Nestled on the hillside above the Bay of Tolo, you'll find this beautiful villa. With plenty of space, incredible gardens, and a fabulous location, it's the ideal place to press pause and recharge your batteries. 

This home has been designed to make the most of the fantastic coastal views – you can wake up and step straight onto the balcony and sip your coffee as you admire the stunning scenery. Come afternoon, you'll want to make the most of the Greek sunshine and stretch out on a lounger to catch some rays, before plunging into the pool for a refreshing swim. And, when evening rolls around, mix some cocktails to sip on the terrace before you serve up a tasty alfresco feast under the pergola.

Take a three-minute drive down into the village of Tolo to visit the long sandy beach and dine on fresh seafood at the local tavernas. The historic town of Nafplio is just twelve minutes away by car, where you'll find fascinating museums, winding streets, and even an imposing castle. And, then at the end of the day, you can head home for a long soak in the hot tub under the stars – bliss. 

Perfect Blend

Welcome Hamper

If you were looking for perfect locations in which to build a home, this spot on the southeastern Peneloponese coastline would be a strong contender. Surrounded by lush vegetation — including trees growing olives, almonds, pears and lemons — it also has the added perk of having direct access to a secluded beach.

Part of a collection of five villas, this home makes the most of its beautiful position with a long terrace area containing an alfresco dining table, a couple of loungers and even a giant chess set. The interior has plenty of glass doors and large windows so you can still marvel at the scenery from inside, too. We're big fans of the decor, which is contemporary in style but subtle and unshowy about it.

As well as Kissakas beach almost quite literally on your doorstep, there are further seaside options a short drive away — like Tserfos just over a quarter of an hour's drive — as well as plenty of hiking routes and the town of Leonidio about fifteen minutes away in the car.

Perched on a hilltop skirting the fishing village of Kilada, this villa is a bright and contemporary way to explore the historic Peloponnese. Visit the ancient Greek city of Mycenae or watch a theatrical performance in the Epidavros. Closer to home, you'll spot fish taverns and cafes, but with Doroufi and Vrochitsa both only 400m away, the beach might be your first stop. When you're home, there's a tennis court, games room, private pool, and barbecue to keep the whole family occupied. Throw in daily housekeeping and hand some of the itinerary planning over to your host, and you only have to worry about having too much fun.

If you’re on the lookout for a super-house for multiple families, in a spectacular island setting, this is it. Standing high on a hill on stunning Aegina Island, the home is perfectly placed. The 180-degree ocean views are epic from here. But the buzzy city centre is pleasingly close enough just 4km away. 

The villa is set over four levels, with plenty of space for a gang of eighteen. The vibe is relaxed, with lots of colour and homely touches. Families will especially love it here. Table tennis, giant chess, a playground and basketball facilities mean the kids are well catered for. Meanwhile, the grown-ups can recline with a book by the oh-so-chic infinity pool. Heaven. 

If you can drag yourself away, it’s worth exploring this beautiful island. Your nearest beach is Marathonas – its shallow water makes it a great spot for little ones to swim. Or don your best hiking shoes and explore the nature-rich mountains where there are ancient chapels to discover. 

Then head home, fire up the built-in barbecue and feast with your loved ones as the sun sets over the ocean.

Designed with outdoor living in mind, you’ll have a private infinity pool, alfresco dining terrace, vegetable garden and tennis courts to make use of.

Ready to escape the overcrowded beaches and busy hotels you’d usually find on holiday? Well, this home is just the ticket. With enough space for the whole family, this beautiful villa is surrounded by rolling hills and luscious greenery, with breathtaking views from every angle.

Sitting on the eastern side of Argolic Bay, lavish and luxurious as it may be, this place has an authentic ‘home from home’ feel about it. The patterned tiles and nautical–inspired accessories add a beachy vibe, meanwhile the woven light fixtures and rattan furnishings add a further touch of style. Each bedroom has been individually designed with its own unique colour scheme, and the choice of accessories proves it really is all about those finer details. The interior is stunning right through, but we’ve got a particularly huge soft spot for the adjoining kitchen and lounge area. Warm and welcoming, use this space to gather with family and friends at the end of the day for a quick nightcap and a chat before sinking into your cosy bed to catch some well-deserved rest. 

Outside, this home is just sensational. A white–washed pergola enlivened with bright pink flowers and foliage frames the front door and traditional blue shutters cover the windows. There’s a spacious seated patio area that’s perfect for enjoying a spot of al fresco dining and a charming attic veranda, offering the best sunset views in all of Salanti. If like us, you love nothing more than watching the tide roll in, you’re in luck. Boasting a picture–perfect sea view, the balcony terrace welcomes guests to grab an ouzo, sit back and gaze out at the coastline.

