Vacation rentals in Samiko

Mano’s responsiveness and help was remarkable. The house is quite comfortable for up to 8 people. It has everything you want and makes you feel like home! The only two things worth mentioning are: 1) There are a lot of mosquitoes in the area, making it difficult to enjoy the fantastic yard of the house and discouraging everyone needing to go outside for any reason. Having equipped the house with both inside and outside mosquitoes repellents would be a quite important “plus”. 2) The yard is not fully fenced in, so if someone has a dog that tends to wander or does not have good recall, they can easily get outside of the premises of the house.

We had a wonderful time at Elia House! The house was spotless, very neat and exactly as shown in the photos, modern and comfortable. From the very beginning, we felt at home. The location is very convenient for excursions in the area and is also next to the beach that is accessible on foot and is all sandy. We visited the beach, Ancient Olympia, which is very close, we went for a walk in Kaiafas and enjoyed nature. There are also several villages and taverns for nice food and relaxation in the surrounding area. Georgia, the hostess, was very friendly and helpful as she was always willing to help us with whatever we needed. In general, it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely go again since it is only 3 hours from Athens. We recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet and beautiful stay in Ilia and to visit Ancient Olympia.

The apartment at the (raised) ground floor was very spacious and clean, with all possible amenities. The bedrooms in particular were very large with comfortable beds. The building was surrounded by lawned garden and olive groves, offering privacy and relaxation. Greg even allowed us to use the stone-built barbecue as an extra treat. Very highly recommended!

The apartment belongs to the beautiful house with garden, which is inhabited by Catherine and her family. The rooms are large and shady, in front of the apartment you can sit well, use a grill and outdoor shower. The famous sunset can be seen through the bushes. The beach is within walking distance: a beautiful bay with loungers and umbrellas, we paid for them by buying drinks and were highly satisfied. The much larger beach can be reached by wading through a shallow river. There was plenty of space there (outside the actual season!!!)- Umbrellas and loungers, but only as an offer for the guests of the large hotel. For shopping and dining, you need a car. Olympia is of particular tourist interest - 30 minutes away by car. We found what we were looking for at Catherine's: quiet, well-kept surroundings, extremely warm hospitality. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We had a lovely stay! The garden around the accommodation was very large, perfect for quiet relaxation. The accommodation was very good too, it has everything you need for a short stay in the area :) Léa was also very responsive by message to make our stay enjoyable :)

Beautiful quiet place with magnificent views of the hills. Spacious and tidy house. Great, very responsive hosts. If you have enough of the city and you are looking for tranquility, this is the place to come:)

Absolutely unforgettable stay! The photos truly don’t capture the breathtaking beauty of this place — it’s even more stunning in person. Waking up each morning to the serene sights and sounds of nature was nothing short of magical. The peaceful atmosphere made it incredibly easy to unwind and disconnect. Banana Beach is just a quick 5-minute drive away, with several other beautiful beaches nearby as well. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore, there’s no shortage of beach bars to enjoy. The central market is only 2 minutes away and has everything you could possibly need. Our host was exceptional — she responded promptly to all our messages and kindly accommodated an early check-in due to our flight schedule. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel instantly at home. This Airbnb was more than just a place to stay — it was an experience I’ll never forget.

Kostas accommodation is just perfect for a short stay in Olympia. Everything within walking distance. We particularly liked that there are two great restaurants right at the property and you - although quietly located - are only one street away from the main road. So you could go for a nice stroll in the evening after the bus tourists were gone. Kostas greeted us personally, assigned us a parking space and is super friendly. He gives good tips for exploring or can tell you Greek history worth knowing. This saved us from having to hire a guide at the excavation site. In addition, parking on the street is super safe even with luggage in the car. Absolutely recommended accommodation. Thank you Kostas!
