Description The Odyssey: Messinia

Perched on a hillside and offering striking sea views, this villa is an ideal base for those looking for a serene coastal break. Panoramic vistas can be enjoyed from the open-plan living room’s wall of glass doors that seamlessly lead out onto a sun-drenched patio. Here, a private pool and ample outdoor seating beckon long hours soaking up the rays, before gathering for shaded alfresco meals under the pergola. When you’re ready to venture out, the village of Petalidi is a ten-minute drive away, where you’ll find tavernas, shops, the church of Saint Nikolaos and an inviting pebble beach.

Home truths:
*It's one of four homes on this hillside. Those looking for a more secluded stay may wish to look elsewhere.
*This home is laid out on a single level. It may be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
*There's no fence around the pool, so children should be minded when outside. The pool is open from April to October but check with your host about its availability outside this period.
*Due to the wooded environs, barbecues are not permitted.
*We recommend having a car here to get the most out of your stay. Private on-site parking is available and the village of Petalidi is a ten-minute drive where you'll find tavernas, cafés and shops.
