About this property

Stone's Throw Cottage by the sea in Koroni - sleeps 6

.
Masks are still mandatory when shopping.
Within Greece, the Messinia region where Koroni is located has recorded very few cases of Covid.
Stone’s throw Cottage & Studio are located outside the town. Koroni centre is an easy 20 min walk or a 5 min drive away. Both properties are safe, secluded havens, set amongst an olive grove with direct access to a peaceful, uncrowded beach. Both houses are fully equipped to allow for a very comfortable and relaxing stay, putting guests in command of how much they interact with the local community.
Cleaning & disinfecting procedures have been ramped up to ensure the safety of our
guests. Linen is washed between guests at a high temperature.
So, if you are ready for that beach holiday in a stunning location then we look forward to welcoming you~

Set in an olive grove about 100 mtrs or less from the beautiful, sandy Zaga beach is this wonderful, family holiday home.
The property has two bedrooms, one with a new Queen sized bed complete with beautiful linen and cotton bedding. There is a large wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, the other bedroom has two single beds again with very nice bedding, and a large chest of drawers.
There is also a double sofa/bed in the lounge/kitchen area, so the cottage can sleep up to 6 people comfortably.
There is a shower room in the property with a shower, basin, w.c. and washing machine. Water is heated by Solar and is very hot!
All towels, including beach towels and clean linen are provided .
The kitchen is fulled fitted out and is part of the living area. There is a table and chairs, bookcase, full sized cooker and large fridge freezer, the kitchen has all amenities, kettle, toaster, juicer, pots and pans and all cutlery. There is a cafetiere and tea pot. There is a good sized sink with drainer and worktops. At this time the kitchen sink has only cold water but hot water can be brought from the shower room.
Air conditioning is in the main bedroom and in the living area and can be used for heating in the cooler months.
The Cottage is light and airy and benefits greatly from sea breezes in the hot Summer months....
Double doors lead of the Living area/kitchen to the balcony towards the sea. Here you will find a small greek style table and chairs and a single banquette (Greek style concrete bed) with mattress for a great siesta on a hot afternoon! or sleep outside on one of those sultry nights. There are glimpses of the sea from this balcony and views of the garden and olive groves around.
Leading of the bedrooms is another long balcony, a lovely place to sit and watch the sea, and admire the surrounding area.
Although the property is detached, a few mtrs. away is Stone's Throw Studio, a completely separate rental property, suitable for 2 adults and 2 small children and right on the beach, but if you wish, the two properties can be rented together .
There is plenty off road parking on the land with a large car port to take two cars. and whilst a car is not a necessity it is recommended, or why not hire bikes from Uli, details in the cottage.
The town of Koroni is a half hour walk away along the beach, up through the atmospheric, medieval Castle with its few inhabitants. There is a monastery and churches within the Castle walls and stupendous views from the walk around the perimeter. Then take a walk down the steps into town, the best way, but there are other walking options.
In the town you will find everything for your needs, Supermarket, Bakers, Fresh Fish, Cafes, Restaurants, Banks with ATM machines in several languages and there are also taxis for hire and a fairly frequent bus service that takes you to Kalamata with its charming old quarter, about 1 hours drive away. There is also a car hire company.
Koroni town is charming, built on terraces with its red roof buildings, wander round the backstreets and find quaint cottages and Byzantine churches.....
Along the harbourside are many restaurants, a good one specializing in Fish and all with their own unique charm, and if its a late night and you cant face the walk back, jump in a taxi with a friendly driver for about 5 euros!
If you want to eat more locally to the cottage there are 3 restaurants along the beach, all within easy walking distance.
Zaga beach where the property is situated is home to nesting Loggerhead Turtles in the Summer months and all along the beach you will see nests from June to September, they are protected and monitored by young volunteers and if you are lucky and on the beach at the right time you will see the hatchlings rushing to the sea, a wonderful sight. You would be welcome to join the volunteers on their early morning inspection of the nests....but be prepared to join them at 06.00 a.m.
Enjoy the cottage garden, with many beautiful trees and shrubs. There is a patio with pergola to shade you when necessary .
Imagine, waking up and taking a very short walk and you could be swimming in the clear blue sea in a matter of a minute or less, the Cottage and Stone's Throw Studio are what dreams are made of for beach lovers.

Enjoy the Summer Music Festival that Koroni hosts every year, with concerts to suit all tastes, there are usually 2 concerts a week in wonderful locations, tickets can be bought from a gift shop "Aldebaran" in Koroni Town.

Lovely, fully equipped home from home in a stunning location!

