Vacation rentals in Chelonaria

We spent two weeks in this beautiful spacious bungalow. It is a spacious house that has a luxury bathroom and a kitchen that has all the necessary appliances. All rooms are equipped with well-functioning air conditioning should it get too hot. Especially the spacious terrace with various places to sit or lie down with a full view of the sea is wonderful. On warm days, it stayed nice and cool there and you could enjoy the sound of the waves and the birds. The beach is only 40 meters walk and was wonderfully quiet in May/June. In the village you can use many nice restaurants within walking distance and there is a supermarket and bakery around the corner. We also greatly appreciated the service by Machi, who takes care of all current affairs. She was able to answer all our questions and was very helpful.

We had three great days in this beautiful region. Our arrival was enhanced with a nice presentation of the apartment with great kindness, which is very appreciated. The location is very quiet, the car is parked in front of the house, terrace for meals, spacious and comfortable interior, very close market and beach too. We would recommend it without hesitation. Thank you Maria…

Ioannis's house is a dream! It is beautiful, spacious, clean and well-equipped. It also has great character. We really loved it. The pool is a delight, and there are beaches a short walk away, including a great beach with a small beach bar. The location is lovely, and the views over the Gulf of Messene are breathtaking. It is in a quiet place, so a car is essential, but there are excellent restaurants and shops within a short drive. We were welcomed by Marios, who was wonderfully helpful throughout our stay. Andriana, who changed the beds, was also really nice. Our group included a granny, five adults and two children (4 and 7.) We all had the most wonderful holiday and would certainly go back.

Tucked away in the village but close to shops and bus route. Beautifully presented accommodation with a lovely garden and bonus orange trees - fresh, tasty juice every morning! Everything we needed was in the property and Gill and Mick across the road were so friendly and helpful it really felt like a home from home. Do pack with space to spare as Gill's shop is packed with her wonderful, original artwork - if only we could have brought home more - she captures Greece so well. local shops and eateries are in the village and again so friendly and prices comparable with the supermarket so do shop local. Rosé wine a speciality of the area so we tried a few, the Bio-wine at the supermarket one of the better low priced ones. Good walks to the nearby beaches and Koroni walk also a highlight, and the town well worth the three visits we made. We were able to use the bus a lot, cheap but high quality and really helpful in getting us to the right stops. We will be back, car to see more next time

Fabulous villa with wonderful terrace overlooking the clean sandy beach and inviting sea. Very comfortable furnishings and beds, immaculately clean and tidy. A stylish retreat that will linger in the memory. Slightly more difficult to find than expected, but easy once you know how. Great food options in both Finikounda (Elena) and Methoni (To Kastro, Klimataria, Sapientza), but you need a car to reach them.

Great place, amazing view, you can eat on balcony:-). Really worth it. Thank you.

Atypical accommodation, in a pretty space, with a pretty beach at the end of the olive orchard. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you again

We were planning a tour of the Southern Peloponnese and needed somewhere to stay for a few days in the Messinia Area. We looked at loads of places to stay and kept coming back to Athena minimal house so we booked it. And what a great decision it was! The first floor apartment was scrupulously clean and well presented with everything you need. The scenic view across the bay only improves as dusk develops and we loved sitting on the spacious terrace eating and watching the colours change. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We wished we could have stayed for 3 weeks, not 3 nights. We had very helpful and friendly instructions from our host and accessing the apartment was simple. Parking was provided and very helpful, but it's a tight space. Plenty of places to eat in Petalidi very close by. If you're looking for a place in busy metropolitan area, this isn't it however. We used it as a base for visiting Koroni, Voidokilia Beach, Pylos and Nestor's Palace. Can't wait to return.
