Old Stone Houses - Beautifully Renovated with Pools
Stunning Views of the Sea and the Mountains
2, 3 and 5 Bedroom Houses
|
|
The stretch of coast between Kyparissia and Pyrgos has been untouched by tourism and has some of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in the Peloponnesian including a 60 km stretch of white sand running from just below the village all the way to Pyrgos. Inland you immediately see the mountains and there are endless ancient sites, villages and walks to be discovered without any effort at all. Just head in any direction and discover. This a typical rural Peloponnesian community. Predominantly it’s a farming community of olives, sheep and vines. There are wonderful tavernas in the local villages. Kyparissia and Pyrgos are the main market town (15-20 min. away). Here you find shops, banks, restaurants, bars and Greek nightclubs! The village of Agaliani also has a tiny cafe which looks exactly as it must have 100 years ago, with photos of the owner Costas getting married on his horse. The Kafenion chairs and table spill out onto the road.

Papous' House
|
|
| This very stylish studio conversion from an old stone building is on the edge of the village of Agaliani, right opposite The Old Stone House. All the charm and warmth of the old building has been kept with modern comfort, air conditioning and double fronted glass across the front wall to allow lovely views of the mountains around; this opens out onto a walled terrace with hammock, coconut tree and outside dining area. The locals call it 'The Villa' as appreciation of its new found glory. The main double bedroom lies on a mezzanine level reached via a hand made spiral staircase. The second bedroom has two bunk beds. The bathroom has a bath and washing machine. Mountain bikes are available for hire and walks and bike rides literally start at the front door in all directions. The road does not go past this point so no cars will pass by as you sit on your terrace contemplating life. Ideal for an extra family or grandparents or nanny etc. | |

Stone House & Studio Combined
|
|
|
This property will sleep 10 comfortably. It would be ideal for 2 families or a family wanting separate accommodation option for grandparents or nannies, etc. It is made up of two self contained units: The Stone House (6) and Papous' House (4). The properties are both walled and gated in beautifully designed whitewashed stone - a Moorish look. They are separated by a small track - so if you rent both, then all the occupants can use the outside facilities of both properties, wandering across to the small pool or just lying on one of the many terraces or in a hammock. Because the local Greeks sleep in the summer afternoons (the 'Mesi Meri') we have decided that this is not available to large groups who wish to party and make a noise. We wish them well but not in this tranquil spot. |

Further details
The Peloponnese is a rugged land with a mountainous interior and unspoilt beaches, an island connected to the mainland by two new bridges with spectacular views across the Bay of Corinth.
The climate is purely Mediterranean along the coasts, unlike the center which has a relatively continental climate. A mythical land whose every corner brings to mind some Greek myth, the Peloponnese has more important ancient sites than any other island or country, these include Sparta, Mycenae, Corinth, Olympia, Ancient Figalia, Epidaurus, Mistras, Monemvassia and Ithomi to name but a few. Helen of Troy was from The Peloponnese. Kalamata Olives are famous the world over.