A piece of paradise

The location is a dream. Quietness, really a few meters from sandy beach. You hear only birds and sounds of waves. The house is well equipped. Not very new equipment but everything you need. Welcoming was very kind. The very nice village and port is at 10 minutes by car.

Wunderbares, gut ausgestattetes Haus mit relativ großzügigem Grundstück und kurzem Zugang zum Strand ( ca. 70 m), aber vom Haus aus ist das Meer wegen der vorgebauten Nachbarhäuser praktisch nicht zu sehen, obwohl die eigentlich ziemlich klein sind. Man kann nicht immer alles haben.

Die guten Zeiten dieses Hauses sind vorbei

Die Beschreibung des Hauses und der Umgebung gaukeln etwas vor, das längst nicht mehr so ist. Der Standort ist auf der Karte falsch eingezeichnet, Taxis weigern sich, das enge Strässchen zum Haus zu befahren, zu Fuss ist der Ort 40 Minuten von Koroni und dem nächsten Lebensmittelladen entfernt. Ungeeignet für Reisende ohne Auto. Meersicht ist praktisch zugebaut, es sind weder ein Sonnenschirm noch Liegestühle vorhanden, der ist Garten verwildert, die Küchen- und Badausstattung zum Teil ungepflegt / schmuddelig. Wir können dieses Objekt nicht weiterempfehlen.

Die besten Zeiten sind vorbei

Wir kannten das Haus und hatten uns darauf gefreut. Leider haben wir es in keinem guten Zustand vorgefunden. Es gab sehr viele Mängel, die uns während des Aufenthaltes einen ausführlichen E-Mail Schriftverkehr mit der Besitzerin kosteten, aber zu keinerlei Verbesserung führte. Die Ausstattung der Küche war mangelhaft (keine Weingläser, kaum Besteck u.a.). Eine Tür zum Balkon ließ sich nicht verschließen, eine zweite Schiebetür klemmte und ließ sich nicht mehr öffnen. Das Bad ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, die Toilette lief aus (wir müssten täglich putzen) und leider waren Kakerlaken im Bad.(die mir beim Abtrocknern der Hände über die Finger liefen) Der Garten war ungepflegt, verwildert, es gab keinerlei Aussenbeleuchtung (auch kaputt) - der Weg zum Haus bei Dunkelheit ein Abenteuer. Zerbrochene, verostete Liegen und Sonnenschirme lagen als Müll herum, funktionierende gab es nicht. Die Besitzerin, die in Übersee lebt, hatte uns eine Rückerstattung versprochen, aber nicht eingehalten. Wir hätten gerne einen unbeschwerten Urlaub gehabt; so waren wir mit den Mängeln und dem unhygienischen Zustand des Bad beschäftigt, was unseren Aufenthalt sehr getrübt hat. Schade. Wir wünschen dem Haus, trotz unkulantem Verhalten der Besitzerin, eine gute Zukunft, denn es könnte ein toller Ort für einen schönen Urlaub sein.

Posizione a due passi dalla spiaggia Casa pulita, ampia, luminosa e ben attrezzata. Accoglienza ottima anche se era già sera tardi. Piccolo disguido per 1 giorno, dove è mancata l'acqua per diverse ore. I proprietari avrebbero dovuto avvisarci e preoccuparsi dei nostri bisogni.

Excellent beach location

The property is a beach cottage/chalet with everything you need, in an amazing location a few meters from the sandy beach. Excellent for swimming, and very quiet at the end of April. Unfortunately, it has not got much of a sea view as there is another small building between it and the sea. There is limited hot water if the sun doesn’t shine as it is solar only without electric back up. But overall a minor problem in this good value accommodation. You need a small rented car to get around . Not too big as track down is very narrow. It is a fair walk to Koroni as you need to go up and over the hill. Keeps you fit!

Schönes, super ausgestattetes Haus am tollsten Strand!

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche im Ferienhaus von Jina und Nick. Das Haus ist super ausgestattet und bietet eine Menge Platz. Wir waren nur zu zweit aber man kann super mit bis zu 6 Personen unterkommen. Die Küche war super ausgestattet, es gab wirklich alles, was man brauchte. Frühstücken, Abendessen oder einfach nur relaxen kann auf einer der drei Terrassen/Balkone. Die große Terrasse befindet sich direkt vor dem Haus, eine großzügige überdachte Loggia bietet zudem ein Outdoor-Sofa. Bis zum Meer sind es nur wenige Schritte. Der Strand ist toll und das Wasser super klar. Nach Koroni läuft man am Strand entlang etwa 20 Minuten. Das Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen, Thank you Jina and Nick!