And how could we possibly forget to mention the private pool? Take a break from the Grecian sun and immerse yourself in the refreshing depths of the crystal–clear water. Here you can enjoy a few leisurely lengths, or quickly retreat to the cosy sun loungers for a delicious espresso freddo – bliss!


Blue Shutters & Sea Views

This spectacular villa is sure to provide the perfect backdrop for your summer holiday. Just one look out over the water from your private pool deck will let you know you’re in a truly special place. This home is located 30 metres from the beach, and just outside pretty Petalidi, a little coastal village that offers a dreamy break to beach lovers and cobblestone street explorers alike. It offers the ideal retreat to return to when not out exploring the idyllic coast of this Greek haven.

Start your day by venturing out along the underground passage that goes directly from your home to the beach, and watch the sun come up over the gorgeous blue waves of the Messenian Gulf while you paddle on the shore. Come back up to your modern dwelling to grab yourself a delicious breakfast of Greek yoghurt with honey and granola, and tuck in at your stylish dining set. Make yourself up an ouzo cocktail and sit out on your stunning pool deck while gazing out over the sparkling sea view. Cool off from the midday sun with some lengths of your private pool, before reclining back on your hanging lounger chair. As the evening rolls in, make a pitcher of sundowners and sit out together on your outdoor table and chairs, and enjoy uninterrupted views of the sunset. 

Sunsets & Silhouettes

A luxurious stone villa just 800m from the beach, surrounded by a heavenly patio with unparalleled views, will offer you unforgettable vacations! The spacious patio is the ideal place to enjoy your favorite drink, gazing upon the magnificent sunsets of Mani or a meal cooked with local products! The atmosphere is idyllic: the romantic beaches, shimmering gold sand & clear blue sky will take your breath away. The area is rich in restaurants, traditional taverns & bars. Free WIFI and parking. Immerse yourself in a unique experience at this maisonette, situated a mere 800m from the beach. Boasting a large patio with breathtaking views of the endless blue, this luxurious and meticulously designed retreat offers a perfect blend of comfort and style. The area combines cosmopolitan vibes with a serene atmosphere, allowing you to indulge in moments of leisure and relaxation.

Luxury Sea Retreat

Parking On Premises

Perched right in front of the sea and offering views of Messinian Bay, this apartment delivers on location. Exploring Kalamata on foot is easy, with local taverns, restaurants, and bars within easy reach. The beach and port are also just across the street. Back home, you can rest your feet in the modern living space. Although the lofted main bedroom is comfortable and contemporary, it isn't the most private since it overlooks the lounge. Guests five and six will also be sleeping on a sofa bed, so we think it's best for shorter trips. Overall, the home lacks some creature comforts – including a washing machine and proper air conditioning – but it's a convenient place to unwind between adventures.

With panoramic views over the saltwater Lake Vouliagmeni, Mount Hymettus and the Gulf of Corinth – this home is inspiring. It’s easy to escape the everyday stresses of life here.

When you fancy exploring, take a ten-minute stroll to Lake Vouliagmeni with its charming tavernas and picturesque bars. Other attractions in the area include Loutraki Thermal Spa, five miles away, while the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth and Penteskoufi Castle are both around eight miles from this gorgeous home.


Mount Hymettus Reflections

This modern stone villa makes an instant impression. Situated in a holiday complex in Lefktro, overlooking the rugged landscape of West Mani, this villa is an idyllic spot for friends or family to spend quality time. You’ll need a car here to access Pantazi Beach and the mountainous village of Pigi – there’s parking for you here. The complex has been celebrated in several architectural features, which is clear from the contemporary designs and thoughtful use of space. We love the central cantilever staircase, the sunken terrace that merges with the infinity pool and the sleek interiors – it’s a unique spot to share Greek feasts and while away the days under the Ionian sun. 

The Garden of Gods

Nestled within a garden of olive trees with views across the Taïgetos mountains, everything about this home celebrates the rustic beauty of its setting.

Inside, the interiors are refreshingly simple with vistas that will leave you feeling captivated by the charm of the Peloponnese. Outside, peaceful days can be spent relaxing in the garden or on nearby Pantazi beach (just a 250m walk away). The picturesque port is also nearby and provides the perfect opportunity to mingle with locals in traditional tavernas. And for explorations further afield, the region is brimming with beautiful beaches, coves, picturesque hilltop villages and spectacular hiking trails. 

