Family-friendly vacation rentals in Mani Peninsula

We loved our stay at George's place in Kardamyli. The views from the balconies, the comfortable beds and walking distance to the charming town were all pluses. George was easy to communicate with and his colleague met us at the unit to show us around when we arrived. The unit was well appointed and felt very private. Highly recommended.

Το σημείο είναι μαγικό! Αξίζει να ξυπνήσετε νωρίς για να απολαύσετε την Ανατολή, είναι το ιδανικό σημείο. Το σπίτι ήταν καθαρό, άνετο . Χρειάζεται συντήρηση όμως, έστω ένα καλό φρεσκάρισμα/ βάψιμο. Επίσης δεν έχει καθόλου σημα στην περιοχή γενικώς κ το Ίντερνετ χάνεται συχνά. Ο κύριος Γιώργος , εξυπηρετικός . Κατά τ αλλα μια όμορφη διαμονή 🙂

posizione incantevole vista mozzafiato,praticamente nell'acqua. casa fornita di ogni particolare terrazzo superattrezzato

An amazing castle like home over a very large olive gorge overlooking the ocean. Absolutely stunning scenery all around us. Home had all the amenities one would hope for and then some. Very large space for our family of 9. Pool and hot tub were a hit plus tons of games including foosball and ping ball. The upper deck was perfect for sunsets. And while we did not use they had this amazing wood fire BBQ and sitting area one could use. The location was great. We were basically on side of mountain in a secluded area but close enough to small villages and beaches. Lots of tavernas within 10 mins…4 tavernas within 1/4 mile (although 2 were closed due to slow season). Getting into Kalamata city center was about 25 mins and well worth it. Ann provided several suggestions on her Airbnb page. While there is taxi service i would highly recommend having your own vehicle Ann has a local host, Joanna, helping out and was super helpful and very responsive. Don’t hesitate to rent this place!

We had been travelling for 3 weeks and we arrived in Chrani, Peloponnese by bus very tired and looking for total relaxation for a good few days. We 100% achieved this. The view was stunning, the sea was flat like velvet and in the distance the beautiful mountains. The free umbrella’s & sun loungers on the beach a great add on & the peace and quiet was just what we needed. The sea is crystal clear & once in you don’t want to come out. The lady who cleaned was fabulous, changing sheets and towels/beach towels every 3 days, sweeping, changing bin bags & mopping everyday. She was truly a star. The other guests were people that have been coming to the same apartments for many years. Meeting friends they have met before. Very friendly, relaxed, chilled & highly recommend if you want to experience peace and quiet & beautiful scenery

What a pleasant stay with wonderful host. Georgia’s home provides all you need. The spa in the courtyard was enjoyed every night of our stay! Thank you.

Ο Σταύρος κατάφερε να μας κάνει να νιώσουμε σαν στο σπίτι μας όχι απλά το προτείνω αλλά αν τύχη θα ξαναπάω κιόλας

Great location with incredible views.

Fantastic experience at this location, the host were easy to communicate with and the rental was just as advertised, we had a wonderful time. They did little things that really stood out for us who travel the world a lot like having aluminum foil and Saran wrap, having Tupperware we could use and an ice pack in the freezer . We cook a lot when we travel and having a functioning kitchen is very important and they definitely had that. The gift of bananas and apples were quite tasty. there is even a nice chilled bottle of Chardonnay on the table waiting for us, but we don't drink. The dog and cats were very friendly and made our stay even more enjoyable. Perfect distance to the city and then away from all the noise. Don't forget to look for the sunset around evening time because it's quite beautiful. If we ever find ourselves on the west coast of Greece again you can believe that we will definitely rent from these guys again.

Sophie proactively told us we could leave after the checkout time on our last day. This was very helpful as the ferry did not leave until 130. Sophie also sent someone to meet us at the ferry and guide us to the house, which is very close to the waterfront. The house has a pleasant patio and friendly well fed cats. The kitchen was well stocked and included an espresso maker and espresso packets. Overall, well appointed accommodations in an excellent location with a great host.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au calme chez Ioannis qui nous a accueillis sur place. le site est exceptionnellement beau et la maison, très intime.

Anastasios's home was comfortable, with exquisite views, safe parking, a short drive to Gythio town and a range of sights and restaurants, but also walking distance to 2 great tavernas in the local village. His restaurant recommendations and suggestions for things to do were excellent. We would definitely love to visit again.

Το σπίτι της Μαρίας ήταν πολύ καθαρό και φιλόξενο. Όλα λειτουργούσαν πολύ καλά. Βρίσκεται σε όμορφη περιοχή λίγο πιο έξω από το κέντρο και έτσι μπορείς να παρκάρεις εύκολα. Για ένα ζευγάρι με αμάξι θεωρώ ότι είναι ό,τι πρέπει!

Beautiful house made out of rock in the heart of Taygetos' mountain. The nature around it is amazing and there are many pathways if you want to explore the mountain. Pantelis was a great host and the whole experience was amazing.

