Such a special place; quirky, comfortable, well stocked, great location, peaceful, surrounded by nature, just simply wonderful. Fida and Chris were the loveliest of hosts, providing a delicious welcome pack and lots of info about the area.
It is a very special and very beautiful place. The house and the Host are like a gift/present. The house has all you need and you can reach beatiful beaches, tavernas and more from there. I woul definitly come back.
Very well equipped with very helpful owners. Fida and Chris live next door and never interfere but are super helpful and kind. The Goatshed is fun and quirky and we really loved it.
Fantastic beautiful bespoke accomodation with everything you need exceptionally well equipt with great hosts in a lovely location near the amazing sea and not far away from Koroni town
We had a wonderful week in the Goatshed. Fida and Chris are warm and generous hosts, and the accommodation is charming and full of character. Comfy bed, great shower, excellent cooking facilities. The terrace is a fabulous spot to linger at any time of the day. Koroni and the wider Messinia area are simply magical. Highly recommended.
The goatshed is a lovely, quirky and unique place with a rustic feel that makes it authentic. We loved staying here and our hosts Fida and Chris were the best, from greeting us warmly, showing us around to responding quickly to any questions we had. They made themselves available when needed but respected our privacy
The area is next to a lovely coast with lots of little beaches to visit. We had a wonderful time, thanks so much Fida and Chris
We really enjoyed our stay with Fida and Chris. The small, lovely holiday home is comfortable and individually furnished and offers everything you need for your daily needs. The surroundings are simply magical. Koroni is a beautiful village, where you can enjoy the sunset in one of the restaurants at the harbor. There are several beautiful sandy beaches in the area. Fida and Chris show you all of this and are always on hand to help and advise. Being a guest here feels like a second home. Thank you for this unforgettable vacation.
The Goatshed is the most charming, delightful property we have ever stayed in over many years of visiting Greece. The property itself is exceptional, providing absolutely everything we could possibly need for our stay. The building itself is fascinating, and the interior furnished with an artistâs eye. Fida and Chris are simply wonderful hosts, so warm and generous with their time, advice, and the best welcome hamper imaginable. We feel very lucky to have had a week at the peaceful Goatshed, and would stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you very much Fida and Chris.
What can I say......wonderful hosts, wonderful house and wonderful Koroni.
Me and my partner loved our stay from start to finish. Fida and Chris are amazing hosts.
The house is just beautiful, comfy bed and lovely shower. we also enjoyed using the outdoor shower.
We had everything we needed and more! The welcome pack was above an beyond anything we have ever experienced.
Thank you Fida and Chris.....we will hopefully meet again x
We had a fabulous week at The Goatshed in early April. It is a gorgeous, quirky and cosy space to stay. Fida and Chris were the most thoughtful of hosts, so friendly and full of suggestions for great places to visit and always ready to help with anything. The house is excellently well equipped - everything we thought of, even things we thought we were unlikely to find, was somewhere in the house. We were very comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Cannot recommend highly enough!
The Goatshed was exactly as described. Unique rustic accommodation with everything you could need provided. The welcome pack exceeded anything we have had before with lots of local provisions. The hosts were second to none, so welcoming and helpful, gave us a guided tour of the area with tips of the best places to visit. Be prepared for the sounds of the Greek countryside, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, owls, birds and bees. Sunscreen and mosquito spray required. Koroni is a lively place to eat with plenty of of restaurants serving Greek specialities on the harbour side. Lovely beaches nearby with bars if that's your thing.
We beat the crowds after having booked the Goatshed just before The Guardian published a raving review, and we had a wonderful spring break staying for 10 days looked after professionally by Fida and Chris, our amazing hosts.
The Goatshed is the most lovely, well equipped and tastefully refurbished cottage with everything you need!
We most adored the outdoor seating area with seaviews of Mani, across a meadow in fill bloom, and the neighbours goats. The walk to Koroni is so amazing, and the little town itself a haven of peace, which allows to lean back and watch the world go by.
Until next year!....
The Goatshed is a beautiful, tranquil antidote to modern life. Fida and Chris are magnificent hosts; from the moment of arrival to saying our goodbyes, they were warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. On our first day, they took us on a trip of the local area, pointing out the best beaches, restaurants and bars, and places to buy groceries.
The accommodation is really well equipped - it had everything we could need and more besides.
Sitting on the veranda, listening to the sounds of nature is a memory that will stay with us for a long time.
We are looking forward to returning as soon as we are able to.
Fida and Chris were incredibly welcoming. They took us on a tour of the local area and pointed out all the best beaches and swim spots. The property is very well equipped and came with everything you would need for a holiday.
The local beach is a short walk away. We were there in high summer and even then it didnât feel crowded. A short drive away and you have a cove all to yourself. Simply stunning. Koroni itself is very pretty and virbrant with lots to see and do.
This place is great and Fida and Chris have done amazing things to convert the goat shed into a lovely, comfortable getaway.
We enjoyed a brilliant time in the goat shed! Its such a peaceful place in a beautiful setting - with a garden full of delicious herbs, fruit and veg! Fida and Chris were excellent hosts - always so helpful and ensuring we felt really comfortable and at home. The house is in an excellent location - within walking distance from the bars, shops and restaurants of koroni and only ten minutes from the nearest beach. We loved having the bikes and being able to explore along the coast and find beautiful bays and beaches to swim and snorkel. Overall, we had a perfect sunny holiday and would definitely love to return again soon! Thank you Fida and Chris!