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a sanctuary to rest, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living. Gather for dreamy sunset drinks, enjoy cooking with fresh local produce in the fully equipped kitchen or rustle up a treat on the barbecue. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, the air-conditioned rooms set the tone for a peaceful night’s rest, while the fire in the living room will keep you cosy in cooler months.

Sitting on the sun-kissed shores of Agios Dimitrios, this home makes a great spot for a rejuvenating coastal retreat. The private pool and terrace deliver a constant source of calm, while the sauna, shared gym, canoes and sup board add an extra something special to this simple setting. For explorations further afield, it’s just a short walk to the nearest beach with easy access to local tavernas and shops. Your host can also help arrange excursions and activities – a sweet option for families looking for a healthy dose of fun.


Straight to the Sea

While The Peloponnese region certainly has its fair share of mountainous terrain, you’ll also love spending time on its sandy beaches and exploring dramatic coastlines. Dotted along its shores, quaint villages like Limeni make for postcard-ready scenes next to unbelievably clear blue waters. And just six minutes away by car, this villa also ebbs into the realm of something unbelievable.

Built in line with local architecture of the area, this home sits on a viewpoint that will make you gaze out in wonder and awe. Surrounded by lush vegetation and made from chunky, natural stone, it’s perched on a hillside where you can see miles upon miles of the Mediterranean Sea. Take a seat at one of three separate terrace areas, each with its own vista, and pour a glass of local wine to start your holiday.

After you’ve had your fill of panoramic views, step inside via a pretty blue, wooden front door – true to tradition. Follow the glossy wooden floors through to the cute, country kitchen where you can prepare fresh cuts of meat for the barbecue. Or wander through to the magnificent lounge, where wooden beams line the ceiling and cast a shadow on a superb mezzanine floor. Understated, traditional, and above all cosy, this villa offers Greek hospitality at its best.

Nestled in the seaside village of Verga, near the Greek city of Kalámata, this charming villa awaits. Offering panoramic views of the Messenian gulf and the surrounding Taygetus mountains, this home offers a beautiful base from which to explore the southern coast.

The pebbly beaches nearby make for peaceful days out on the shore, but if you’re craving something a little more fast-paced, Kalámata Old Town's maze of cobbled streets are brimming with artisanal shops, museums, cafes and bars. For an insight into the city's rich history, the surrounding castles are also well worth a visit.

The terrace is definitely at the heart of this home, boasting a private swimming pool, comfy sun loungers and a barbecue. If you fancy a private dinner at home, grab some local seafood and fire up the grill. There are plenty of cosy spots from which to catch a sunset - pour yourself a glass of wine and take a seat on the balcony for the best views in the house.

A Piece of the Peloponnese

Sweeping sea views take centre stage at this chic maisonette set along the Mani Peninsula in the village of Neochori. Part of an intimate holiday complex, you’ll share the stylish swimming pool and communal terraces with a handful of other apartments. But that private sea-facing balcony at the apartment to enjoy complimentary breakfasts delivered to your door is all yours. You’ll need a car to explore the nearby seaside villages of Stoupa and Agios Nikolaos (a five-minute drive). Or let your host arrange an excursion to Limeni, Areopolis or the impressive Diros Caves. 

Honey Hued Sun

Far away from the everyday stresses of city life, your idyllic studio home sits a mere five minutes from the pebble beach of Kitries. This picturesque fishing village invites you to slow down among its hilly vistas, traditional taverns, and seaside restaurants. There is no better place for a relaxing and romantic getaway on the Messenian Gulf.

Designed for spending quality time together, this open-plan apartment is all about informality and ease, as it flows straight to its standout feature – the balcony. If you have remote work to do, you will certainly be able to focus in this well-lit office. Each morning, open up the doors and let the sea breeze blow inside. Make plans over a Peloponnese breakfast at this intimate dining table. Following an adventurous road trip, why don't you come back to your shared garden for a social barbecue? We can't help but fall in love with the incomparable view from your private balcony, guaranteeing gorgeous sunsets every evening.

Something of the Marvellous

Courtyard

Hidden between olive groves, and surrounded by gorgeous gardens, this majestic castle stands atop the Mikri Mantineia hill. The exterior is striking to say the least, with rustic stonework, turrets and terraces overlooking the Messinian Bay, whilst the inside boasts traditional furniture, wooden beamed ceilings and winding stone staircases. 

Start your mornings on the balcony, the perfect place to soak up the spectacular scenery with a cup of coffee. If you're looking for a way to energise yourself for the day ahead, nothing beats a swim in the cool waters of the private pool. If you do manage to tear yourself away from this incredible home, there's plenty to explore in Kalamata. 

