About this property

Villa Kamares-a luxury family-friendly home with pool, and lots of outdoor space

Villa Kamares - our lovely and substantial gated family home with swimming pool, in the beautiful Frigano area just above Stoupa. We particularly love the outdoor space: the various terraces (from which the house is named) and the spacious outdoor areas. It is perfect for sun-soaking or enjoying a morning coffee as you watch the sun rising over the mountains. In the evening from our covered sun terrace, you can admire the wonderful, ever-changing sunsets, with the Messinian Bay glittering below.

Here you can relax with a glass of local wine while listening to the cicadas all around. It is our pleasure to help our guests to feel like they are staying in our home – not just a rented space.

Our home has three comfortable bedrooms, each with luxury cotton bed linen and towels; two well-appointed bathrooms; a large kitchen dining area; a large sitting room with sun terraces either side, one of which is covered and has comfy seating available to enjoy the striking sunsets. There are several shaded terraces for eating/reading/doing nothing much, and lots of outside seating, including poolside seating with shady umbrellas. Our Villa is orientated to take advantage of the mountain and coastal views, cooling sea breezes and the magnificent sunsets.
This is a friendly family home with all its conveniences available to guests. There is a well-stocked kitchen (for those who like to cook,) which includes a large hob, spacious fridge freezer, coffee machine, and dishwasher. It opens on to a dining area with seating for up to 10 guests. There is lots of crockery, cutlery, and glassware available. For everyday convenience there is a washing-machine; top quality towels (and beach towels), air-conditioning and all bed linen, plus free WiFi. In fact, everything to make your stay a perfect one. The washing machine, iron, ironing board, and extra garden furniture, are kept discreetly in the basement.
Our home has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and for exploring the beautiful Greek countryside and the Greek way of life. From here you can explore the wonderful Mani - we have some included some pictures for you of the numerous nearby beaches and the many picturesque villages. You can walk around the many local footpaths, and sample the local delicious food and wine. Photographers will have a wonderful time capturing the beautiful sunsets and the majestic mountains.
Villa Kamares is also less than 2 minutes' drive from the beaches of Stoupa with its crystal clear water and many Tavernas. The local beach at Kologria is a favourite, as is the huge choice of fantastic restaurants in Stoupa. Close by are the delightful villages of Aghios Nikolaos and Kardamili - all very different and equally charming. The house wine by the carafe in all local tavernas is always good; as are the cocktails (and amazing views) at the 360 Bar in Stoupa. Going further afield you may want to rent a boat for half a day/day; or visit the Diros caves, and the fascinating town of Areopoli. Of course, relaxing by the pool also makes a lovely lazy day; add a barbecue and all is perfect. A drive into mountains offers amazing views, several great Tavernas and many small villages with their own special character.

Parking is inside house gates.

Available for short or longer lets; full information available from the helpful owner.

Here is what one of our previous guests had to say:
Avigail and Danny A. from Tel-Aviv: The most amazing holiday we and our children have ever had! The house and all the rooms are beautifully furnished, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen has very professional equipment; here we can cook everything: from simple breakfasts to refined barbecue dishes!
During the hottest afternoons, you can relax on the shady terraces and at night you can watch the moon and stars from the roof terrace. Although WiFi worked perfectly, we chose to familiarise ourselves with the house's library where you can find maps, books, novels, Greek history, and recipe books. There is a lovely romantic pool in a spectacular garden with fruit trees and aromatic plants: we will remember this holiday for a long time and recommend the house to everyone we know.
Extra thanks to the villa's owners excellent, lightning-fast service, and good local guidance!

Alles super in Stoupa

Das Haus hat bei der Ankunft sogar noch unsere hohen Erwartungen übertroffen. Der Garten, der Pool, die extrem gut ausgestatte Küche, die vielen Terrassen - man könnte ewig fortfahren. An Negativem gab es so gut wie nichts, außer einem verzogenen Türrahmen und einem Stromausfall, für den der Anbieter nichts konnte. Wir werden wiederkommen!

Fantastic villa

Our family of four (two teens) had an amazing stay in this fantastic villa. Beautiful views, extremely clean, really comfortable and so many outside seating areas. We spent a lot of time in the lovely pool including a few night time swims. We did walk to Stoupa a few times and once back, then arranged a taxi with Stoupa Taxis for €5 each way as the walk back uphill was a little far. Really clear communication and response to any queries. We would definitely choose the villa again.

