Villa that combines beach frontage with 1 of the best views in the Peleponnese.

We stayed one week late august, 2 families of 4...

The view from the house is really stunning and the overall experience was ok, but...

Because 15 people had stayed the previous week, the poor housekeeper was totally overwhelmed and basically the cleaning was not completed before the day after our arrival, which is not great... The swimming pool is actually quite small, and it stayed greenish and not very appealing the whole week. The house is really lacking maintenance : broken shutters, scary power plugs, and towels and sheets that have been in use for ages...

We have rented many houses in Greece, and honestly given the rental price we were quite disappointed by the quality level of this one...

We loved the position of the comfortable house. We never tired of the wide open views of the sea, the sky and the mountains, or of swimming in the warm, calm sea from the deserted beach below. We ate every meal outside. The area is very unspoilt, and the Methana Peninsula has a wild quality to it. As well as swimming we enjoyed visiting nearby ancient sites, walking, shopping in Galatas and Poros and eating fish in the local tavernas. The owner could not have been more helpful and the home-cooked Greek food, delivered to the door, was delicious.

This is a lovely house in a beautiful location; comfortable, friendly, well kitted out. Warmly recommended.

we were 2 couples and 3 young adults.we had a grate week ! the house was big enough , the view is unbelievable, the sea shore is very near by (4 minuets walk) ,the swimming pool is beautiful, and the location is perfect- we enjoyed Poros 15 min drive, Methana - 20, Epidavros 30 and more.

all of us stayed in the big house we did not use the lower independent unit. (which is less attractive by means of view and ambiance).

disadvantages:

very week and unstable INTERNET service

few things in the house could use some maintenance .

Christopher was very available responsive and helpfull.

The most defining feature of this lovely house is the extraordinary views over Saronic Gulf. You can watch the sunset from the terrace or bedroom balconies, (glass of wine optional) and at night even spot the lights of the Epidavros ancient theatre across the bay. House very spacious - teens were put in the downstairs section.

The trip from the airport itself was straightforward apart from the last turn to Metamorfosi which is easy to miss in the dark, and the drive itself is pretty steep and rocky, fine once you're used to it, but make sure you rent cars with reasonable clearance - we made all the passengers get out at the top of the hill.

We loved the walk down to the beach through the gardens of olive and lemon trees and are sure that the climb back up did us good! Pool fab as it is cool after the climb back up from the beach and large enough to swim in. The beach itself has crystal clear water, fairly shallow right out to a reef where we all snorkelled, beyond which there was deeper sea so perfect for children and the more adventurous swimmers. Amazingly there was hardly anyone on the beach even in mid August - apart from the odd fisherman, so it felt like our own private beach.

The beach taverna - good for local beer, ice-cream and nibbles - is a short walk just the next bay around, apart from this you have to drive to shops and restaurants. Local shop is about a 10 minute drive away - was very friendly with great feta and the basics.

Galatas and pretty Poros are a short drive away with a good supermarket and excellent butcher and lots of tavernas. We also visited Vathi for fish tavernas and the fantastic views from the volcano (definitely worth the walk), Epidavros, Napflio, Mycenae, the island of Hydra (a must do) and even ancient Corinth on way back to airport, an easy diversion.