A pretty pebble beach is a short walk away, offering crystal clear waters and an array of cafes and taverns serving fresh fish. If you're looking to soak up some of the local history and culture, there are plenty of landmarks within driving distance, from ancient temples built in the 1700s to museums offering a journey into the city's fascinating past. 

However you choose to spend your days, coming home to a castle is an experience in itself. The garden is the best place to wind down in the evenings. Pick some fresh fruits and vegetables from the trees, then cook an alfresco feast on the barbecue. Just as the sun begins to set choose a bottle of wine and watch the sky change colour over the ocean. 

The Castle Garden

Nestled on the edge of a cliff, close to Peloponnese's coastline, you'll find this smart villa. Tranquil and chic, it's the perfect place to switch off and enjoy exploring the Greek peninsula's beautiful landscapes and charming towns. 

Step inside, and you'll find a sophisticated space with a soothing colour scheme and plenty of natural textures. Pour a glass of Greek wine and kick back on the sofa as you plan your itinerary in these stylish surroundings. When you get hungry, you can cook your favourite dishes in the slick kitchen – or, head outside to the garden and light up the barbeque for a delicious alfresco feast as you admire the sea views. 

If you're craving some Vitamin Sea, it's easy to walk down to the local beach – you'll arrive at the sandy shoreline of Paralia Melissi within fifteen minutes. There are plenty of gorgeous towns to explore along Pelopenesse's coastline, so make sure you organise a road trip to discover some hidden coves and awe-inspiring maritime views. And, if you head inland, you can join some incredible hiking trails that will take you to rural villages and hilltop churches in the mountains. 

Peninsula Panorama

If you can't decide whether to book a hotel or villa for your Greek adventure, this versatile palace provides the best of both. A concierge service, fresh breakfast and huge spaces exude the vibe of a five-star hotel that you have all to yourself. 

For an extra layer of privacy, the villa can be divided into four separate properties that act as a peaceful haven. The host caters to whichever type of holiday you want.

Afternoons can be spent eating fresh seafood whilst overlooking the beauty of the Aegean Sea. Tranquil and serene, many choose to while away the evenings with a spot of yoga or reading a book. For a more social occasion, the dining table acts as the perfect setting to chat the night away amongst stunning scenery.

If you're up for stretching your legs, the beach is just a two-minute walk and is largely secluded from tourists. Head the other direction and reach the charming town of Hydra, a hub of Greek history and welcoming tavernas. 





Dream The Days Away

Throws

It's fair to say that each of the Greek islands has a distinct identity and Spetses appeals to those fond of the finer things in life, with plenty of high-end restaurants and boutiques dotted across the map. You'll also find some rather impressive villas, such as this majestic home.

Spread across three floors, the star of the show has to be the swimming pool surrounded by a terrace with loungers on which to dry off after a dip. Up on the top floor, you'll find another terrace with pleasingly green views, but if you need a break from the sun, there's a verandah with a dining table and a hammock practically begging for a post-lunch snooze.

The interior feels typically Greek with whitewashed walls, shuttered windows and a few boho touches in the furnishings and decorations. The glass doors on the ground floor bring in plenty of natural light, as well as a burst of fresh air when swung open. We've also got kind words for the contemporarily styled kitchen in a dashing shade of grey, too.

When it comes to seeing a little more is the island, there are small beaches within three hundred metres of the home, while the larger Kaiki beach takes about ten minutes to reach on foot. The port town of Spetses is a similar amount of time in the opposite direction and offers a great choice of restaurants and a pair of museums to explore.

Breathtaking Seaview Villa

Art Deco aficionados will adore this home on the Athenian riviera. Designed by a French architect in the 1930s, the special house has been modernised over the years but is still rich in original features. From the grand oak staircase to the terrazzo tiles in the hallway, it's a visual feast for nostalgic travellers.

And there's more to see in the gardens – that's right, there are two gardens. On the east side, you'll find a sun lounger-fringed swimming pool as well as a peaceful veranda. The west garden is home to a flourishing orange tree, which provides shade for the six-person dining table. Grill up a storm on the barbecue and spend all evening outdoors.

History buffs can't leave this area without visiting the Temple of Apollo at Corinth, fifteen minutes away by car. The limestone structure is perched on a rocky hill with views over the ancient city. But even closer to home, there are plenty of beaches, shops and tavernas to meet all of your holiday needs – you'll likely hear the Loutraki Waterfalls whispering as you stroll around the village.

