Perfect holiday home in the centre of gorgeous Methoni

A traditional cottage 9 minutes walk to the beach and castle . The bedroom overlooking the garden has a single bed and a small double, the master bedroom ( sea facing ) has a double bed with a very comfortable mattress. There is space for a cot in either bedroom. The refurbished kitchen blends in with the 18'' thick stone walls and original features such as beamed ceilings and mosaic marble sink outside - great for preparing lunch in the sunshine. Grape vines shade the dining patio and a high stone wall makes 'Phoebe' a private little haven. There's a gated parking area which doubles as a secure play area. You can walk to the beach over the wild and beautiful cliff tops - or more directly through the village. Stroll past the bakery (the smell of fresh bread is irresistible); grab a pastry, and as your route is straight down the historic main street between the end of our little lane and the castle, you can also collect a coffee at Filio's and have breakfast on the beach with the clear waters of the Ionian Sea lapping at your toes. Methoni is an idyllic village which does not suffer from over-tourism and has been awarded the status of ' village of special interest '. You will find the locals here warm and welcoming. Their hospitality is generous and genuine and for a small place Methoni has several truly exceptional restaurants as well as great no-frills souvlaki grill shops with tables out on the street.

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful ❤️

Nigel and Fiona offer a well maintained property - everything works well! Clear instructions made it easy to find the house, local hidden nature and beauty spots. A really gorgeous and relatively so far untouristed part of Greece. We loved the peace, nature, sunshine and ease. Long may it last! Ancient historical sights were within easy reach - fascinating! We hope to be back for more exploring 😊

Very relaxed, cool in the heat

Villa Phoebe quickly felt like home to us. The bedrooms were quiet and cool at night with air conditioning, and the sitting room with overhead fan was cool and comfortable during the hot summer days. There were books for adults (all holiday houses should have books!), toys for the children to investigate and an outside shower, which was a huge hit. The walk through the village to the sea every day was good fun and gave us a great feel for the place. (Methoni is a real Greek town with a good, safe atmosphere and splendid beaches that are ideal for young children.) There wasn't a huge amount of space in the kitchen for storing or preparing food, but we ate out in the village most of the time so it didn't really matter and the kitchen provided everything we needed when we did eat at home. Also, we didn't actually use the top garden in the end, except for drying clothes - it just wasn't that practical with small children - but we used the terrace by the entrance a lot for breakfast and lunch, and that was fine. Nigel and Fiona were great hosts and we felt they really took us to their hearts, going out of their way to help us with our queries and arrange taxis etc., which we really appreciated. We'd recommend their properties to anyone wishing to stay in an authentic Greek village house with the assurance of English-speaking assistance when / if you need it. Thanks again guys and hopefully see you another time!

July 2018 - Great 2 week stay in traditonal greek villa

The villa was exactly what was required in a quiet setting yet only a very short distance to the local amenities and walking distance to the beach. The villa contained everything needed for a great stay. All was clean with plenty of linen and towels. The local neighbours were very friendly and welcoming. We were very familiar with the area and as usual we were not disappointed at any time during our stay. The food in Methoni is always one of the highlights of our holidays along with the scenary, warm seas and surrounding great beaches. I would recommend the area to anyone looking for a relaxing and low key holiday. .

Sich in Griechenland wie zu Hause fühlen!

wunderschönes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus mit perfekter Ausstattung zur Selbstversorgung, stimmungsvoller kleiner Garten, zentrale Lage, trotzdem sehr ruhig! Inmitten der Kleinstadt gelegen mit griechischen Nachbarn, sehr gute Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe, 5 Minuten zum Castle und zum Hafen/Strand! Sehr freundliche, unkomplizierte Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gern wieder!

Sehr gemütlich, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, viel Kinderspielzeug, Küche eher basic

Sehr fein waren die vielen Empfehlungen durch die Vermieter, sehr unkompliziert lief die ganze Kommunikation über E-Mail und Telefon. Küche hat leider sehr stark nach Putzmittel gerochen. Alles da, außer Auflagen für die Plastiksitze draußen. Zimmer sehr schön. Methoni selbst netter Ort, schöner Strand

An ideal arrangement!

We had a lovely time here in Aleiki Villa, myself and my two boys here, with my parents next to us in Villa Phoebe. An ideal arrangement ! We spent many lazy sunny days between the garden, the beaches and the local restaurants and cafes. Greece has been a revelation and I don't doubt that we will be back. Our picks are the small beach past the campsite and two restaurants Andreas' place round the corner and Palia Istoria on the street leading from the beach to the fort.

Heavenly

We echo everything the other reviewers have said about this lovely villa and its hospitable owners. Fiona and Nigel are the best hosts you could ask for, they know this area really well and are total experts at what they do. We felt at home here within ten minutes of arriving. The villa is charming, comfortable and very well equipped (as well as immaculately clean), the garden is perfect for lazy evenings, and the location is quiet but still central to all the goings on of the beautiful village. We were a couple and a friend seeking a peaceful retreat and an authentic experience and we couldn't have found anywhere better. This is a fantastic area to stay in, whether you want to hire a car and see the many incredible local sights (we recommend the stunning waterfalls at Polylimnos) or relax without a car and walk to everything you could possibly need for a peaceful holiday. The restaurants and beaches here are delightful and a showcase of Greece at its best. Almost loathe to be leave this review as we don't want Phoebe to get too booked up - we will be back!

