About this property
House with character, very quiet, tastefully decorated
History The house has been a traditional cottage built inthe 40s. It was bought by our family and was completely renovated and enlarged. It is ideally located and follows all rules of traditional architecture of pelloponesian houses. It is therefore realy comfortable to stay even in the hot days in the summer. Winter is also very calm due to the close distance to the sea. Central heating is also installed, so that the house can be used throughout the year.
Description The house has two independent apartments. The ground floor provides accomodation facilities for 6 people and has one living room, one kitchen, one bedroom with two single beds and a second bedroom with a double bed, one bathroom and one WC. Two couches are placed also in the livingroom, which can be used as additional beds. The upper floor provides facilities for accomodation 4 people and has: one living room, one kitchen, one double bedroom and one bathroom. Two couches are placed again in the livingroom, which can be used as additional beds. Clean sheets and towels are always available. A washing machine is also installed in the WC of the apartment in the basement. A cleaning lady can be also reserved, if requested, in the middle of an accomodation period after appointment The house far away from the local road, and is therefore very quiet. I clear sky without any city lights can be usually observed at night. It is very peaceful, tastefully decorated and is ideal for families requesting calm and relaxing holidays combining them with some visits of local seightseeings and cultural activities.

The house lies in Lileika, a bay outside of Xiropigado. There is a nice and quite beach in just 7-8 minutes walk and great rocks and a gorge above the house.
We had a nice stay in August. The house has a nice athmosphere. The cat family living there, are so pretty. The location is beautifull and the beach below the house was the best we have found in this area, very quit and never crouded.
It was a perfect get away. Stunning views, simple, unpretentious. We had everything we needed for 4 children and 4 adults. 10 min walk down to the beach and a beautiful walk along the coast Astros
Me and my 5 friends had a great vacation. It’s a nice house with beautiful terrace. The house had everything we needed and has a beautiful local beach. To reach the house you need to drive an uphill, offroad street for 200m, so it’s good to have s skilled driver.
There was a time with water shortage but the owner was helpful and the problem got solved. Also, we couldn’t avoid some insects in our apartment. But very cute were the cats that we’re around our house and chilling with us.
The most I enjoyed were our meals on the terrace with beautiful view.
This is a perfect holiday home for a family group. There was rooms for everyone and plenty of bathrooms. The welcome breeze off the mountains, the owners advice on keeping windows and shutters closed in the day, and the floor fans absolutely did the job of keeping us comfortable in 38C heat. Noisy air con was not needed. We loved the spaces to eat outside, always a shady spot when you needed it. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach at dawn and dusk. We drove out to visit other beaches for lunches & more swims. Visited Nafplio twice & Epidavaros Theatre & Museum but mostly relaxed on beaches ( lots of useful beach paraphernalia available) & ate at 'home'. Michalis & Jannis were available by phone for any issues; broken lights & fan were sorted promptly. Some great instructions supplied including the video to find the remote road. We would highly recommend this beautiful, rustic, uniquely Greek property. Especially enjoyed with a cold beer on the patio under the amazing stars watching the geckos.
Schönes altes greichisches Steinhaus , tolle Lage … mitten in Natur … Anfahrt etwas abenteuerlich. Schöne Bucht in der Nähe . Gut ausgestattet , Heizung hat funktioniert, das war sehr gut .Sehr freundliche Kommunikation .

Le plus de cette maison: sa situation avec vue sur mer au milieu des oliviers avec un joli jardin avec terrasse. Les environs sont magnifiques! La maison est assez rustique. Une des chambres est plutôt une cabine ouverte sans porte sur le salon cuisine au rez de chaussée. Nous avons eu un soucis avec le chauffage mais le propriétaire était facilement joignable et a été très réactif pour régler le problème. Attention à l'itinéraire disponible sur le site: ce n'était pas le bon! Cela reste une belle expérience pour toute la famille !
Casa dividida en dos apartamentos totalmente equipados, ideal para dos parejas. Decoración sobria y con mucho gusto, madera y piedra, muy agradable y cómoda. Separada de una tranquila carretera 200 m por un camino de cemento y graba. La primera vez cuesta encontrar el camino porque apenas se ve. La casa es muy tranquila y tiene unas vistas excepcionales al mar. El anfitrión es muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar en cualquier momento que lo necesites. La opinión de todos ha sido unánime, le daríamos una puntuación de 10.
Très bon séjour au calme dans une maison pleine de charme (pierre / bois)
Nous avons passé 8 jours très sympa dans cette maison typique.
Elle est très calme et a une superbe vue sur la mer.
Le chemin n'est pas évident à trouver la 1ere fois et il ne faut pas avoir peur de monter sur un chemin de terre pas très large.
Hormis cela nous avons bcp aprécié le cadre.
Nous verrons de passer une semaine très agréable dans la maison de Michalis. Elle est bien située et permet de découvrir une partie du Péloponèse.
La vue sur mer est splendide ! Le calme permet le repos ...

