We had a wonderful time at the Eco Villa - Near by wonderful beaches, no mass tourism, and always very friendly people. That was not the last time that we visit this area/house. For people who need peace and quiet, this is the perfect place (except for the crying foxes at night :o)) Thanks Edwin and Inge
A beautiful villa in an amazing setting. Night and day the view was stunning.We all enjoyed the pool especially as there was a heatwave the first couple of days.We had to use fans at night and when we let property manager know one wasn't working another one was provided.Would love to go back to explore the area more, a week was not enough.
Beautiful property overlooking the ocean and the small town of Vacilitsi. We stayed for a week and never had a problem with power or water shortage. We are saving this property in our trip folder to come back! Was one of the main highlights of our Greece vacation! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!
We love travelling and have been around.. but this place is really special. We "climbed" the hill with our car (a lowered sportscar wouldn't work here, thank god we left the Porsche at home ;)) and were warmly welcomed by Ines. While entering the beautiful furnitured villa (very tasteful) the partio left us speachless. The view, the warm wind, the beautiful colors of the landscape and the ocean...the sound of nature and nothing else... you immediately calm down. Our 4 kids took off there clothes right away and occupied the pool. Our kids are no toodlers any more so the house was perfect but for smaller kids it would not work due to the stairs and the edge of the pool.
Kitchen and bathrooms as well as the living room: perfectly equipped and beautiful! 5 Stars!
Location/ Surrounding (Methoni, we fell in love head over heels), beaches (Voidokilia beach A MUST): 5 Stars!
Responsiveness of Ines/ Edwin: 5 Stars!
Why only 4 Stars at all? For me the bedrooms were to small and we only had one closet.. just one TV (did I mention that we have 4 kids... you can imagine..) and no washing machine, no aircon, just fens. I love the ECO idea but we are so spoiled that it was a bit tough for us. But this is a very personal thing.. if you are looking for a breathtaking place with no neighboors to complain and nice beaches and bars around - this is your house! I am happy that we spend our holiday there, it was one of our best. You find so many nice places around the house to sit and watch... we loved it.
Thanks Ines, thanks Edwin!
Wow! This property was everything it said it was and more! The drive up from the main road is a bit steep but it is all paved. When you walk into this home you can tell there was so much thought and love put into putting this property together. The layout of the kitchen and great room offers space and comfortable furnishings. It's when you walk out the back onto the main terrace is when the WOW!! hits you. The views of the Messinian Gulf and across to the Mani Peninsula are nothing short of spectacular. The wide staircase that leads down to the infinity pool just leaves you stunned. I can't say enough about the thought that Edwin and Inge have put into this place. Because the villa is powered strictly by wind and solar A/C is not installed. But it really didn't matter. You just open the doors and let the breeze blow through. Very comfortable. On the rare occasion when it is still, generally in the mornings, floors fans were just fine to move the air around. The outdoor spaces are to die for! Seriously, I have never been at a place with so many areas where you can just escape. So well thought out and delightful.
The local area around the property is interesting with lots to do. We were there for 8 nights. There are three lovely beach towns that stole our hearts. Koroni, Methoni, and our favorite, Finicounda. The castle ruins at Methoni are a must see. We also drove up to the ruins at Ancient Messini. Very interesting. We ate all our meals out in these little towns that boast numerous delicious seaside restaurants. We even rented a boat for the day out of Finicounda. And a couple of days we just never came off the mountain. We were fortunate to have had perfect weather for our stay and enjoyed magnificent moon rises over the Mani. It was one our favorite times of the day.
Thank you Edwin and Inge for the privilege. We just loved it!!
The Eco Villa is fantastic: Great architecture, terrific views, very friendly and helpful landlords. The kitchen is fully equipped. There was plenty of space for the eight of us, everybody can find a place to be on his / her own. A car is indispensible. Enjoy the landscape, the beaches, the culture and the food, but you will always return to the Villa with a smile on your face đ. Will return definitely, when time allows.

