About this property

Old Olive House | Infinity Pool | Sea Views | Peloponnese | Near Olympia

Old Olive House — a beautifully restored stone villa with infinity pool, set in our family olive grove, minutes from miles of unspoiled Peloponnese beaches.


At a glance
Sleeps 10 in 5 large bedrooms, each with a private terrace - 3 bedrooms in the main house, 2 further bedrooms in the annex below the pool.
Master bedroom with four-poster bed, freestanding bath and en-suite shower
Infinity pool with sea views
45 minutes from Kalamata International Airport
Ellie, our house manager, lives 10 minutes away and personally welcomes every guest

The house
A traditional stone house, renovated top to bottom. Designer interiors balanced with the original character of the building. Completely secluded — this is the real Greece, not a resort.

The beaches
Five minutes down the hill in either direction. 60km of undeveloped, sandy beach in one continuous stretch. A different beach for every day of your stay.

Eat like a Greek, not a tourist
The local market town is five minutes away — fresh fish, fruit, vegetables, and what we think is the best bread in Greece. Help yourself to olive oil pressed from our own grove, free for guests. Family-run tavernas nearby serve genuine Greek food at genuine local prices, and there are long-established vineyards just down the road.


Things to see, within easy reach
Ancient Olympia
Ancient Messene
Temple of Apollo at Bassae
Methoni Castle
Historic Bay of Navarino

Great day trips to Nafplion (Greece's first capital) and Epidavros. For walkers, the Neda Waterfall Gorge and Arini Gorge are both a short drive.

If you want unspoiled beaches, ancient history and beautiful nature in a stunning house, Old Olive House is for you.

The property is absolutely comfortable and well equipped. The views are ‘to die for’. It’s a very short drive into the village of Zacharo where there are a couple very good grocery stores and a number of good restaurants and bakeries. There are also some amazing restaurants within about 15-29 minutes.

A really amazing place to stay with spectacular views- very high quality

Everything was lovely - the furnishings and rooms, the pool and bathing area, all the terraces. The position of the house is really amazing and everything felt luxurious and quality but still authentic and Greek. The house is looked after very well by Charles and Ellie who also gave us some great ideas for places to go. Really recommend it - had a lovely stay here.

Beautiful house in a secluded spot

Beautiful house, well equipped and with an exceptional view. The house managers, Charles & Ellie we’re on hand to sort out the various issues we had with electrics and plumbing. The pool was perfect and nearby there are some great beaches and of course ancient sites. A wonderful place for a Grecian getaway.

What an amazing place

We booked this place without really knowing anything about the region or the location and we were blown away by the beauty of the property and its surrounds! One of the most amazing views I’ve seen. We were close enough for a day trip to Olympia and for another day at the beach. Kids loved the pool even early in the season. We absolutely loved this property!

Incredible vistas

The property provides a remarkable view over the town, olive groves, hills and ocean. The house is beautiful, and makes the most of its surroundings, with wonderful outdoor dining areas, balconies, places to read and relax. The kitchen is well appointed, the beds comfortable, and the layout lends itself to reading, games, yoga, and conversations. The manager was an attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant host.

Wonderful house with a fabulous view over the Kyparissia Bay. We spend a week end of October weather was still perfect to enjoy the pool. The house is equipped with everything you need.

Dream farmhouse

This is a beautiful house and property. The location is somewhat remote which means driving to town and beach, but it's blissfully private and serene. The views are magnificent. The home is tastefully and comfortably furnished and decorated. The kitchen is very well supplied with high quality utensils which made cooking a pleasure. The hardest part was leaving this terrific vacation home.

This property is very special!

We really enjoyed our 10 days at The Old Olive House. The house is spacious, clean, well laid out and nicely situated. Even though it was February, we had great sun and comfortable temperatures. This is a real chance to experience life in Greece and get away from Athens. Charles and Ellie provided great support both before our arrival and afterwards. There is lots to do in the area especially if you enjoy the outdoors. We highly recommend this property.

Great house with stunning views

We had a very enjoyable holiday. It is very peaceful and there was little building work taking place when we stayed. We would have liked more hot water for showers morning and evening for 6 adults. Zacharo beach is very beautiful but with rough sea, it was not safe to swim in. Ellie is very responsive to requests for help and the wine/milk/bread in the fridge for us on arrival was very welcoming. Thank you.

Thanks so much for your review and so glad you had a lovely holiday. Given your feedback about the hot water we are going to make sure the house book is super clear - outside main summer the solar panels don’t generate enough hot water on their own so there is one switch which needs to go on to provide unlimited hot water on demand from the boiler - we will make sure that is very clear for the future! Thanks so much again for your feedback, all the best Charles

Blissful Stay in Zaharo

The most glorious house with everything you could possibly need for a really relaxing and comfortable stay. The view is simply breathtaking, the master bedroom is wonderfully comfortable. The clever insect screens meant that meals were mozzi and bug free. The gorgeous pool was perfect for cooling off or doing ‘laps’. Ellie the manager was wonderful and the house and surroundings were impeccable. It’s been the most heavenly restorative time. I would, without hesitation, come back again and lucky, lucky anyone who comes to stay. Zaharo has everything you need for food shopping. The beaches are fabulous and you are in the heart of Ancient Greece with lots to see if you can be tempted away from the pool and peace. Hugest thanks. Peter and Charlotte xx

Gorgeous house

The house and especially the pool is fabulous in a beautiful setting with wow views. It worked great with our gang of teenagers and had all the facilities and kitchen equipment you might need. Really nicely done. Ellie could not have been more helpful and warm and responsive. My gripe is with the misleading online presentation that it sleeps 10 with 5 bedrooms which is what we were after. When we arrived we were told we would only get the main house and the annex was extra. This is because we originally thought only 2 of the teens were joining us but actually 2 additional kids decided to meet us mid interrailing. This caused a complication when checking in and being charged an extra amount.