Berge und Meer
Die Auffahrt zum Haus ist etwas schwierig zu finden und sehr eng. Das Haus hat eine schöne Lage. Von einer Terrasse Sicht aufs Meer, von der anderen Blick in die Berge. Die zwei Wohnungen sind nur über die Außentreppe verbunden. Es gibt in jeder Wohnung ein Schlafzimmer. Die restlichen 6 Schlafgelegenheiten sind in den 2 Wohnzimmern. Für uns zwei Personen war das kein Problem. In der Küche war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Wir mussten nur einige Dinge vorher reinigen. In Anbetracht der Temperaturen verbrachten wir schöne Stunden auf den Terrassen. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war gut und hilfreich.
The house is well located and has a very nice view on the sea. A very quiet beach is located a few minutes away. There is a lot to see in the region.
The terrace is great. We loved our stay
Très très belle maison, joli jardin, plusieurs terrasses avec vue sur montagne ou mer.
Belle plage très peu fréquente à 10 min de marche, retour un peu plus longue car çà monte. Difficile a trouver si pas de description exacte. Monte en voiture un peu raide. Petit problème avec frigo solutionne très réactif. Seul bémol : La description des couchage et lit n’était pas très clair: il existe que une véritable chambre avec porte par étage. Dans l'appartement en bas les deux lits sont séparés d'un rideau du séjour et cuisine Dans l'appartement il y a que un véritable lit double et deux supplémentaires simples se trouvent sur le les canapés du séjour. Certes il peut contenir 10 couchages, mais que 6 véritable lits, la précision en amont évitera des déceptions. Sinon nous avons passe un très belle séjour, avec la beauté des veilles pierres, et la joli terasse. Bon rapport qualité / prix.
a beautiful traditional house, in a calm area and still next to a perfect beach, perfect for people looking for a relaxing time in the middle of nature.
Tolles Haus in idyllischer Lage ( Auto dringend vonnöten). 600 m bergab zum Meer - super Strand, glasklares Wasser. Das Haus hat zum Runterkühlen Ventilatoren. WIFI funktioniert prima. Kontakt mit dem Vermieter klasse. Eine erholsame und sehr ruhige Location.

einsames Ferienhaus
Haus sehr schön. Die Betten allerdings feucht und die Wasserpumpe sehr laut, direkt neben dem Schlafzimmer.
Auffahrt schwierig. Es war auch nicht ersichtlich, dass das Haus sehr weit ausserhalb liegt

Exactement ce que nous cherchions .
Merci pour ce petit sejour . Calme , soleil , magnifique vue sur la mer ( dommage les fils électriques ! ) les maisons sont propres , bien équipées ,on s'y sent un peu comme chez nous .... Le seul bémol est peut être un problème de pression avec l'eau . Sinon vraiment , je recommande à toute les personnes souhaitant visiter le peloponnese . Nous n'avons pas eu la chance de rencontrer michalis alors , merci à lui . Florence , Axel , Robin , tom , Sukie , Noah , Luke

Quiet location in the nature with sea view
The traditional house is a bit outside the village in the mountains with a nice terrace with sea view. It is calm and provided with everything you need. We really had a relaxed stay there. Communication went without any problems.

Maison avec beaucoup de charme, proche de la montagne et avec une vue sur la mer.
La plage quasi sauvage est accessible à pied.
Dans les environs, les villes de Nauplie et Astros sont accessibles pour passer une agréable soirée.
Attention, pas de climatisation, donc au mois d'août c'est chaud (mais il y a des ventilateurs efficaces).

superbe maison bien placée
La maison de Michalis est très agréable. Superbe vue sur la montagne et la mer. Grande terrasse à l'ombre le matin et le soir pour manger au son des cygales. Il fait un peu chaud dans la maison mais la multitude des ventilateurs rend la température tout à fait acceptable. Maison très bien placée pour les plages et les visites : Oympie, Nauplie, Mycène, Mystra,.villages d'Arcadie... On recommande vivement !

Why they chose this property
It is a house owned by our family for more than 30 years now. We use to spend weekends or several days there during different periods of the year and have a nice time together with friends and relatives there. We would like that all our guests get this warm and comforable feeling that we have, when staying in our house.
What makes this property unique
Very calm and quiet, tastefully decorated, close to several archeological sites and landmarks/cities worth of visiting (city of Navplion, archeological cite of Mycenae, ancient theater of Epidaurus, byzantine church of Lukus), ideal for families requesting calm and relaxing holidays and being interested to learn some of the cultural heritage and traditional life in Peloponnese. A quiet and remote beach is also down to our house (it can be reached via a short trail about 10min from our house).