Stunning property in Stoupa

This home is absolutely wonderful and we will be eager to return. The pictures actually don't do it justice. The views are spectacular from each of the six terraces, and there are more outdoor nooks and sitting areas than you'll be able to enjoy in a week. We found the home to be clean, well-stocked and outfitted, and in almost impeccable condition. The property manager, Michael from Mani Hospitality, provided great information and was very responsive. And the town of Stoupa and its environs are wonderful to enjoy and explore. You can wind your way down the Mani or up in the mountains, or just stay put and enjoy the beach and the bay views. Either way this spot will not disappoint!

Great house in a beautiful place

We really enjoyed our stay at this villa in the Mani! The views, the many outdoor spaces, the landscaping were all gorgeous and comfortable. There is a grocery store nearby and many lovely tavernas. The beaches are also wonderful. The house is large and very comfortable! Our stay with three kids and 2 grandparents was perfect!

Superbe villa !!! Wonderfull villa !!!

Thanks to Wynne we had amazing holidays, everything was perfect when we arrived. The house was well equipped with great taste. The garden area was really cute as well, the swimming pool was pleasant even at night thanks to colourful lights in it. We strongly recommend you this villa if you are seeking for a calm place near Stoupa, a lovely place to discover the east of the Peleponese. Christine and Thierry, Monique and Mathilde

Perfect holiday

Can’t rate the property, location, hosts and holiday as a whole highly enough! Wynne and Andy were exceptionally helpful and accommodating, to the point that they even let us extend our stay by a day after we had made a clerical error and booked a day less than intended. The villa is absolutely gorgeous with every piece of equipment and all amenities you could wish for, in a fantastic location not far from stoupa or up in to the hills and has incredible 360 degree views and the perfect sun set balcony spot. Whilst we were expecting somewhere very nice we were blown away by just how nice it was and the pics on line don’t do it justice. Plus the pool and pool area is gorgeous and we spent several days venturing no further than there. From the villa you have access to Stoupa (just about walking distance, certainly down hill, and if not then 3 mins in a car) which has 2 lovey beaches and a wealth of brilliant restaurants and bars, but it’s also perfectly located to explore the whole of the Mani peninsula with nowhere further than an hour and half’s drive away, but dozens of lovely beaches, towns and villages only 15/20 minutes drive away, as well as being able to get up in to the mountains easily and explore mountain villages. Once again, we really couldn’t rate the place highly enough, it’s an absolute guaranteed 6 stars out of 5 and we will definitely be coming back again. Thanks to Wynne and Andy for such a brilliant holiday

Un havre de paix 5*

Villa exceptionnelle dans un cadre magnifique, offrant une vue sur de superbes paysages (mer et montagnes) ainsi que le coucher de soleil, à partir des différentes terrasses dont elle dispose. Très propre et toute équipée, on peut y cuisiner de bons petits plats, se détendre au bord de la piscine ou passer des soirées ciné en famille. Les literies sont de vrais petits nuages ! La climatisation est présente dans la majorité des pièces. La villa sécurisée est arborée d'arbres fruitiers dont on peut en déguster les fruits. Wynne et Andy nous ont offert des cadeaux (vin, huile d'olive et confiture d'abricot) à notre arrivée et se sont montrés très disponibles et attentionnés durant tout notre séjour. Des plages aux eaux cristallines sont situées à 5 min en voiture. Très bon point de départ pour visiter la région du Magne. En bref, nous recommandons à 1000% cette villa !

About the host

Hosted by Wynne

Host profile image
We, Andy and Wynne, bought our lovely home after spending time all around this area over the last 20 years. We wanted to be more than holidaymakers or visitors; we wanted to have our own little piece of this lovely place and to be part of the community. So three years ago we took the plunge and here we are. We still have a home in England, though we try to spend as much time here as possible because we love the area. Our plan is to spend have more time here in the future.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in a bit of a mad moment because it was quirky and offered lots of space. It also had the mountain views we wanted, as well as views of the sea and sunsets; the position of the house and its many terraces make all this possible.
It is also a house that is built to a very high spec in terms of all the build, and internal needs such as quality electricity and gas provision; it has well-built windows and shutters with built-in mosquito guards, beautifully tiled floors and lovely local stonework. The kitchen dining area is large which is great if you like cooking or entertaining.

What makes this property unique

Our house sits on a quiet narrow road; it is surrounded by a large gated stone wall and has lots of outside space with fruit trees and flowering shrubs. It includes a pool, as well as several other sitting/barbecue areas. There are various terraces where you can sunbathe, or spend time in the shade. The views are brilliant, yet we are close to Stoupa - a 2-minute drive, and to other villages around.
