhouettes

Situated on a complex of two villas within walking distance of Ditikis Kalamatas Beach, this home is an excellent place for a family to make memories in the sunshine. If you’re in the mood for a little more hustle and bustle, the city of Kalamata is a short drive away. Outside, you'll find a pool deck furnished with loungers and a dining area for meals alfresco. Inside, you have everything you need for a stress-free stay and daily housekeeping means you get to sit back and relax.

Single-Level Home

Situated within striking distance of the city’s major landmarks, this homely apartment is perfectly placed for exploring all that Kalamata has to offer. Whether you’re here for the ancient architecture, the winding old town, or the dreamy harbour, this place has got you covered, perched just 800m from the city’s central square. Soak up gorgeous views from Kalamata’s Castle, settle in for an afternoon of sunbathing at the beach, or sample authentic Greek cuisine at a local restaurant. Bon appétit!

Later, when you’ve had your fill of being out and about, you’ll come home to a cosy apartment in one of Kalamata’s quietest neighbourhoods, perfect for unwinding after a busy day of sightseeing. With two terraces at your disposal, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend the rest of the evening in the open air, sipping a cool glass of wine as you watch the sun go down over the city’s rooftops. Then, when it’s time to turn in for the night, snuggle up in your comfy double bed and let your memories of the day lull you to sleep.

Surrounded by flourishing greenery in a quiet corner of Kalamata, there's a refined sophistication to this villa. Much of this is down to the selection of furnishings and finishes to be found throughout, from the Venetian armchairs and the ornate chandelier to the selection of famous artistic prints dotted about the space.

However, it's not just an address that looks good on the surface – it's somewhere in which you'll find it wonderfully easy to turn off and relax. When the weather's warm, the verandah is the place to sit and gaze up at the Peloponesse skyline, but if the temperature takes a dip, you can retire next to the wood-burning fireplace or treat yourself to a long soak in the bathtub.

And of course, there will be some afternoons when the only place for it is the beach and Kalamata's main stretch of sand is only 800 metres away. You'll find a good selection of restaurants and bars along the seafront, too. Further afield, the towns of Ancient Thouria are only 30 kilometres away and well worth a visit.


Stillness in the Sky

Safe

Sitting on the southern coastline of the Peloponesse, the seafront city of Kalamata brings together wonderful beaches, mouth-watering cuisine and historic architecture that wears the region's history on its sleeve. This simple but stylish maisonette puts you in an excellent position to see the best attractions.

There's a contemporary sheen to the interior design, with Scandi-inspired furnishings and smart wooden floors rubbing shoulders with bursts of bright colours and artwork on the walls. The narrow shape of the space means that there aren't all too many windows and natural light, but there's a good amount of spotlights to combat any potential dullness.

When it comes to getting to know Kalamata, the central location means you're close to everything from restaurants and the harbour to the open-air railway museum set within a large park. The historic centre is just over a kilometre to the north, while the long and sandy Kalamatis beach sits a similar distance away in the opposite direction.

Good Enough to Eat

The two spacious bedrooms each feature a double bed for a good night's sleep. The bright bathroom and convenient washing room add to your comfort. Free Wi-Fi and street parking are available, and you can unwind on the balcony with a drink or a good book. The property's proximity to a bus stop, station, and supermarket makes it even more convenient. Just 10 minutes from the main town square and 2km from the city's long beach, it's the perfect base to explore Kalamata and enjoy unforgettable holidays throughout the year.

Nestled in the seaside village of Verga, near the Greek city of Kalámata, this charming villa awaits. Offering panoramic views of the Messenian gulf and the surrounding Taygetus mountains, this home offers a beautiful base from which to explore the southern coast.

The pebbly beaches nearby make for peaceful days out on the shore, but if you’re craving something a little more fast-paced, Kalámata Old Town's maze of cobbled streets are brimming with artisanal shops, museums, cafes and bars. For an insight into the city's rich history, the surrounding castles are also well worth a visit.

The terrace is definitely at the heart of this home, boasting a private swimming pool, comfy sun loungers and a barbecue. If you fancy a private dinner at home, grab some local seafood and fire up the grill. There are plenty of cosy spots from which to catch a sunset - pour yourself a glass of wine and take a seat on the balcony for the best views in the house.

A Piece of the Peloponnese

Ironing Board

Fire Extinguisher

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.

Breathtaking Seaview Villa

A beautiful home overlooking the Messinian gulf, this villa provides you with the perfect way to start your day.

If you’re not tempted to one of the nearby restaurants to indulge in a spot of local cuisine, your kitchen is more than capable of testing your culinary skills. Friends and family can gather at the table sharing stories as the nominated cook for the evening rustles up a delicious home-cooked meal. With great food, great company and the benefit of such a calm setting, you’ll feel utterly relaxed and completely at home.

