Perfect holiday home in the centre of gorgeous Methoni

A traditional cottage 9 minutes walk to the beach and castle . The bedroom overlooking the garden has a single bed and a small double, the master bedroom ( sea facing ) has a double bed with a very comfortable mattress. There is space for a cot in either bedroom. The refurbished kitchen blends in with the 18'' thick stone walls and original features such as beamed ceilings and mosaic marble sink outside - great for preparing lunch in the sunshine. Grape vines shade the dining patio and a high stone wall makes 'Phoebe' a private little haven. There's a gated parking area which doubles as a secure play area. You can walk to the beach over the wild and beautiful cliff tops - or more directly through the village. Stroll past the bakery (the smell of fresh bread is irresistible); grab a pastry, and as your route is straight down the historic main street between the end of our little lane and the castle, you can also collect a coffee at Filio's and have breakfast on the beach with the clear waters of the Ionian Sea lapping at your toes. Methoni is an idyllic village which does not suffer from over-tourism and has been awarded the status of ' village of special interest '. You will find the locals here warm and welcoming. Their hospitality is generous and genuine and for a small place Methoni has several truly exceptional restaurants as well as great no-frills souvlaki grill shops with tables out on the street.
