Family-friendly holiday rentals in Messenia

We loved our stay at George's place in Kardamyli. The views from the balconies, the comfortable beds and walking distance to the charming town were all pluses. George was easy to communicate with and his colleague met us at the unit to show us around when we arrived. The unit was well appointed and felt very private. Highly recommended.

An amazing castle like home over a very large olive gorge overlooking the ocean. Absolutely stunning scenery all around us. Home had all the amenities one would hope for and then some. Very large space for our family of 9. Pool and hot tub were a hit plus tons of games including foosball and ping ball. The upper deck was perfect for sunsets. And while we did not use they had this amazing wood fire BBQ and sitting area one could use. The location was great. We were basically on side of mountain in a secluded area but close enough to small villages and beaches. Lots of tavernas within 10 mins…4 tavernas within 1/4 mile (although 2 were closed due to slow season). Getting into Kalamata city center was about 25 mins and well worth it. Ann provided several suggestions on her Airbnb page. While there is taxi service i would highly recommend having your own vehicle Ann has a local host, Joanna, helping out and was super helpful and very responsive. Don’t hesitate to rent this place!

if you're looking for something that's a little outside of the big cities in Greece this is a place to check out. be careful of Google maps as some of the roads are not there that are listed in Google maps. the location in Villa are beautiful with the swimming pool in views. a nice Oasis. to make it even better we were greeted with fresh homemade Greek cookies.

We had been travelling for 3 weeks and we arrived in Chrani, Peloponnese by bus very tired and looking for total relaxation for a good few days. We 100% achieved this. The view was stunning, the sea was flat like velvet and in the distance the beautiful mountains. The free umbrella’s & sun loungers on the beach a great add on & the peace and quiet was just what we needed. The sea is crystal clear & once in you don’t want to come out. The lady who cleaned was fabulous, changing sheets and towels/beach towels every 3 days, sweeping, changing bin bags & mopping everyday. She was truly a star. The other guests were people that have been coming to the same apartments for many years. Meeting friends they have met before. Very friendly, relaxed, chilled & highly recommend if you want to experience peace and quiet & beautiful scenery

What a pleasant stay with wonderful host. Georgia’s home provides all you need. The spa in the courtyard was enjoyed every night of our stay! Thank you.

Ο Σταύρος κατάφερε να μας κάνει να νιώσουμε σαν στο σπίτι μας όχι απλά το προτείνω αλλά αν τύχη θα ξαναπάω κιόλας

Great location with incredible views.

Amazing house, super view from the balconies we took 1000 pictures! as clean as it could be! The host george and his relatives were super communicative and helpful! The location is nice but you have to own a car to tour for the beach or anywhere else! I definitely recommend it!

I am glad we chose Kostas place! Kostas was very responsive, answered all my questions before and during my stay. I didn't have to wait long for a reply! His checking in was smooth and informative! The balcony is amazing, so relaxling with amazing views! as a family of 3 it was the perfect Hub for us to go off an explore and come back and relax on the roof terrace untill bedtime! Place was clean and fresh if you thinking about booking do it!!

Ολα ηταν τέλεια ο χορος υπέροχος και καθαρός και ο οικοδεσπότης φιλικός και εξυπηρετικός!

Words can't describe this place and Dia our hostess. Before we got there, Dia went above and beyond to help us with our plans, both on our travel there and during our stay. From the minute we stepped in we felt right at home. Everything you need is there and the surroundings are simply magnificent. From the view from the apartment to the private beach below. It was everything we could ask for. A true paradise we would like to keep to ourselves for future trips.. and of course Dia who made our vacation even more enjoyable and made sure we have everything we need. Thank you Dia!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au calme chez Ioannis qui nous a accueillis sur place. le site est exceptionnellement beau et la maison, très intime.

We enjoyed so much this beautiful house. For a family of four it was very comfortable for us. Space, comfort, great view, nice beds, warm water and wifi, it was al there. We stayed a week and the location was perfect for day trips all around Mani. Vivi and Dikeos were very kind. A great way to fall in love with Greece!

Το σπίτι της Μαρίας ήταν πολύ καθαρό και φιλόξενο. Όλα λειτουργούσαν πολύ καλά. Βρίσκεται σε όμορφη περιοχή λίγο πιο έξω από το κέντρο και έτσι μπορείς να παρκάρεις εύκολα. Για ένα ζευγάρι με αμάξι θεωρώ ότι είναι ό,τι πρέπει!

We enjoyed a memorable time at Nikolao’s house. We very much appreciated the comfort of the house, the view, and the direct access to the beach. We also appreciated that the house was very well equipped and the kind welcome gestures. Definitely recommended!

Παραδοσιακή κατοικία με υπέροχη θέα στη θάλασσα και πάρα πολύ ήσυχη. Οι οικοδεσπότες ευγενικοί και φιλόξενοι. Προτείνεται! Η αναλογία αξίας και τιμής είναι πάρα πολύ καλή.

Our family of 7 (with 2 young children) had a wonderful stay. We had plenty of room with lots of space inside and out. Beautiful, clean pool and outdoor kitchen were great. The resident pup was a hit with the kids! Beautiful views of sunrise and sunset and the lit Palamidi. We felt right at home from the start. John was very responsive with answers to our questions and the caretakers were there to help as well. The villa is an easy drive to Nafplio for restaurants and shopping. Close to beaches. Thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon at Axion Esti bee farm, learning about honey and beekeeping. I would gladly come back here on our next trip to the area.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche mit unseren 2 Kindern im Apartment von Efi. Die Lage ist wunderschön, Sonnenaufgang im Bett, absolute Ruhe, 10min zu Fuß zu einem wunderschönen Strand und toller Pool in der Anlage. Efi ist eine tolle Gastgeberin und war sehr zuvorkommend, der Service durch Ihre Haushälterin war toll. Ein absoluter Tip für Kletterer, die Klettergebiete von Leonidio sind in weniger als 15min zu erreichen. Vielen Dank, wir würden gerne wiederkommen!

We had an amazing stay. We had the ground floor apartment of a three storey property where Stathis family resides- even though this was the case, we had our own privacy to the grounds and the pool. The family were extremely lovely and we hardly saw them. The property was spotless and the grounds were extremely beautiful and peaceful with the fruit and herb trees surrounding the property. The kids had a great time in the pool. We loved our stay and we loved Kalamata!

Felt well taken care of. Host was easy to reach with any question. Amazing views. Could not be beat. Of course, there are lots of things to see in the area, but we did not wish to leave the view, so we still have most of these on our to do list for a future visit. The villa has ample space. No clutter, but everything one needs. Space is arranged to maximise the view. Quite private. Not overlooked. Couldn't think of anything to improve.

Eleni and her son Nikos were great hosts. Very kind and helpful. The accommodation is very pretty and well maintained. We enjoyed our stay a lot and had a peaceful and lovely holiday. Nearby are some very good restaurants and beautiful beaches. Couldn’t be better.

We enjoyed the beautiful house of Frasier very much. The house is clean and has everything you would want. The area is beautiful and quiet. The nearby village is nice, with friendly people and good food.

In 63 years I have traveled extensively, in many countries, and this was overall the most beautiful surprise of any place my husband and I have rented. Our hosts, Vincent and Jean-Claude, were present, warm, generous and responsive, and the house and location are beyond magical. We will return every year, for certain.

What a truly incredible place! It feels so peaceful, with stunning views surrounding you, while still just a stone's throw from the beach and delightful taverns. Niko and his team were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home! We had an unforgettable experience and are already dreaming of returning.