Situated eight minutes from the historic city centre on the sun-soaked Peloponnese peninsula, this sprawling villa commands indoor-outdoor living. Your mornings will begin with a breakfast of freshly strained Greek yoghurt and fruit picked from your garden – choose to tuck in on the terrace or at the dining table in the elegant living space. 

Bob about in your private pool while soaking up the unobstructed views of the Messinian Gulf and when it’s time to kick back and relax, recline on a lounger in the glorious sunshine. Should you need to take a break from the heat, mix up refreshing cocktails in the kitchen as the big and little kids alike battle it out on the PlayStation Four. 

Spend afternoons exploring the coast – Kalamata Beach is only five minutes away – or head inland to the town of Sparti for its legendary history and quiet family-run tavernas. When it’s time to call it a day, return home to watch the sunset from your enviable vantage point as the city lights appear on the horizon.

Dazzling Horizon

You’ll find this villa ranged up in the hillside, a ten-minute drive from Petalidi, a coastal town home to family-run tavernas and a small beach. It might not be the most characterful home in our collection, but it's functional yet comfortable, with two en-suite bathrooms providing privacy and convenience. Outside, the terrace is geared up for relaxing thanks to the loungers. And if you need to take a break from the heat, that’s when the swimming pool and shady spots come in handy.

Hidden between olive groves, and surrounded by gorgeous gardens, this majestic castle stands atop the Mikri Mantineia hill. The exterior is striking to say the least, with rustic stonework, turrets and terraces overlooking the Messinian Bay, whilst the inside boasts traditional furniture, wooden beamed ceilings and winding stone staircases. 

Start your mornings on the balcony, the perfect place to soak up the spectacular scenery with a cup of coffee. If you're looking for a way to energise yourself for the day ahead, nothing beats a swim in the cool waters of the private pool. If you do manage to tear yourself away from this incredible home, there's plenty to explore in Kalamata. 

A pretty pebble beach is a short walk away, offering crystal clear waters and an array of cafes and taverns serving fresh fish. If you're looking to soak up some of the local history and culture, there are plenty of landmarks within driving distance, from ancient temples built in the 1700s to museums offering a journey into the city's fascinating past. 

However you choose to spend your days, coming home to a castle is an experience in itself. The garden is the best place to wind down in the evenings. Pick some fresh fruits and vegetables from the trees, then cook an alfresco feast on the barbecue. Just as the sun begins to set choose a bottle of wine and watch the sky change colour over the ocean.

This cute little studio sits within the olive-grove countryside of the Peleponnese. With its own private terrace, you can gaze out over ancient olive trees, rugged hills and a patchwork of farmland. Out here, it’s pure peace and quiet, but you can head to Kritika Beach, a five-minute drive or half-hour walk away for a day on this popular stretch of sand. Or, head into the buzzing coastal town of Methoni for local tavernas and an ancient castle overlooking the beach (it’s a seven-minute drive).

Days here are designed to be spent outdoors. Your little studio may be kitted out with everything you need for a relaxing break – a full kitchen, comfy bed and distinctly Greecian traditional decor – but it’s the terrace that takes the biscuit. Flamingo-pink patio furniture enjoys an exceptional view of the surrounding countryside. Then there are the shared facilities for the whole complex. A turquoise pool invites you for a dip, and there’s a bar onsite for sundowners, snacks and your morning coffee.

With olive trees and blue skies as far as the eye can see, and the Ionian Sea sparkling in the distance, at this modern Greek home you'll feel instantly at one with nature. Spend your mornings swimming gentle laps in the shared infinity pool, then enjoy breakfast with a view on one of two private terraces. Sunseekers, this is the spot for you. 

The understated and comfortable home is fitted with everything you'll need for a stress-free stay, including a few extras – there's a communal barbecue, fitness room and children's playground on-site for your use. When you're ready to explore the stunning surrounding area, you're spoiled for scenic places to visit. Winding your way through silver-sheened groves, you'll reach the white-sand Zacharo beach in just ten minutes, stopping at a traditional taverna en route to sample local specialities. 

Land Meets Sea

If you were looking for perfect locations in which to build a home, this spot on the southeastern Peneloponese coastline would be a strong contender. Surrounded by lush vegetation — including trees growing olives, almonds, pears and lemons — it also has the added perk of having direct access to a secluded beach.