We absolutely loved our stay at Three Skylights. The house is so beautifully decorated and very well stocked. Views from the balcony across to the mountains and ocean are breathtaking and there are so many places to sit and relax it was hard to choose! The location of the house was a little further than we anticipated (a solid 10 minute drive up a very steep windy and narrow road) but the little bit of drive was definitely worth it for the serene location it offered. It is a tricky driveway for parking so be sure your hire car is not on the bulky side. Nancy and Irini were exceptionally accommodating and communicative. A little hiccup we had on arrival was easily solved thanks to Irini's help and local contacts. As cat lovers we fell in love with a couple of little of the feline residents and we were happy to fill their hungry bellies during our stay. The nearby town Paralia Tyrou has a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. Portofino bar at Tigani Beach was fave

2 semaines de vacances magiques au bord de l'eau. La maison est très fonctionnelle et la terrasse avec vue sur la mer est fantastique. Les hôtes sont très disponibles et nous ont proposés à plusieurs reprises des activités journalières ou des restaurants. Je recommande vivement cette adresse pour des vacances à Leonidio !

We had a wonderful stay here as a family of four. Our children spent most of the week in the pool! The views were absolutely stunning and the villa was clean and well equipped. Aircon was much appreciated too. Gail was an attentive host, quickly responding to messages I sent her and happy to answer any questions we had. We were very sad to have to leave at the end of the week!

The location is extraordinary - with a magnificent view over the sea and the surrounding hills. There is nothing around except a few cows, wild goats and some derelict stone stables. The house is about 15min drive from the nearest village (Potamos) throught a steep dirt/rocky road. Absolutely fine with a small SUV or regular car even if a few tricky bends on the way up when car is heavy loaded. Going up and down twice a day for shopping/beach outing is something to think about however. The house is well equipped and we had no issues at all with the solar power. The rooms are great, on different levels, each with their own terrace and feel very private. The plunge pool is lovely. The house gets sun from all sides through the day and it can get very hot - Stefano was kind to provide extra fans for us. 2 accesses to the sea from the house via a 20/30 min steep walk, - rocks, no sand. not for small kids but several A-mazing beaches on Kithira. Remote, beautiful, calm, super night skies.

Words can't describe this place and Dia our hostess. Before we got there, Dia went above and beyond to help us with our plans, both on our travel there and during our stay. From the minute we stepped in we felt right at home. Everything you need is there and the surroundings are simply magnificent. From the view from the apartment to the private beach below. It was everything we could ask for. A true paradise we would like to keep to ourselves for future trips.. and of course Dia who made our vacation even more enjoyable and made sure we have everything we need. Thank you Dia!

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche mit unseren 2 Kindern im Apartment von Efi. Die Lage ist wunderschön, Sonnenaufgang im Bett, absolute Ruhe, 10min zu Fuß zu einem wunderschönen Strand und toller Pool in der Anlage. Efi ist eine tolle Gastgeberin und war sehr zuvorkommend, der Service durch Ihre Haushälterin war toll. Ein absoluter Tip für Kletterer, die Klettergebiete von Leonidio sind in weniger als 15min zu erreichen. Vielen Dank, wir würden gerne wiederkommen!

We had an amazing stay. We had the ground floor apartment of a three storey property where Stathis family resides- even though this was the case, we had our own privacy to the grounds and the pool. The family were extremely lovely and we hardly saw them. The property was spotless and the grounds were extremely beautiful and peaceful with the fruit and herb trees surrounding the property. The kids had a great time in the pool. We loved our stay and we loved Kalamata!

We had a fabulous few days at the end of our road trip, a great place to relax. The location is fantastic, just a short walk away from the tavernas and shops. The apartment contained everything you could need including the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. The pool was warm, situated in a lovely well kept garden with beautiful lighting at night. We had a lovely welcome when we arrived and it was great knowing that Eleni was close by in case we needed anything - but we didn’t! Highly recommended. Greece at its best ❤️🇬🇷

In 63 years I have traveled extensively, in many countries, and this was overall the most beautiful surprise of any place my husband and I have rented. Our hosts, Vincent and Jean-Claude, were present, warm, generous and responsive, and the house and location are beyond magical. We will return every year, for certain.

What an incredible oasis! We stayed at Fenia’s with our family for a few days before we got married at Petra & Fos Boutique Hotel & Spa a couple minutes’ walk away. It was idyllic! We loved our little hideaway. Fenia and the local host Dimitra were lovely and very helpful. The house is spotless and the location spectacular. Dimitra was always there to help and provided us with some local treats on arrival “. It is useful to know that you need to tell the hosts in advance if you need linens on the sofa bed on the mezzanine as they aren’t readily available. A strange smell at some points during the stay and some electrical issues but honestly neither detracted from the stay. The pool is beyond perfect and we would love to come back again!! In fact, if we could buy our own exactly the same, we would :-)
