First stay
The property owner cannot be faulted with her kindness and consideration. We felt that the cleanliness could be improved, and we felt that there was an excess of clutter contained in the residence.

Everything we expected and more. Sophia and Morgens are wonderful hosts. Wonderful hints for places to eat and things to see and how to avoid any driving problems. We were there for two weeks and wished we could stay longer.

From communications before arrival to a goodbye at the gate the hosts were wonderful, attentive and very helpful. My wife had been walking through Italy for three weeks while I was leading a scooter tour around Greece. The plan was for me to join her in Italy but the Peloponnese was cooler and had much less tourist so she joined me. We were looking for a nice quite comfortable place to spend some time and Casa Sophia exceeded our expectations. Though we spent most of our time on the terrace reading or walking locally, we made a daily venture up the mountains to one of the small villages for lunch. Or, we drove the quick 5 minutes down the mountain to one of the local beach towns. This was a fantastic break for us and Casa Sophia and it's location is what made it so. PS: even the knifes where sharp.

A lovely historic villa
We loved our stay in Casa Sophia. The location is fantastic. You can beach in the morning and explore the mountain villages in the afternoon. This casa is a wonderful jumping off point. The little village is so peaceful and you feel as though you have stepped back in time. Sophia C. is a lovely hostess, there when you need her but completely respectful of privacy. We especially appreciated the welcome goodies she left for us.

Paradise with a view
Our first impression of Casa Sophia was the description and photo on the website. Following our booking we received a wonderful description of Sophia and Mogens home and, the surrounding area. We drove from the North West of The Peleonnese using the descriptive guide from Sophia and Mogens and arrived, with no hickups, late in the afternoon. The surprise awaited us!!!!! We parked our car out of the village and walked slowly through the narrow, cobbled roads and lanes to the beautiful wrought iron front gates of Casa Sophia. Sophia greeted us with a welcoming smile and showed us through her gorgeous home. Once we stepped onto the terrace and, then inside, the peace came over us. The house offered us all we wished for, including some extra goodies! We made ourselves at home and sorted out our luggage as we had been travelling for 3 weeks. Sophia kindly washed our travel soiled clothing and offered us suggestions of the different possibilities of exploring the mountains or the coastline. We spent our days arising late, enjoying a delicious breakfast on the terrace listening to the birds and gazing at the azure Mediteranean Sea. Off in the car exploring the mountain villages was an adventure and great fun discovering the spots to stop for a Greek salad and coffee - one under a 100 year old Sycamore tree. The Bysantine Chapels and churches are very special in this area and well worth stopping to take a look inside. As it was very hot we always made it to the sea for a late cooling swim, headed back to Pygos, refreshed ourselves and then drove 10 mins to one of the seaside villages for a delicious Greek meal. Thank you very much Sophia and Mogens for our wonderful stay in your home and congratulation on making it such a special place. We will recommend Casa Sophia on the Mani in the Peleponnese to our friends, family and travel agent. Go well both of you. Warmest regards, Kerrie and Rob

About the host

Hosted by Sophia C

Host profile image
After finding Casa Sophia, and restoring it with my partner and we now live permanently in Greece and it has opened up so many wonderful aspects to life. Apart from renting out Casa Sophia and meeting so many interesting and lovely people, we have accumulated some experience and good contacts throughout the years and also because we live here all year round, we are also able to offer other house owners close by, a variety of services throughout the year.

How I ended up in Greece doing what I do...

Having spent many years in the fast lane in I.T. , and spending all my holidays trekking and travelling, I decided that my love was discovering the beautiful places and people that make up this world. So I gave up work and planned a year travelling around the world. I never regretted one moment of my travels, and after a year realized that I no longer wanted to sit behind a desk in an office in a city. So I borrowed my sister's house in Greece to spend a little time deciding what to do next. I knew I didn't want to return to the UK, and 3 days before leaving Greece I found Casa Sophia. I sold everything I had in the UK, and have been here ever since – 11 years. And what an amazing journey that has been. Being here all year round, and deciding to rent out part of Casa Sophia, it seemed right to make Casa Sophia a home from home, and to spend time making the house, garden, and terrace as cosy as possible so that our guests can appreciate the tranquillity of this part of Greece and for them to have time out from their busy lives. Just as I found that peace on my travels. Also being here all year round we found that we could, unlike other rental homes, put time and nurture into Casa Sophia, giving our guests privacy but also support and help when and if they need it. So far a winning combination that we greatly enjoy.

Why they chose this property

My sister had had a house here for 22 years and I visited her many times. It was only when I saw Casa Sophia, a village cottage in a very bad state of repair, that I decided to live here in Greece. My love of mountains, sea and history made this village and the cottage the perfect mix for me - all 3 loves rolled up into one package. The little country lanes around the village that can lead to spectacular views of the mountains or entice you to discover more – the quaint old villages in the mountains tucked away out of sight, or to wander down to the little village cafe where the views of the sea and coast are breathtaking and which make you want to dip your toe in the water at one of the many beaches nearby. The village is very old, and has its share of Byzantium chapels and history. It has been a labour of love for my partner and I to make it beautiful and to still retain its roots with all the modern conveniences we expect in these times.

What makes this property unique

Our favourite things about Casa Sophia. Waking up to the view out of the main bedroom window overlooking the terrace with the vine covered pergola, the arches of jasmin and all our flower pots filled with herbs and flowers, and in the distance the sea. Tranquillity. The garden also a labour of love, growing our own summer vegetables and the beautiful orange tree, a centre piece of the garden with it scented blossom in the spring and sweet oranges in the early summer, and being able to when we can, to share what we have grown with our guests and let them be reminded what old fashioned home grown food, like tomatoes with smell of earth, taste like. Because we are here all year round, we can put all our energy into the garden, terrace and house, making it a home from home. It is so easy here to walk out of the gate and wander through the little alleyways of the village and then perhaps take one of the little lanes outside the village and enjoy the wild flowers that are magnificent here in the Spring, a kaleidoscope of colour including rare orchids and brilliant red anemones. Or follow one of the kalderimis (donkey paths) that are everywhere here. Some lead to the sea and some lead to the mountains – such a choice. The seasons here provide so much diversity – from the colourful early springs, ideal walking weather to the long lazy summers where we watch the sunsets and night sky from the terrace with all the candles lit, and to the warm autumns where you can still swim until quite late in the year from one of the many beaches, each with its own character. Within Casa Sophia itself, we love all the things we have collected here in Greece and elsewhere. There is always something to look at with its own story and at night by candle light, illuminating the old stone arch in the kitchen and the high wooden ceiling reminding us of its past.