Hi Kalyco thank you for booking with us and we are so pleased you enjoyed the house. VRBO bookings are paid by guest numbers (as costs increase) hence had you updated your booking with your increased number of guests the price would simply have changed to reflect the correct number . We really appreciate your feedback and have since worked with VRBO to make sure the number of guests is more clearly called out and made the pool house only available by separate arrangement. Thanks again for your feedback.

A Magical Stay at The Old Olive House

We had a truly memorable stay at The Old Olive House. The charm and hospitality were evident from the moment we arrived. The house has a beautiful old-world character that added a special touch to our vacation—something we rarely experience back in the States.The house fit our family of six perfectly, with plenty of space to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. The pool was absolutely lovely—the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip—and the view from the property was simply incredible, especially at sunset.The grounds were well cared for and bursting with beautiful flowers, adding even more to the home’s charm. One highlight of our trip was a dinner at Antipeina, a fantastic little spot tucked in the hills. The food was out of this world, the staff and owners were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the setting was picture-perfect—adorable and romantic, with a breathtaking view as the sun went down.We’re so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend The Old Olive House to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway full of character and local flavor.Thank you, Ellie.

Old Olive House

The managers were friendly and helpful , always responded promptly- thank you. The pool was divine and the view from house patios is unbeatable. Not quite the luxurious escape we had in mind as far as the house goes. Missing a few touches to bring it to luxury scale - such as no shampoo, very little soap and no beach towels. Two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom - downstairs bathroom was very tiny - shower water ran into the space. Decor a little tired. Also we believed we had the use of the guest house however apparently it must be booked as an extra- not an issue but would have been nice for one of the couples privacy. The place is a fair way out of town but we got used to navigating the narrow roads and the locals waved out once they knew we were harmless. Close to Olympia and Ressene sites. Lots of nice coffee shops and bakeries in town. We loved the visits from goats, hare hound dogs, and cats. Construction noise from below was everyday starting at 7..30 am until evenings. Got used to it . Overall a really lovely spot but not quite as luxurious as described. .

Dear Margaret Thank you so much for your feedback. Our house is very much a house not a hotel and we furnish it and style it in a way we hope is more personal and unique. There are plenty of beach towels so we will make sure that other guests know where to find them - so sorry that wasn’t obvious. Thank you again for your feedback which helps us always improve. All the best Charles and Georgie (owners)

Early summer break

Overall we had a great holiday our hosts ellie and Charlie were really helpful And welcoming. however we were there for a week and the first three days a builder directly below our property working on new holiday houses started breaking up large rocks with a jcb and hammer drill so what we had hoped would be a peaceful week certainly didn’t turn out that way. The noise was horrendous and constant from 8am-5pm - Ellie and Charlie had not been aware of this work and did speak to the builder who ceased using the heavy machinery from mid week which was a welcome relief but so upsetting given we were only there for a week and picked the property for its total tranquility . The area is very rural and unspoilt and the property is lovely and had everything we had hoped for and was well equipped. You have far distant sea views and overlook olive groves but you certainly cannot walk to the beach a car is therefore absolutely essential. We had two earthquake tremors during our stay .. very minor and we were told common in this area but a little alarming when we had never experienced anything like it before. The local town a short drive away has supermarkets and a selection of shops so you can get everything you need for a self catering holiday. The property is in a stunning location but certainly wouldn’t be a place to take young children as there are steep steps down to the pool area and once down by the pool it isn’t fenced.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know your feedback. We are so sorry about the building works at the property down the hill and we have been assured these are now finished for the summer. As the pictures show the pool is fenced off with a stone wall and an iron gate at the top of the stairs to ensure safety for any younger guests - having had our own small children at the house it was always top of mind. Thank you again for staying at the Old Olive House and for your feedback.

We loved our stay here. The villa is perfect, so homely, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. In 32 degrees, the stone villa nestled in the mountain side stays amazingly cool and the front terrace always has some shade. We loved sitting outside from early evening, watching the mountains and sky change colour and being surrounded by nature.

About the host

Hosted by Charles Stewart

Host profile image
Originally brought up in Australia and now living in London, we love to escape to this amazing corner of Greece - very undiscovered yet so close to such famous sights. We love to travel, and hope we know what makes a stay truly special, which is what we try to deliver at Old Olive House.

Why they chose this property

First the beaches!! Long sandy and unspoilt - like Australia but without the 24 hour flight! Swimming with turtles. Unspoilt local tavernas with amazing food and amazing prices. And of course learning how to pick our organic olives and see them pressed into scrumptious olive oil at our local press every year. Our photo is of us both plus Ellie at the olive press - rather covered in olives after picking all day!

What makes this property unique

We try to make the house not like a rental but with all the things we love - Le Creuset pans, lovely crockery and linen, antiques. But overall it’s the incredible view of the sea and mountains from every room that makes this house unique .
