Idyllic hillside retreat
Villa Eleni is a real gem. Conveniently situated just outside Petalidi but tucked away on a quiet hillside overlooking the Gulf of Messenia and Taygetos Mountains. The villa sits within a complex but is so private. Check-in was so easy - Chris kindly sent us directions and information about keys, electricity, wifi and contact details for George who looks after the villas. Lovely garden, plenty of parking, very generously sized pool. The two bedrooms upstairs are spacious with good storage. Bathrooms are small but functional. The upstairs balcony gives outstanding views across the gulf and mountains - perfect for watching the sunrise. Downstairs is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area - plenty of seating inside for us as a family of 4. The 3rd bedroom is downstairs with a small bunk bed - no room for anything else in this room and a bit of a squeeze for adults / young adults. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped, modern and clean. The whole property was extremely well-maintained and clean throughout. The pool was diligently maintained by George. We had fresh bedlinen and towels frequently. The villa is very peaceful - the hotel across the road below the villa is not that noisy. Car a must. Road to villa bumpy. Pretty villages, Kalamata, Mani peninsular, Pylos. Ancient Messini are all within easy reach. Olympia is 2hrs 30 away - Sparta under 2. Kalamata Museum worth a visit to give a sense of archaeological sites nearby. Overall, a fantastic stay! Thanks Chris.
