Description Constellation Spotting: Messinia

One of three neighbouring villas perched on the Peloponnese coastline, this is a home in which relaxation is made pleasingly simple.

During the long summer days, you can while away the hours splashing about in the swimming pool, reading a novel on one of the loungers or catching some shut-eye on the day bed. When the sun goes down, you can always head up to the balcony to sit in the hot tub and gaze out at the Ionian Sea. Inside, the home itself is soothingly decorated with cleansingly white walls, wooden floors, plenty of house plants and botanical artwork to match.

When you fancy an afternoon at the seaside, Stoupa Beach is just 800 metres away, and there's a cycle path that goes along the seafront to take you to the fishing village of Agios Nikolaos. If you head inland, there are hiking routes and natural attractions around the mountain of Profitis Ilias, too.

Home truths:
*The villa is spread over two levels and both the bedrooms are on the upper floor, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*There's a free parking space on the premises
*Daily cleaning and towel changes, linens changed every other day and a welcome basket containing wine and Champagne are included in the price
