Find rentals with pool near Gargarou Beach

My wife and I stayed at the villa for a week in September. The villa was very clean and the owners easy to deal with. The description on VRBO is accurate. The villa is located with a few others in a quiet olive grove in the small hamlet of Kamaria. The kitchen was quite well-equipped and nicely laid out. The bathrooms and showers were both spacious and there was lots of hot water. The bed we used was quite comfortable. The pool was still reasonably warm at this time of year, despite being unheated. It is big enough to swim a bit. The only issue we had with the villa was the slow wifi. It is good enough for email, but not all our phone apps would work over it. There is a very nice large unspoiled beach with sandy bottom and gradual entry nearby. The village of Finakounta has a good supermarket with most things you need. Although it is possible to walk to the beach and the supermarket, unless you are quite fit you will find the walk back up hill to the villa hard, especially if it is hot. A car is recommended. There are many interesting historic places to visit, such as the castles in Methoni, Pylas and Koroni and Nestor's Palace in Ithoni. Further afield is the ancient city of Messene. The town of Koroni is interesting place to walk around. We would recommend the villa without reservation.

Fida and Chris amazing hosts, personable, helpful and caring. I can’t say enough, I was late by about 6 hours, they inquired about my well being repeatedly, came out to meet me because by then it was dark and guided me to the Goat Shed. The Goat Shed was everything and more. It was clean, uniquely but very tastefully decorated, some real talent and skill went into the design and decor. The nearby town of Koroni is very scenic with excellent cafes and restaurants. Fida and Chris took me on a tour of the town and showed me the best spots along with a couple hidden beaches that were gems. There was food and drink waiting when I got there, I can’t say how much that meant for a weary traveller. 10 out of 10 for this cottage and the fabulous hosts.