Part of a collection of five villas, this home makes the most of its beautiful position with a long terrace area containing an alfresco dining table, a couple of loungers and even a giant chess set. The interior has plenty of glass doors and large windows so you can still marvel at the scenery from inside, too. We're big fans of the decor, which is contemporary in style but subtle and unshowy about it.

As well as Kissakas beach almost quite literally on your doorstep, there are further seaside options a short drive away — like Tserfos just over a quarter of an hour's drive — as well as plenty of hiking routes and the town of Leonidio about fifteen minutes away in the car.



Play the Greek Defence

Tennis Court

Herb Garden

What better base in the ancient-ruin-filled peninsula of the Peloponnese than a neo-classic villa that radiates Grecian charm. This place was originally built in 1893 and is set in over 35,000 square metres of manicured grounds like a lavish country escape fit for nobility. The Mediterranean gardens are filled with blooming flowers, fragrant jasmine and wisteria, and you can help yourself to the vegetables, strawberries, peaches and apricots ripening in the sun. Outdoor lounges come swathed with white curtains, loungers are shaded by ancient olive trees and there’s a tennis court/basketball court and swimming pool for those that like to keep active. Underground changing rooms provide a bit of privacy. Perhaps head up to the rooftop terrace – a real sun-trap during the day. 

There’s a sense of luxurious nostalgia inside. Intricately carved armchairs reminiscent of medieval thrones sit in front of a brick fireplace in the main living room and oil paintings adorn the walls. Should you need to work remotely, there’s a dedicated office room with stacks and stacks of books to choose from too. Bedrooms continue the theme of grandeur with gilded mirrors and wrought-iron bed-frames. 

In terms of location, the Peloponnese has that distinct Greek Island feel, and the soft-sanded beach of Agia. Marina, lined with restaurants and bars, is just a five-minute walk away. 

Lady Ariadne

Shared Pool

This stunning villa is located in the peaceful countryside, with glorious views of the Ionian Sea. From its elevated clifftop position, this home offers access to a shared swimming pool and a lush garden area with a stone barbecue and alfresco dining space. Inside, you’ll find traditional stone walls and wooden beams. The nearest beach, Kalogria, is 2.7 kilometres away – we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. 


Siren's Lullaby

Breakfast Included

Sweeping sea views take centre stage at this chic maisonette set along the Mani Peninsula in the village of Neochori. Part of an intimate holiday complex, you’ll share the stylish swimming pool and communal terraces with a handful of other apartments. But that private sea-facing balcony at the apartment to enjoy complimentary breakfasts delivered to your door is all yours. You’ll need a car to explore the nearby seaside villages of Stoupa and Agios Nikolaos (a five-minute drive). Or let your host arrange an excursion to Limeni, Areopolis or the impressive Diros Caves. 

Honey Hued Sun

You’ll find this elegant home in the sun soaked Peloponnese, a short drive from the lively seaside city of Kalamata. Inside, rooms are decorated in creamy tones and filled with antique furnishings – we particularly loved the merlot red sofa in the living space. After waking up with a coffee at the breakfast bar, step into the sunshine on the balcony and breathe in the fresh air. Gaze across the glittering seascape as you lap up Greek yoghurt at the alfresco dining table before sliding on your sandals and exploring your surroundings. 

Take the short drive over to Almiros Beach for a dip in the warm Mediterranean then nip over to Kalamata for its picturesque old town, selection of museums and long stretch of golden sand. Come evening, pick out a local restaurant for traditional dishes or return home for a slap-up barbecue and a couple of glasses of wine at sundown.

Seaside Flow

Nestled within a garden of olive trees with views across the Taïgetos mountains, everything about this home celebrates the rustic beauty of its setting.

Inside, the interiors are refreshingly simple with vistas that will leave you feeling captivated by the charm of the Peloponnese. Outside, peaceful days can be spent relaxing in the garden or on nearby Pantazi beach (just a 250m walk away). The picturesque port is also nearby and provides the perfect opportunity to mingle with locals in traditional tavernas. And for explorations further afield, the region is brimming with beautiful beaches, coves, picturesque hilltop villages and spectacular hiking trails. 

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a sanctuary to rest, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living. Gather for dreamy sunset drinks, enjoy cooking with fresh local produce in the fully equipped kitchen or rustle up a treat on the barbecue. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, the air-conditioned rooms set the tone for a peaceful night’s rest, while the fire in the living room will keep you cosy in cooler months.

Luxury Sea Retreat

Nestled on the hillside above the Bay of Tolo, you'll find this beautiful villa. With plenty of space, incredible gardens, and a fabulous location, it's the ideal place to press pause and recharge your batteries. 

