With it's various verandas it is perfect for stormy and rainy as well as for sunny and hot Mani days. The location is ideal for hiking and swimming, and many interesting sites and beautiful small villages within reach. Our hosts gave us a warm welcome, and with true philoxenia took very good care of us, giving kind and helpful advice were needed and many useful informations in due time. Calliope is the very best choice for Mani holidays. ##### MARTINA T.

The house is beautiful, with lots of seating areas, good sized bedrooms and a lovely garden and terraces. These combine great views of the sea and mountains, with sheltered places to eat and cook outside. The area of the Mani the house is in is dramatic and surprising, and Kiparissos is a great base to explore it all. Last but not least there are two delightful beaches within 5 minutes walk, both often deserted and with lovely clear water. We look forward to returning! ##### Jonathan B.

Mani is wild, beautiful and kiparissos and the house is very well situated. 2 very nice beaches at a walking distance, charming village of gerolimenas 10 mn driving. The house is charming, very well equiped, very clean and beds are very comfortable. The house is divided in 2 but having neighbours was not at all an issue. A lot of terraces in the house allowing to rest with wonderful views. We highly recommend this house, we thank a lot eleni for warm welcoming and hospitality and we hope to come back soon ! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan M. 5 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magnificent Retreat Eleni’s home was absolutely perfect for a relaxing vacation in rural Mani. Eleni was a most thoughtful hostess, providing us with supplies sufficient for several days as we were arriving late, including homemade olives, local wine, eggs and vegetables, and excellent suggestions for places to visit. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, spices and condiments which is unusual. The house and bedding were exceptionally clean, the beds very comfortable, and there were several comfortable sitting areas inside and outside. We particularly enjoyed doing yoga in the morning on the top deck. The location was excellent for exploring the Mani peninsula. Best of all it was within walking distance of 3 beautiful beaches. ##### Susan M.

The house is very Well conceived, so that all the Terraces / out spaces are so that you are always going to find a place with shadow and wind… You are 3 minutes from the beach (I mean 3 RÉAL minutes by foot,), with a sweet little path between olive trees and a beautiful stonewall…We were often alone on this beach in the middle of the summer holidays! A stunning walk or running way with beautiful views just coming left out of the house which leads you to another beautiful beach. Impossible to not talk about our guests, so adorables, caring and who leaved us beautiful local products : tomatoes (local tomatoes, WoW… not the one you know…), cucumbers, honey, marmelade, wine, ouzo, fresh water, fresh origano,…. I Know I Forget a lot, and I take the opportunity to thank them so Much… ##### Ariane D.

Zusätzlich hat Eleni noch ein Infobuch zusammengestellt. Darin sind die Strände in Laufdistanz sowie viele anderen Strände und Sehenswürdigkeiten erwähnt. Zudem hat sie uns Brot, Käse, Aufschnitt, Früchte und Gemüse, Honig, Oel und Wein bereitgestellt. Mega grosszügig! Wir waren zu viert und hatten also genug Platz. Das eine Zimmer (Büro) würde ich nicht unbedingt zum Schlafen empfehlen. Es ist ein 'Durchgangszimmer'. Die restlichen Zimmer (Doppelbetten) hatten eine Klimaanlage; sehr angenehm anfangs August. Auf den drei Terassen haben wir je nach Sonnenstand viele Stunden verbracht. Alles in allem hatten wir sehr erholsame, schöne Ferien.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nicola s. 5 Aug 2018 #### Living in the dream home Eleni’s home, Calliope, is just a stone jewel. The accuracy of every detail is astounding. The bedroom on the upper floor made me feel like staying on quarterdeck of a pirate ship. A huge, immense terrace dominating the blue sea of Kiparissos and thousands silver/green waving olive trees. The garden, contained by high strong wall is a private piece of heaven, all for you, on the earth. Beautiful gorgeous plants and beautiful flowers spreading a mix of dizzyngly seductive scent. The kitchen is fully equipped and every day one can choose a different table, or terrace where enjoy the supper. The short path to reach the small tiny beach is itself a very pleasant experience: a stroll that leads you to overlook the small bay. You won’t find any other tourists but a few locals or fishermen. And having every morning a friendly chat is priceless: once they have found out that you are Eleni’s guest, you are even more warmly welcomed. What to say more. After eighteen years I come in Mani I have found my retreat: I have spent two weeks out of time, out of the world. ##### nicola s. ---
