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.

Olives & Oranges

You'll find this modern gem situated in the hills above Methoni. With such an excellent location, you can expect the views to match, and there's no better spot to take it all in than the roof terrace. Not only can you catch a glimpse of the clear blue sea, but the village's famous 13th-century castle and the island of Sapienza are also on the horizon. It's the perfect place to toast your holiday with a glass of wine from the welcome basket and watch the glorious sunsets. Meanwhile, afternoons are best spent floating in the crystal clear pool and dining alfresco on the patio – if some fun in the sun is what you're after, you can't do much better.

Inside, it's as minimal and sleek as the exterior, with crisp white walls and big windows showing off the vistas. Both bedrooms are comfortable and stylish and boast luxe en-suite bathrooms to boot. The open-plan living area is a little compact, but with the doors open onto the garden and the breeze blowing through, indoor/outdoor living is effortless. Stroll down into Methoni when you fancy a change of pace – the castle, the beach and the town's array of eateries are twenty minutes away. 

Celestial Beings

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of West Mani from this contemporary stone villa in Neochori. Situated within an exclusive two-villa complex, this hideaway is the perfect choice for a memorable stay – keep in mind that your neighbours are just across the wall. Wake up to the breathtaking sea views of the Messinian Gulf, soak up the sun from the poolside beds, and share sundowners from one of the alfresco lounge spots. From here, it’s just a short drive to Stoupa Beach, with Agios Nikolaos town also within easy driving distance. 

The Ocean Reflections

Looking out over the picturesque village of Methoni in Messenia, Peloponnese, this striking villa looks like a dazzling sugar cube against the blue of the sky. 
 
One of three villas nestled amongst the surrounding scenic olive groves, you’ll have wide-sweeping views across the coast – best enjoyed from the main bedroom’s balcony at sunset – while the glistening private pool invites you to relax and unwind in its calming waters.
 
Inside, a sleek, contemporary decor in cool shades of white and pops of blue amplifies the ample natural light pouring through the windows. And we love the attention to detail your hosts have given to make you feel right at home – like the welcome basket of locally sourced goodies including fresh olive oil from the groves surrounding your home, handpicked and pressed for your enjoyment. 
 
While you could easily while away the whole day in your sugar cube sanctuary, venture into Methoni to visit the Bourtzi of Methoni Castle (a six-minute drive) or sink your toes in the sand at Paralia Methonis, a five-minute drive away or twenty-five minutes away on foot.


Cubic Splendour

If you’re dreaming of a quiet Greek escape, this villa on the Messenian Gulf is pretty special. It’s tucked away on a private resort surrounded by forest, so it feels really peaceful. You’ve got your own pool and terrace with sea views – the ideal spot for lazy lunches or sunset dinners. Inside, the space is quite compact but has everything you need, with the living area opening out to a balcony overlooking the water. There are also shared tennis and basketball courts if you’re feeling active. You’ll need a car, but it’s only a ten-minute drive to Kitries Beach and about half an hour to the picturesque city of Kalamata.

The Quiet Gulf

This stunning stone-built villa on the Mani Peninsula blends traditional character with modern comfort. Just 800 metres from the beach, it’s set in a quiet spot with a generous patio for relaxing, dining and enjoying the sea views at sunset. Inside, the high ceilings and open-plan living space give it a spacious and stylish feel. Outside, relax and watch the waves. With sandy coves, tavernas and lively beach bars close by, it’s an ideal base for discovering the beauty and charm of Mani.

Luxury Sea Retreat

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

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

Perched overlooking the Messinian Gulf, this dreamy villa presents a serene sight for sore eyes whichever way you look. A new build, it was only finished in 2020, yet manages to reflect the authentic character of its historic surroundings effortlessly impressively. 

One of the biggest highlights of this home is the undisturbed panoramic sea views, visible from everywhere on the terrace. You won't miss out on catching a glimpse of the sunset from inside the villa either, as the arched terrace frames the sparkling seascape like a piece of art hanging across the entire south-facing wall of the living area. 

Spend your days whiling away at one of the patio lounge areas, or better still, on the sunbeds by the pool. It's easy to unplug and reconnect with nature from here, as you'll be at liberty to take in views of both the sea and the mountains all day long. 

With added home luxuries, including an outdoor shower as well as luxurious towels and slippers – you might have to pinch yourself to believe you're not staying at a five-star spa hotel resort. 

When you can peel yourself away from this blissful retreat, head out to explore the Peloponnese peninsula. Located in Neochori Manis – you're only four kilometres away from the sandy shores and turquoise waters of Kalogria Beach. 

Pinch Me, I Must Be Dreaming

With stunning views of the Peloponnese and the sea, this villa is a truly special place to stay. Watch the sunset from the terrace or the large infinity pool – there’s a jacuzzi here too. Built from stone by local craftsmen, this home blends seamlessly with the landscape. There are more sea views to enjoy from the first-floor living space and the bedrooms as well. Located in the south-eastern corner of Zakynthos, the shoreline is just 15 metres away, while Porto Roma beach is just a five-minute stroll.

Bay View Oasis

Set above the cliffs, this home in Neochori Village offers impressive views over the Messenian Gulf. There are multiple holiday homes here, so you’ll share the outdoor terrace and pool. Sun-soaked outdoor areas mean alfresco lounging and dining, while the interior of this home provides a welcome respite from the Mediterranean sun. The style is simple, with a well-equipped kitchen and living room – perfect for socialising after the sun goes down. Nearby you’ll find local bakeries and eateries, while the sands of Stoupa Beach are a short drive away.