Oase am Strand

Das Cottage ist der perfekte Ort für einen wirklich privaten Strandurlaub! Morgens zum Sonnenaufgang ans Meer - es sind nur 100 m! Mittags ein schattiges Plätzchen auf einer der beiden hübschen Terrassen am Haus und abends zurückan den Strand um ein Picknick abzuhalten oder den Schildkröten beim schlüpfen zuzusehen. Das hübsche Häuschen liegt versteckt zwischen Feigenbäumen in einem sehr ruhigen Abschnitt des ZAGA-Beaches, ganz nah an der Surfschule. Es ist geschmackvoll und gut ausgestattet, um sich zu hause zu fühlen und Jina und Nick sind wunderbar unkomplizierte Gastgeber. Wir sagen vielen, vielen Dank für diese schöne Zeit und schätzen uns glücklich, das Stone Throw Cottage genossen zu haben!

Schön gelegenes, strandnahes Ferienhaus

Das Haus ist einfach, aber mit allem Notwendigen eingerichtet. (Nur der in der Ausstattung angegebene Fön hat gefehlt. Das angekündigte Fahrrad auch, aber das hätten wir auch wegen der steilen Anfahrt nicht genutzt.) Die beiden Kinder haben es genoßen, so nah am Strand zu wohnen und den ganzen Tag im Sand und Wasser zu spielen. Nachteil: Die Matratzen waren sehr unbequem und sollten erneuert werden. Die Wohnung war bei Bezug nur sehr grob gesäubert.

Dear guests, thank you for your candid review. We are pleased to hear that your family enjoyed the proximity to the beach and we hope that the inconveniences that you mentioned were not enough to stop you from enjoying your holiday. The cottage is equipped with a hair dryer but if it went missing and we failed to notice, you could have let us know so that we could have replaced it. For now, we do not offer bikes to our guests, but as per the listing description bikes are available for hire at the surf school next door. We are sorry to hear that you found the mattresses too uncomfortable, the complaint is taken on board and we shall replace them for next year. As for the cleanliness of the house I have contacted you directly and we would appreciate your further input as all previous guests were happy on that front so we need to know if something went amiss! Stone's Throw Cottage is not a 5 star hotel but we are always striving to offer the best possible experience for our guests for their money. We will keep upgrading the property and will continue to be available for our guests for any help and assurance they may require during their stay with us.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Lymperi

Host profile image
This is a photo of Maria and David, owner's of Stone's Throw Cottage and Studio. They live in Australia with their delightful daughters, Maria is Greek and has a strong association with these properties as you will read below.....

Why they chose this property

These are houses that my Father built, literally!
Leonidas Lymberis farmer, self taught builder and accidental tourist host extrordinaire! Alongside my Mum Fotini, his beloved wife of 60 years and partner in crime.
I know you will find it hard to imagine but this land not so long ago was farmland. Grandfather got this land as he didn't have the money to buy better, further away from the beach. Poor quality soil, salty air, all made for poor quality crops. Talk about how things change!!
First house to be built was a tiny house at the top of the hill to provide shelter from rain and hot sun during Summer.
Next was a kitchenette and toilet.
Hey, why don't we move here for Summer instead of commuting daily from a village a few kilometers away? Our rudimentary Beach House was born! Early June we moved to Zaga Beach for the season. In the mid 70's the first ever foreigners arrived for me to meet.
A German couple turned up and asked to camp on our property. Of course! The extended family immediately adopted them, "No we do insist that you eat with us!"
Next thing an Italian family appeared down the goat track, probably lost, and an unexpected request in broken English was brought onto the table as well as greek coffee and grapes, "would you be interested in renting this house to us next Summer? Done deal! Act now, think later!
Where would we stay next Summer? My Father had a whole Winter to think it through!
Maybe it's time to build a new house!
This house has been a constant companion for all my life, childhood bliss, teenage years angst, summer flings, sould searching and hours of quiet contemplation has been played out with these houses as the background scenery.
Take a deep breath in, feel the hot sand on your feet, dive into the cool water. Go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves and let this place weave its magic on you.
Welcome to my slice of paradise!

What makes this property unique

The biggest benefit has to be its location, just a few metres from the beautiful Zaga beach and the nearby restaurants and windsurfing school.
Also the surrounding gardens, what a place to sit for outdoor dining!
The cottage itself is light and airy and benefits from the sea breezes, very welcome in the hot Summer months