Traumhafter Urlaub in tollem Haus und herrlicher Umgebung
Wir haben eine sehr schöne Urlaubszeit in der Villa auf dem Berg mit einer einmaligen Aussicht auf die Berge und das Meer verbringen können. Das Haus ist wirklich besonders gestaltet, mehr als komplett und liebevoll ausgestattet und bietet viel Raum drauĂen und drinnen auf diversen Terrassen und in schönen RĂ€umen. Sandra hat uns vor Ort zuverlĂ€ssig und sehr freundlich in Empfang genommen und durch die Zeit mit Rat und Tat begleitet ebenso wie Edwin per WhatsApp oder am Telefon. Wir haben das warme Mittelmeer, die umliegenden Orte und StrĂ€nde sowie die nahe gelegene Taverne bei Nicos in Vasilitsi ebenso genossen wie die Zeiten am gut gepflegten Pool mit dem Blick ĂŒber das Tal zum Meer. Die Erwartungen nach der Beschreibung im Internet wurden erfĂŒllt bzw. ĂŒbertroffen- wir können diese Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.
Eco villa in Koroni is a must! The views are amazing and couldnât stop staring at them in the week we were there. Close to beaches and restaurants, best restaurant being Nikos in Vasilitsi, just down the hill. The villa was beautiful and has many beautiful touches. The only downfall we found was that there werenât screens on all the doors. During the day there were many yellow jackets wasps, and at night mosquitoes. It was impossible to keep them out of the house. There were many places to relax in the home, and a view from each of them. Edwin was easy to reach and cared that we were enjoying our time.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Amazing Place - Issue with Electricity shortage / No water
in general, the place is out of this world, with amazing views, great interior, clean, great furniture and concept. Maybe the best I have visited so far from VRbo in Greece.
The problems started with the power efficiency of the place... we were a group of 7 + 2 kids with plans to mainly stay - work - and enjoy the villa. This all-day stay together w usage of electronic devices led to power shortages and stop of electricity 3 of the 6 nights we stayed and 2 of the mornings. No electricity on this property means: freezer stuff melted and spoiled, no water to clean ourselves, no water for the toilets..., no fans for the night sleep, no way to charge our phone and communicate, no power to work with our laptops, no internet.
We acted extremely politely and show full understanding to the owner, by accepting this issue and tried to have fun within this situation. we couldn't do anything to change it, so we moved on.
Last day again we had a power shortage... We were 3 days like that, as a result, we couldn't use the dishwasher to clean kitchenware. Also to be completely honest we decided no to clean the house with no power since some party groups were disappointed and were thinking of a refund, and since we accepted this whole issue of the house with no complaints they didn't want to clean. So we left the garbage in the house and we left the dishes in the washer and some bottles and glasses here and there.
When the person who cleans came to deliver the keys, (that seemed to have full compassion about the issues we faced w electricity), seemed discomforted because she should clean everything with no electricity (as she said). And since we hadn't done much, it was a huge task.
After leaving she sent a message to the owner w video of the house situation, which was not clean telling him that with no power she will need more people. After that owner, issued a refund for damages of 150euro to us. NO DAMAGE was made to the house... the only thing is that we didn't spend hours of cleaning dishes and other stuff, with no electricity...
So in the end, even though we didn't ask to be refunded for a place that didn't have water and electricity for 2mornings and 3 nights (no mention of danger like that on the listing...) we got fined because there was no electricity for the cleaning lady to clean... Isn't that amazing?
Anyway now I have to fight back because I may be kind, but I am not stupid.
Ein wirklich groĂartiges Haus und eine fantastische Lage. Der Pool ist so groĂ, dass man wirklich schwimmen kann. In der nĂ€heren Umgebung ist eine Taverne und der Strand von Corona. Das Haus ist sehr stylisch und praktisch eingerichtet. Man muss bezĂŒglich des Eco-Standards einige Dinge beachten, aber dies ist in keinerlei Hinsicht eine EinschrĂ€nkung. (Zum Beispiel kann man die Waschmaschine und die GeschirrspĂŒlmaschine nicht im gleichen Zeitraum laufen lassen.) Im Umkreis von 1 h Fahrt sind die schönsten StrĂ€nde der Peloponnes zu finden. Es war ein unglaublich erholsamer Urlaub, den wir gerne hier wiederholen möchten.
Das Haus war ein Traum! Es war alles perfekt. Ines und Edwin sind super nett. Alles wurde zu unseren WĂŒnschen erfĂŒllt. Der Ausblick ist wunderschön. Die Betten sind sehr gemĂŒtlich. Die Villa liegt etwas abgelegen, genau das was wir wollten!
Danke fĂŒr die wunderschöne Zeit
Wir fĂŒhlten uns herzlich Willkommen (thanks Edwin for your hospiality)und durften das ganze Haus / equipment nutzen. Es gibt Alles fĂŒr einen komfortablen Aufenthalt. Fantastisch ist der Pool im Haus. Auch das Ăkokonzept (Stromerzeugung via Windkraft) ĂŒberzeugt! Wir kommen gern wieder.
