Secluded house in rural location yet only minutes (by car) from supermarkets and restaurants. House is big enough for couple or small family. Pool is adequate if a little chilly. We enjoyed our week there.
All of us had a really wonderful stay at your villa in a relaxing and quiet environment. The welcome and care provided by karen and her husband was really great and very kind. Thank you very much - we would love to come back!

Fantastic property with plenty of outdoor space, exceptionally warm during our stay so air con in bedrooms added bonus. Fantastic sunset views which were truly amazing…photos don’t do this property justice. Situated on the edge of a village with supermarket, just a little too far to walk to but still very handy for bakery etc., Only recommendation I would make is to replace stands for parasols and ladder into pool as both little unsteady. The service on check in & out was very easy and straightforward and we were made feel very welcome, any issues we had during our stay were dealt with promptly and efficiently. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property.
Everything you needed from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom, nothing was missing to make our stay comfortable. The outside area was perfect with seating areas placed ideally from sunny to shady. Karen who greeted us was lovely and welcoming but was clearly only there if we needed her, which was perfect. The pool was a welcome cool down in between lazy sunbathing. The area was perfect for exploring and was advertised rightly as private, just what we were hoping for and got. I would recommend this lovely villa to couples wanting privacy and families wanting unity. Amazing sunsets every night. Loved every minute of it. Thank you hosts for sharing this amazing little peace of paradise! X
The villa is idyllically situated in a small village with phantasitic views of the countryside and the sea. From the spacious and wonderfully shaded terrace you can enjoy the view of the sunset every evening. The equipment is complete, the villa spacious, the beds comfortable. Both the owners and the nice couple who take care of everything on site are uncomplicated and friendly .
What a beautiful house. Gorgeous shaded veranda with comfy seating area and big dining table. The house has everything you need. There is a small shop just round the corner and a bigger one just down the road. The elevated position gives great views of the sea and the sunsets are truly spectacular. The pool, whilst small, is perfect for a cool down at any time of day. Highly recommended!!
Perfect for a relaxing stay in a rural Greek location
For anyone looking for a stay in an authentic Greek rural village away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist coastal resorts, Villa Mouria is for you. The interior of the villa is simple but provides everything needed for a comfortable stay. But what makes this villa really special is the outside space. There are both shaded and open seating areas, a great bbq facility, of course the pool for cooling down but all have absolutely fabulous views down to the coast, over to the islands of Kalymnos and Pserimos especially at sunset. Quite frankly, we could have shut ourselves away at the villa and relaxed for the whole week!
And to cap it all, Karen provided the perfect welcome and struck the perfect balance of being easily contactable whilst allowing us to have total privacy and peace.
Wonderful, relaxing holiday in an attractive, house with a very good amosphere
We enjoyed this attractive, beautifully furnished house very much. There are several places where you can sit at different times of the day. We started the day with breakfast overlooking the olive grove, where chickens are regularly scratching, which is very special.
The beds were fine and sleeping with air conditioning is nice aswell. It was also enjoyable en relaxing at the pool with the sunbeds. Furthermore, from the hill you have a beautiful view at the sea and surrounding mountains.
The house is located in the middle of a village, with a lot of atmosphere and privacy. We liked to walk downhill to the small centre village for an errand and get us a coffee at a terras. The house has an excellent base to visit, Kos city, cultural places, and several nice beaches. We rented a car and it went well. We can heartily recommend this holiday home and in real life the house was even more beautiful than in the photos.

