Is this your kind of holiday? Maybe we can tell you why we like Villa To Kyma and it's location in Stoupa so much. We wanted to be somewhere where we could experience the feeling of freedom and authenticity. Being in an olive grove in a house built of natural stone was a good start. The view added the final touch. Of course we also wanted to enjoy some of the village life without sitting in a car too long. The beach is close by. Our children are teenagers and they can go to the beach and into town on their own. We like Stoupa, and also Agios Nikolaos, for the scenery and the friendly Greek people, especially to children. The towns are lively. They attract families, sun lovers, hikers, pensioners etc from various nationalities, including Greeks themselves. English is spoken everywhere in Stoupa. We have tried to equip the villa in such a way as to make your holiday enjoyable and to make you feel at home. And we are very interested in hearing your reactions!

The villa is listed with the Greek National Tourist Organisation: MHTE 1249K91000268501. Tax is included in any prices mentioned.

A slice of heaven
The villa is glorious, peaceful, beautifully situated with sea views from the upstairs balcony. If feels like a real home away from home (with a frequently visiting cat to feed!) and the pool was just divine. Plenty of interesting sites to visit and wonderful choice of dining experiences. An absolutely joy!

The first 2022 booking
A top property, well-equipped, well-loved with everything in working order. A good-size pool (and a daily unobtrusive check) was a popular item, even though the weather and water was a tad cool. Set in olive groves with the nearest neighbour way out of sight children could scream in the pool without disturbing anyone. With a lovely village and beach just a short walk away and places to visit without spending hours in the car, this is a top spot for a family holiday.

Paradise found
Communication was unbelievably quick and responsive. Property was extremely well stocked and provided great resources on things to do locally. Everything was as advertised and as per photos and better. The house and pool were immaculate. Many great beaches were nearby and restaurants in Kardymili were varied and quite inexpensive. This is a great base to tour the Mani and lower peninsula. I recommend a small car the driving up into the mountain villages. People were most friendly and glad to see tourists. The appointments inside and outside the house were unique and very well though out. Views from the upstairs patio were expansive and sundowns were magnificent. Great supermarkets, gas stations etc all very close by. Your could not find a better house in this area.

Lovely villa in a great location
We really enjoyed our stay at To Kyma and loved the Mani. The villa is really private and has every facility for a really enjoyable holiday. The pool was superb. The owner was really helpful and informative and the welcome pack and all the little touches provided were very much appreciated. There are so many places to visit in the Mani. We especially loved Areopoli, Itylo, Kastania, Vathia and will be back to explore more. Stoupa was a bit too crowded for us but we enjoyed the beach at the far southern end and the toasted baguettes at the self service little cafe were great.

Lovely homely villa, perfectly situated, with superb pool and gardens
We’re a family of four with grown-up children (20 and 18), just back from a wonderful week at Villa To Kyma. The property is set in beautiful gardens with a stunning pool area. The interior is homely and comfortable, with stylish and original decorative touches. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. From the upstairs balcony the views are amazing at any time, but particularly in the evening as the sun sets over the Messenian peninsula. One thing I would say worth a special mention is the wealth of information on a huge variety of topics, provided in the property; most of it personally collected or produced by the owners. This provided inspiration and practical guidance to really help us get the most from our holiday. Sonia also provided additional information and ideas by personal email. It’s clear that she and her family have a great passion for and knowledge of the area. It was our first trip to the Mani, and we fell in love with it - we’re already plotting how we can get back there as soon as possible. The combination of beautiful coastline, picturesque villages, historical sites and a rugged, spectacular inland mountain landscape makes for a great combination. In one of the many highlights of our trip, my son and I got up early to avoid the heat and went for an unforgettable hike and scramble round the stunning Viros Gorge. Within an hour in any direction you can reach a hugely varied area with natural beauty and historical sites. The setting and surroundings of the villa with its wonderful garden and pool also mean that you can of course simply stay put and relax! The villa is also situated really well to enjoy local beach / taverna life. It’s about a 15 minute walk into Stoupa, a lively resort with a wide range of tavernas and restaurants. Within a couple of minutes drive you can reach a superb supermarket and bakery. About 10 minutes drive takes you to Agios Nikolaos, a lovely fishing village, or in the opposite direction, charming and genteel Kardamyli. All in all would recommend without hesitation. Thanks again Sonia, we had a fantastic and memorable family holiday. Jonathan, Rachael, Holly and George Cook.

You are in for a treat!
We had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful villa. It is set in a pretty olive grove. Very private garden/pool area. The villa is spacious and has wonderful views to the sea! (It is about 15/20 minute walk into the village of Stoupa. It is the perfect position to explore the coast around this area. Many little beaches with crystal clear water, and so many Tavernas, and restaurants nearby. We had a fantastic week here! And has a very special feel - home from home - you will be pleased you came here!! All the best - Felicity

Lovely rustic villa in beautiful olive grove setting
We had a super holiday, the villa and pool are fab, villa is full of character. Stoupa beaches are lovely. Stoupa itself is not too spoilt, but still plenty of good tavernas and bars, average age of holidaymaker is quite high in September, maybe not too much nightlife for the youngsters!

Relaxing summer break
We had a wonderful hot week here. A first visit to the area for us but not the last. The villa was lovely- great pool, lovely location and wonderful views from the first floor balcony over the sea and the coastline- great sunsets. Stoupa is a gem- lovely resort with plentiful restaurants and good for vegetarians- always something on the menu. The staff at all local restaurants were very friendly and helpful. The beach at Kalogria is wonderful, crystal clear water. The guide books say that the water is cold because of being fed by natural cold springs but if you are used to swimming in the UK coastal waters as we are, it is certainly not cold. It felt very safe to swim at Kalogria and the views back to the mountains from the sea are truly stunning. A lovely area- there was so much to do and see but since it was so hot we mostly stayed local. There were many very helpful books on Greece and the area in the villa. The villa itself is very private and peaceful (once you have mentally tuned out from the sound of the cicadas) and is thoroughly recommended. We would certainly love to return.
