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 property and the house are very charming; after a hot exploring the villa was a little oasis of calm and beauty. The views from the balcony in the morning made it hard to leave! The house is decorated in a very warm style--it is not all from Ikea like so many other rental houses! I cannot recommend it enough. Sonia provided so many resources at the house of things to do in the area we easily could have stayed another week. ##### Christopher M.

It's very comfortable, excellent air-conditioning in the bedrooms, lots of lovely places to sit and relax by the pool or on the balcony. Pool is a good size - big enough for teenagers to swim and enjoy themselves. There was lots of useful information in the villa and tips for interesting days out. We particularly enjoyed exploring and eating in the mountain villages. Sonia was very easy to communicate with and full of advice. We'd love to come back! ##### Frances B.

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. ##### Thomas C. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ditte M. 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic vacation in Villa To Kyma Villa To Kyma is a very nice two stories house and can easily accommodate 6 people. We passed a wonderful week in the house and in Stoupa. The house is placed next to a beautiful olive plantation and is very private. The pool is fantastic, and kept very clean. Our daughters and we spent quite a lot of time there :) In the evenings, we very much enjoyed watching spectacular sunsets over Stoupa, with a view of the sea and the mountains, from the balcony. The location is very convenient, only a few minutes drive from "downtown" Stoupa with its beaches, cafés and restaurants. Sonia is the greatest of hosts, always taking time to answer any questions one might have or advise on things to do in the area and beyond. I don't think we would have discovered as much of the area and gotten as much out of our trip without her suggestions. To summarise, we would warmly recommend Villa To Kyma if you are looking to rent a house in Stoupa. ##### Ditte M.

A good-size pool (and a daily unobtrusive check) was a popular item, even though the weather and water was a tad cool.

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. ##### KAREN B.

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. ##### Jonathan C.

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! ##### Gillian N.

Das Haus hat durch das besondere Landhausambiente großen Charme, das Grundstück und der Pool sind sehr schön angelegt und uneinsehbar, die Besitzerin gibt sich sehr viel Mühe mit schriftlichen Tipps und viel Lektüre zur Region, die Küche ist schon etwas älter aber gut ausgestattet. Leider hört man etwas den Verkehr der angrenzenden Straße (das kostet einen Punkt), wir haben uns trotzdem sehr wohl gefühlt. ##### Stephan S.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard P. 21 Jul 2018 #### 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. ##### Richard P.

Wir waren zu fünf Erwachsenen als Familie in Stoupa und hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit. Das Haus ist schön und gut ausgestattet, der Pool ist super! Die Tavernen in Stoupa sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen und haben einen tollen Blick. Wir haben ausgezeichnet gegessen. Insgesamt ein absolut empfehlenswerter Urlaub in der Villa to Kyma! ##### Barbara B.

People of this area are extraordinarily welcoming and one reason why we had such a delightful time. The villa itself was perfect for us and our two teenagers with plenty of room inside and out for everyone to chill out, but cosy in evening around the open fire as it was quite cool in the evenings. It was a wonderfully relaxing 10 days and we'd highly recommend both the villa and the area. ##### Mitra P. Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2018