Perfect location, traditional Greek villa with pool and spectacular views
My husband and I stayed at this lovely villa for 2 weeks in June. The outside areas are outstanding, we loved having the choice of several shaded or sunny areas to sit and chill out or to top the tan. Inside there are 2 bedrooms, the double has the air con unit in it. It is traditional in style with dark wood and tiled floors.
A car is included in this villa which is required for the location is near Pyli village which is up in the hillside about 10 mins drive from Zia (has restaurants with beautiful views and some of the best sunsets we have ever seen) 10/12 mins from Tigaki, 20 mins from Kos town and 20/25 mins from Kardamena over the mountain with fantastic views on the way.
Karen was our contact once booked and met us at the villa, she was very helpful and great to ask questions about Kos, she gave us her phone number should we need her.
We did a daytrip to Bodrum in Turkey from Kos town and also the Greek island of Nisyros from Kardamena to visit the volcano crater with steam vents and bubbling mud pools.
We highly recommend this villa it was a lovely lovely place to stay and relax.
We arrived late in the evening, but had been given clear instructions as to how to access the property, our first impression was wow, what a lovely traditional villa, and very clean.
However our impression dipped a bit when we realised that there was no way of making a drink, it it hadn't been for the two bottles of water in the fridge we wouldn't have been able to have a drink until the following morning when we went into the nearest village.
I was very surprised at this, as at every other Villa I have rented, including ones on Kos, there has always been a small welcome pack, enough to enable you to make a drink on arrival at the very least.
The kitchen had plenty of equipment and cleaning products, but no microwave which I found puzzling, my other very slight gripe is the 5 euro charge to use the washing machine, I do feel that this should be advertised in the listing.
On saying that we had a lovely relaxing holiday and I would stay there again, I would just ensure I had things with me to make a drink on arrival.
Très jolie petite maison avec très belle vue, magnifiques couchers de soleil, et petite piscine très agréable. Localisation très intéressante sur Kos, assez centrale, et permettant d’aller un peu partout assez rapidement !
Wir haben unsere Urlaubstage auf Kos in unserem sehr schönen Ferienhaus sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder. Die Granatäpfel und die Zitronen direkt vom Baum waren das I-Tüpfelchen.
Très jolie maison typique et agréable a vivre . Nous n’avons manqué de rien, l’équipement de la maison est ok et les lits sont confortables. Le coucher de soleil est un must et la piscine même petite est suffisante pour passer un bon séjour. La maison est en campagne et il ne faut pas être surpris par le chant du coq et les poules qui viennent vous rendre visite en fin de journée. Il y a un figuier derrière qui commence a donner des fruits excellent. Petit bémol les chiens aux alentours qui aboient beaucoup des qu’un coq se réveille. La circulation pour la montée de Zia n’est pas dérangeante en revanche. La maison est à côté de Pili et il y a une très bonne boucherie à côté du carrefour contact qui permet de faire des barbecues sympa. On a passé un agréable séjour.
Das Haus hat uns super gefallen. Die Terrasse mit Blick auf das Meer, abendlichen spektakulären Sonnenuntergängen und der tolle Pool waren traumhaft. Man ist völlig für sich und kann sich voll entspannen. Es gibt jede Menge Platz im Schatten, eine tolle Grillecke mit chilligen Möbeln, 4 weitere Liegen am Pool mit Sonnenschirmen und einen tollen Blick über die Olivenbäume. Der Innenbereich ist traditionell eingerichtet. Ein Schlafzimmer hat ein Doppelbett, das andere zwei Einzelbetten, alle sind sehr bequem und mit Moskitonetzen und Klimaanlage ausgestattet. Bad und die offene Küche sind optimal genutzt und gut ausgestattet. Es gibt kleinen Wohnbereich mit einen Fernseher, den haben wir nicht benutzt, da alles andere viel (ent)spannender war. Insgesamt ein super toller Urlaub für uns und unsere Kinder (3 und 5 Jahre). Wir kommen sicher wieder! Vielen lieben Dank an Karen und Rory, die sich während der Zeit sehr lieb um uns, Haus und Pool gekümmert haben.
Jolie villa, avec vue magnifique sur la campagne et la mer (admirables couchers de soleil !). Beaucoup de charme dans cette maison ancienne, bien équipée (l'ajout d'un micro-onde serait néanmoins un plus). Ambiance "campagne", proche de tous les points d'intérêt de l'île. Plus calme et authentique que la ville de Kos. Une voiture est nécessaire. Très belle terrasse et agréable piscine.
Accueil efficace et sympathique. Un séjour tout à fait recommandable.
Dieses Haus ist ein Paradies. Perfekt gelegen, mit dem Mietauto ist man schnell am Strand oder wo auch immer.
Die Aussicht unvergesslich. Der Pool wunderbar.
Die Ausstattung des Hauses passt. Einzig ein Geschirrspüler würde gut tun. Denn nicht jeder hat die gleichen Ansprüche an sauberes Geschirr. Mit einem Geschirrspüler wäre ein hygienischer Standart gegeben.
Alles in allem perfekter Ferien. Danke Nick.
Wir haben uns mit unseren zwei fast erwachsenen Kindern in der Villa Moura sehr wohl gefühlt, schattige Terrassen, am Abend luftig, liebevoll möbliert. Die Betten herrlich, angenehme air condition in den Schlafräumen und aufmerksame Betreuung vor Ort. Wir kommen wieder !
It was our first holiday on Kos and we enjoyed it. The house was perfect and everything as described. Alot of place to sit outside with a magic view of the sunset. The aircondition in the bedroom was pleasent. Because of the location of the house there always was a nice breeze.
Thanks alot to Karen for the nice welcome and the helpfull informations.

the only thing we missed was an outdoor shower
Villa Mouria is a fabulous property with plenty of shade and tremendous views. The breeze and air conditioning were welcome and the pool a great bonus. We eat at Georgis Seafood restaurant in Old Pyli (with generous Ouzo measures!). The Oria cafe up the mountain (walked from door) and Grannys Home on way to Zia. All delicious traditional food with heavenly views. You could just chill around the local area but recommend a car to go further afield. We loved the waves at Mastihari. Mamari and the beach north of Kardemena were idyllic in early evening. Quiet - we like! 😊 We also went to a wedding on Kastri island of Kefalous. Mama Mia style. Recommend Sydneys Bar.

About the host
Hosted by Nick lake
We have been visiting Kos since 1984. After a year working here in 1989 we vowed to retire on the island. It took us 5 years of searching to find the right property in the right location. When Villa Mouria came up we knew from the first visit that is was our future home. We recently retired and stay at the house as much as we can , the addition of the pool and terrace has transformed it into a true villa. We never tire of the sunsets, it's ideally located for the beach, the mountain and Kos town if that's your wish.