The property is so beautifully designed and kitted out, with lots of salvaged pieces, furniture made by owner Chris, beautiful textiles and lovely china in the kitchen. It overlooks a meadow with lots of wildflowers and feels incredibly secluded and private. Fida and Chris were lovely hosts who drove us around the area on the first day, pointing out good places to eat, walk or swim. It's really easy to walk into Koroni where there are lots of restaurants and the big, long Zaga Beach is about ten minutes walk away. We had a really wonderful time relaxing here, watching the swallows and listening to the bees buzz by day and the bats flitting around in the evening. It's a real gem of a place to stay, in a beautifully rural corner of Greece.
Fida and Chris amazing hosts, personable, helpful and caring. I canât 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 canât say how much that meant for a weary traveller. 10 out of 10 for this cottage and the fabulous hosts.
Wonderful quirky property created and cared for by the utterly magnificent Fida and Chris.
The Goat Shed is about a 15 minute walk down hill to a lovely local beach, walk back uphill takes a tad longer; similarly the walk into Koroni town along the "ridge" takes about 20 minutes with splendid views either side of the ridge.
For other beaches or exploring further afield then do hire a small car.
Property is best suited for a couple but can accommodate a third, ideally a child; ours being a 13 year old.
Great facilities in the property, all you need really. And you will feel deliciously welcomed on arrival.
Chris and Fida made us feel like one of their family. A very special couple and a very special Goat Shed. Enjoy!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Goatshed. Fida and Chris have clearly thought about the finer details. The property is very equipped and well stocked with every day necessities. A very generous welcome pack was also provided. We decided against a hire car and managed perfectly well walking to local beaches and to Keroni which are within a 1km or so from the property- the uphill climbs helped with our overall fitness. Our hosts took us to a larger supermarket on the 2nd day and also gave us a tour of the area, pointing out mini markets, fresh poduce stalls and tavernas/snack bars within walking distance. Weather was beautiful - not too hot and comfortable for sleeping. We wish Fida and Chris every success for the future and look forward to visiting again one day.
It was such a pleasure to be welcomed so warmly and with such practical treats waiting us indoors. And to be show round the beaches, shops and tavernas by locals was such a useful and kind way to start a really relaxing holiday. And so good to have the occasional update or suggestion of places to go.
It had been such a shame to cancel our 2020 trip to Koroni but the Goatshed was worth the wait. You have taken such care to provide every last little thing and still managed to keep things simple. I never thought I would put on a white towelling robe after an outdoor shower in Greece!
We wish you a lovely long rest of the summer and will think longingly of the birds and bees and flowers. And of the sea and mountains. And of your kindness : real filoxenia.
Dear Fida,
Dear Chris,
the stay with you was wonderful. We were greeted with a super delicious welcome package (do you still like to send us the recipe of the sensational focaccia Chris?). The fridge was stocked with all the essentials and much more. Kitchen fully equipped and the rest of course.
You are absolutely right if you are looking for a place with heart. All is individual and one sees your love for details and beautiful and creative solutions.
We arrived and immediately felt at home. And that you then also gave us the best insider tips was of course sensational. :).
The sea is clear and wonderfully blue. Beaches can be found from busy to managed to completely deserted bays full of beautiful stones.
The Goat Sheet is a place to breathe and arrive at yourself. The crickets, the fields, the sky.
Thank you for your great hospitality. Anytime again!
All love
Karo, Lia and Michi
We fell in love with the area, the hosts were perfect and the place was adorable, unique and artsy. Itâs the kind of place you could see yourself going back to year after year. Itâs a very special place, I highly recommend it!
Der Aufenthalt im Goat shed war super!
Die Unterkunft bot alles, was man braucht!
Es gab sogar Kaffee und persönlich von der Gastgeberin gebackenes Olivenbrot bei der Anreise.
Der Strand vor Ort ist fusslÀufig erreichbar und war wunderschön.
Nur mit den HaustĂŒren hatte ich bei 1.89 Metern meine Problme und habe meinen Kopf stĂ€ndig gestossen
Sehr nette Gastgeber.
KĂŒhlschrank war bei Ankunft mit allerlei Leckereien gefĂŒllt ( ohne Zusatzkosten) fanden wir super.
Insgesamt war die Unterkunft in Ordnung.
Bett etwas klein.
KĂŒche gut ausgestattet.
Toilettenpapier darf nicht in die Toilette (in ganz Griechenland verboten) muĂ in AbfalltĂŒte entsorgt werden. FĂŒr uns war das gewöhnungsbedĂŒrftig.
Unterkunft liegt in einer sehr engen StraĂe.
Parken ca. 200 Meter entfernt.
Leider werden auf dem NachbargrundstĂŒck Ziegen und ein Hund unter schlechten Bedingungen gehalten. Hund 24 Stunden an Kette festgebunden. Ziegen an viel zu kurzen Leinen (ca . 50 cm ) angebunden. Kein schöner Anblick.
Können die Gastgeber natĂŒrlich nichts dafĂŒr.
Zum schönen Strand ca. 1 Kilometer.
We were looking to return to Greece after 5 years renovating an old Farm House in France. We wanted to be on the Mainland rather than Islands like Hydra and Kefalonia where we lived for 14 years before. This property had a huge renovation potential and is close to a fantastic sandy beach and plenty of great Tavernas. and Walks.