The Greek Gatsby

Bathrobes

Perched on a hill overlooking Messinian bay, this sleek Greek villa boasts sweeping views of the breathtaking Peloponnesian landscape. Travel through ancient olive groves and lush pine fields to reach this halcyon home, where a private infinity pool and luminous living spaces await.

When you're not lounging poolside with the Grecian heat on your skin, hang out indoors and hit the air-con switch. Your hosts have opted for clean, contemporary decor that lets the outside in through floor-to-ceiling windows. Both of the sitting rooms and two double bedrooms look directly onto the expanse of sea, cradled by low hills on either side.

Behind the villa, you'll notice the impressive Mount Taygetos. The foot of this popular hiking route can be reached in a couple of hours – but it's not for the faint of heart, particularly in the height of summer. If you opt for an afternoon on the beach instead, no one will blame you. Your nearest include Foneas and Delfinia beaches.

Halcyon Haze

A beautiful home overlooking the Messinian gulf, this villa provides you with the perfect way to start your day. Sip your morning coffee from your private patio as the sun rises, bathing you in warmth and fresh air. Settled in your garden, populated with beautiful flowers and greenery, you can enjoy the best of nature. With such a serene setting, you may choose to spend the day soaking up the sun from this peaceful spot, with a glass of wine in one hand and a good book in the other – just what holidays are made for. 

Inside, the home is charming and contemporary. The main bedroom with its olive green feature wall and door out onto the terrace promises a comfortable, quiet spot to rest your head at the end of a busy day exploring the Peloponnese peninsula. If you’re not tempted to one of the nearby restaurants to indulge in a spot of local cuisine, your kitchen is more than capable of testing your culinary skills. Friends and family can gather at the table sharing stories as the nominated cook for the evening rustles up a delicious home-cooked meal. With great food, great company and the benefit of such a calm setting, you’ll feel utterly relaxed and completely at home. 

Olive & Sand

Looking out over the Corinthian Gulf, sitting on the balcony at this stylish villa is like having an amphitheatre seat overlooking one of mother nature’s greatest shows. Especially at sunset. There’s a terrace for outdoor dining as misty mountains loom across the ocean, and a bench and chairs for cocktails on the lawn. 

Inside, it’s crisp white walls with sheer curtains that billow in the sea breeze. Driftwood accents throughout keep that beachy feel, but there’s something modern and sleek about the big, bright kitchen. Bedrooms are soothing spots to unwind, but the master bedroom cinches it with its private balcony overlooking the sparkling sea beyond.

In terms of location, you’re a ten-minute walk from the beach where crystalline shallows lap at a sandy shore. And, while there’s a shop and café a short walk away in Melissi village, the seaside resort town of Xylokastro with a selection of bars, restaurants and supermarkets is a ten-minute drive. 

The Pull of the Moon

Alarm System

Grecian charm comes to life in this traditional home nestled within the verdant countryside of the Mani Peninsula. And with the beach just a short walk away, you’ll find yourself in the perfect setting for a restorative retreat – one that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired from the moment of arrival. 

From quiet mornings watching the sunrise over the Taygetos mountains to lazy afternoons on a lounger, and idyllic drinks beneath the ancient olive trees, every detail of this home inspires a wonderful state of relaxation. And while the exterior sings with natural beauty, the interiors are thoughtfully designed to bring comfort and ease to your stay. You’ll find two living rooms provide an abundance of space to share quality time together, while the air-conditioned bedrooms will ensure you awaken feeling ready to explore. 

Stepping outside, it’s just a short walk to the beaches of Stoupa and Kalogria as well as the local shops, restaurants and bars. Adventure seekers will love the cycle routes and hiking trails along this majestic stretch of coastline, while those in search of a slow-paced getaway will love exploring the coves and beaches, as well as the picturesque villages of the region.  

The Peace Garden

The southern Peloponnese is known for its beautiful golden beaches, charming old-world villages and archaeological sites steeped in history. And from this spot in Valira, you'll be well-placed to make the most of it. Hop in the car to explore this picturesque region and you'll find something new at every turn. Head to Bouka Beach for a dip in the sea (just 18km away), nibble on the namesake olives in Kalamata's local eateries or step back in time at the ruins in Ancient Messene. 

Whatever you get up to, you'll love returning to this cosy home after a long day. Open a bottle of Greecian wine and enjoy it alfresco on the patio, breathing in the fresh air. Better yet, take a seat on the balcony and watch the sun dip below Valira's horizon as you dig into a feast prepared on the barbecue. The two outside spaces are hard to resist, but the open-plan layout inside is just as relaxing. Everyone can kick back, put their feet up and chill out together until bedtime, when the comfortable bedrooms are sure to be calling your name.