This home has been designed to make the most of the fantastic coastal views – you can wake up and step straight onto the balcony and sip your coffee as you admire the stunning scenery. Come afternoon, you'll want to make the most of the Greek sunshine and stretch out on a lounger to catch some rays, before plunging into the pool for a refreshing swim. And, when evening rolls around, mix some cocktails to sip on the terrace before you serve up a tasty alfresco feast under the pergola.

Take a three-minute drive down into the village of Tolo to visit the long sandy beach and dine on fresh seafood at the local tavernas. The historic town of Nafplio is just twelve minutes away by car, where you'll find fascinating museums, winding streets, and even an imposing castle. And, then at the end of the day, you can head home for a long soak in the hot tub under the stars – bliss. 

Perfect Blend

Beach / Pool Towels

This luxurious villa is located in the Exclusive Villas Resort, a fabulous holiday complex on the Messenian Gulf, just 15 kilometres from the city of Kalamata and the airport Captain Vassilis Constantakopoulos. The villa has four bedrooms, a living room with dining area and kitchen, as well as ensuite and separate bathrooms. The views from the villa are spectacular, and there is a lovely private swimming pool and terrace. The Resort also features a tennis court, a basketball court, pathways to discover Mani natural beauty and every commodity you might need like parking spaces in all rooms and free WIFI.

The Mansion

Looking out over the picturesque village of Methoni in Messenia, Peloponnese, this striking villa looks like a dazzling sugar cube against the blue of the sky. 
 
One of three villas nestled amongst the surrounding scenic olive groves, you’ll have wide-sweeping views across the coast – best enjoyed from the main bedroom’s balcony at sunset – while the glistening private pool invites you to relax and unwind in its calming waters.
 
Inside, a sleek, contemporary decor in cool shades of white and pops of blue amplifies the ample natural light pouring through the windows. And we love the attention to detail your hosts have given to make you feel right at home – like the welcome basket of locally sourced goodies including fresh olive oil from the groves surrounding your home, handpicked and pressed for your enjoyment. 
 
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.


Cubic Splendour

This modern stone villa makes an instant impression. Situated in a holiday complex in Lefktro, overlooking the rugged landscape of West Mani, this villa is an idyllic spot for friends or family to spend quality time. You’ll need a car here to access Pantazi Beach and the mountainous village of Pigi – there’s parking for you here. The complex has been celebrated in several architectural features, which is clear from the contemporary designs and thoughtful use of space. We love the central cantilever staircase, the sunken terrace that merges with the infinity pool and the sleek interiors – it’s a unique spot to share Greek feasts and while away the days under the Ionian sun. 

The Garden of Gods

Perched on top of a Peloponnese hillside surrounded by olive trees, this humble villa is one of four homes built from local stone that will sing to anyone after a quiet sojourn away from the crowds.

The whitewashed interior is instantly calming upon entrance and follows a minimalist approach to design. What few driftwood decorations and framed pictures there are do add a rustic charm. We should mention that the kitchen is certainly on the smaller side, but there's everything there needed to cook the group a hearty dinner. 

Although there's a table inside, there's another out on the terrace outside from which the locale's tranquillity can be truly appreciated. The invitingly blue outdoor swimming pool shared between all of the onsite villas is an equally pleasant spot to do this from, too.

When you fancy reentering civilisation, Mavrovouni Beach takes all of five minutes to reach in the car and the coastal town of Methoni is a twelve-minute drive when you're after restaurants and markets.



Enjoy The Silence

Perched on a hillside and offering striking sea views, this villa is an ideal base for those looking for a serene coastal break. Panoramic vistas can be enjoyed from the open-plan living room’s wall of glass doors that seamlessly lead out onto a sun-drenched patio. Here, a private pool and ample outdoor seating beckon long hours soaking up the rays, before gathering for shaded alfresco meals under the pergola. When you’re ready to venture out, the village of Petalidi is a ten-minute drive away, where you’ll find tavernas, shops, the church of Saint Nikolaos and an inviting pebble beach.

This picturesque fishing village invites you to slow down among its hilly vistas, traditional taverns, and seaside restaurants. There is no better place for a relaxing and romantic getaway on the Messenian Gulf.

Something of the Marvellous

Umbrellas

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. 

Glass & Stone

On the peaceful shores of western Mani, this home provides a calm coastal escape. You’ll be welcomed by beautiful views, a private pool (heated upon request) and soothing interiors. Breakfast is included in your stay, plus the rooms are family-friendly with children’s amenities and babysitting services available upon request. Your host can also organise a range of extras including wellness treatments and private chefs – a lovely option for those seeking total relaxation. And when you’re looking to adventure further afield, Pantazis Beach is just 9.2 kilometres away, while Stoupa is just 12.9 kilometres from here.