Villa is worth every penny spent. Stunning villa excellent views amazing quality utilities. Edwin was very attentive if we had any questions. Overall the villa is worth every penny of the cost. We will be back
Superb end to end experience, very well equipped, stunning villa with views to match. Unrivalled outside space with various different areas to sit, eat, relax and unwind.
Ein wunderschönes Haus zwischen Koroni und Finikunda einsam auf einem BergrĂŒcken gelegen mit fantastischen Blick auf das Meer.
Vier Schlafzimmer, zwei BĂ€der,eine grandiose ĂŒberdachte Terasse und nicht zuletzt ein groĂer Pool lassen keine WĂŒnsche ĂŒbrig.
Bestens ausgestattet mit allem was man nur brauchen kann.
Das ganz besondere ist jedoch,dass dieses Haus autark "funktioniert", das Haus erzeugt seinen Szrom zu 100% selbst und das Wasser kommt aus den Bergen...und das funkioniert absolut reibungslos...toll!!
Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefĂŒhlt. Der Empfang durch Ines war sehr herzlich und unkompliziert. Auch konnten wir sie bei Fragen jederzeit kontaktieren. Das Haus steht wie ein SolitĂ€r oberhalb von Olivenhainen und bietet einen fantastischen Rundumblick. Zahlreiche SitzplĂ€tze, fĂŒr jeden Sonnenstand einen. Die Sauberkeit ist phĂ€nomenal und der bewusste Umgang mit der auf dem GrundstĂŒck gewonnen Energie schrĂ€nkt nicht ein.
Wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder! Danke!
Das Haus ist sehr schön + allein gelegen mit wunderbarem Blick auf das Meer. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und gut eingerichtet. Aufgrund der Eigenversorgung mit Strom ĂŒber eine PV-Anlage funktionieren SpĂŒl- und Waschmaschine jeweils nur im Kurzprogramm (15 Min.) + tageszeitlich begrenzt; darauf kann man sich gut einrichten. Es gibt eine freundliche Hausbetreuung, die bei Fragen erreichbar ist. Wir können das Haus sehr gut empfehlen.
Vor Jahren sahen wir bei einem Aufenthalt auf dem Peloponnes die EKO-Villa und freuten uns diese spĂ€ter in der Vermietung zu finden. Wir waren uns sofort einig diese fĂŒr einen Familienurlaub zu buchen.
Der Kontakt mit Edwin war super nett wie auch mit Ines vor Ort, die uns sehr freundlich empfangen hat um uns in die Geheimnisse der EKO-Villa einzuweihen. Der Umgang mit diesen Geheimnissen stellte sich als Ă€uĂerst problemlos dar und ĂŒber Mangel an Strom und Wasser mussten wir uns nie sorgen.
Man fĂŒhlt sich praktisch wie auf dem Olymp, hoch oben ĂŒber Vasilitsi, mit dem Blick auf das Meer und in der Nacht wird einem ein unvergleichlicher Sternenhimmel geboten.
Die EKO-Villa ist ein wunderbarer Ort um erholsame Tage zu verbringen, wir genossen dieses zwei Wochen im September 2019 und waren vollauf begeistert. Die umliegenden Orte bieten alles was das Herz begehrt und die naheliegenden Tavernen laden mit herrlichen Speisen und gemĂŒtlicher AtmosphĂ€re zum verweilen ein.
Zum Meer in der Gegend muss man nichts sagen auĂer ... toll!
Nach unserem wunderbaren Aufenthalt ĂŒberlegten wir was verbessert werden könnte und haben nur einen kleinen Punkt gefunden, die SpĂŒlmaschine kann erst sehr spĂ€t gestartet werden so das man nicht vor 11:00 Uhr das Haus verlassen kann, hier sollte die Zeituhr unseres Erachtens auf 9:00 Uhr eingestellt werden. Dieses ist keinesfalls als Kritik gedacht, lediglich als ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag.
Wir können uns sehr gut vorstellen wieder zu kommen.
Herzlichst, Wolfgang und Familie
We loved this place when we bought it. Quiet and private. We want to make something special and you realy find this nowhere else. We build a friendly and eco villa on a place where everyone said that we are crazy. After a view years it is finished an we are verry happy. Our dream. Kind regards edwin and inge