Endless sandy beaches and calm seas

Coming to this part of Greece, Methoni, has been like discovering all earth's pleasures in one place ! How wonderful to find a thriving high street butchers, bakers, fish mongers, wonderful grocers store all so welcoming to the humble un-greek speaking tourist. We have adopted the local cuisine and eaten so well. The endless sandy beaches and calm seas have been a wonder indeed to two small energetic boys. And when we have felt like a trip to paradise Voidokilia beach and fresh water lagoon have provided pleasures that will stay with us long after our return to England - oh to see it at migration time! For me the abundant insect life has been fascinating. So Nigel and Fiona thank you for letting us stay. It really has been wonderful and we fear we may be back !! PS a couple of strong recommendations : Kastros restaurant on the corner of the castle is simply wonderful. Really great home cooked Greek food all locally sourced ( including VERY local wine ) absolutely charming service and with a few creative twists. Do go, we loved it. Also the nearer of the two butchers does the most sublime hog roast on Saturday mornings ( 3 whole pigs ) not to be missed.

Traditional village house in traditional village

Pheobe is a very homely stone house with all the comforts we needed, without being over-the-top in terms of luxury trimmings. The garden is very pretty and private for breakfast or evening meal, with both sunshine and shade and the seemingly constant buzz of cicadas. For our family (two teenage daughters) the location was perfect. We like to be in among the villagers and able to easily walk everywhere. There is a permanent population in Methoni so even out of season there would be a good bar and restaurant nearby and an interesting flow of locals to and fro along the small main street. It's not a picture perfect place, it doesn't have fancy shops, but it's real! Old men watching the world go by as they flick their worry beads, women practising traditional dancing in a village hall, an open air movie night for the kids... In summer the choice of tavernas and beach bars was really good and everyone friendly - we ended up eating out pretty much all the time because of the great prices and variety. The main square and beach are an easy stroll from Pheobe, as is the vast castle with its wild interior. The beach may not be the best ever but the water is beautiful and as you swim you have stunning views of mountains and stylish boats moored off. The 'tourists' are mainly Greek families (of all ages) so the atmosphere is lively but appealingly low key. Fiona and Nigel are very fond of their Greek neighbours and lifestyle and gave us plenty of useful and enthusiastic advice as well as thoughtful extras like home grown oil and blueberries. Thank you both so much! We will definitely come back.

Perfect Family Holiday Rental!

Our family spent three and a half weeks in Greece. We spent the first two in Nigel and Fiona’s villas in Methoni and we spent the last week at their place in Gialova. Each of the locations was wonderful. The accommodations were even nicer than the pictures convey, they were extremely clean, and well-stocked. Furthermore, Nigel and Fiona were glad to provide everything we needed from DVDs for our kids (and the villas were great for kids with plenty of room) to tips about sites to see to advice on the best boat rentals and most beautiful beaches to explore. The location of the villas is also perfect—we loved exploring the Peloponnese from Methoni and Gialova. These villas—and their gracious owners—helped make for a perfect holiday for our family.

Parfaits !

Beautiful days in a beautiful house in a beautiful town in a beautiful…country ! Chagall, Grisette et Marguerite, les 3 chats du voisinage, seront les meilleurs temoins de notre voluptueux bonheur dans cet endroit paradisiaque. En arrivant, nous avons trouvé une maison jolie et bien pratique, avec, sur le chemin de la mer, plein de commerçants sympas. Les propriétaires ont été discrets et serviables, souriants et accomodants. Parfaits ! J'espère que noue aurons la chance de revenir encore et encore. Merci pour tout. Et n’oubliez pas quelques croquettes et du lait (écrémé ) pour les chats. Ils se laisseront bien apprivoiser un jour ….

At the beach every day

We enjoyed our stay at your beautiful house very much for our small family ( we and our son 2 years ) It was the first holiday for the two of us in which we are at the beach every day. The landscape around with its marvellous beaches is a dream. We spent our evenings grilling fish and meat on the cosy terrace and garden. Our son liked the thousands of different toys and of course the DVD collection very much. Thanks for that. And thank you very much for the olive oil and feta . Both were great.

A wonderful two weeks.

The house was extremely comfortable and well designed. The air conditioning in the bedrooms excellent. Nigel and Fiona were kind and helpful and it was delightful to meet them. The garden is really beautiful, shade and sun in just the right places – the aubergines were almost ready for harvesting when we left and we sampled the abundant supply of grapes. We travelled to Olympia one day – the coast road was interesting for the two hours driving – the site has many trees providing shade – the archaeological remains and the athletic stadium were simply stunning – also at Ancient Messina where we ate at a small tavern overlooking the site in the mountains. There are many good taverns in Methoni, we would particularly recommend Kastro’s where the host Adam, made us very welcome. We took a boat trip to Sapienza – strongly recommended – the boatman took us walking in the forest we met wild goats and swam off a tiny white sand beach in the most perfect sea ! A wonderful two weeks.

A very nice week.

Dimanche 19 Juillet 2009 A very nice week. We love this house. We could live here. And the garden. Methoni is a pleasant village and the castel is very beautiful. The life is sweet here. One perfect walk in this very nice place : a nice old castle, a beautiful beach which is accessible by foot, some typical tavernas with authentic Greek food, a house which is so perfectly in agreement with our taste, a wonderful garden. We are now leaving for our second week in Tolo close to Napflio, a little bit cautious… are we going to appreciate our new house ( certainly not as much as this one ) ? This is one of the best places where we have been for our holidays. We will certainly come back one day.

Our holiday in Methoni

we had an awesome holiday here, the house is so cute with wooden beams and old shutters and a gorgeous little garden. we used to get up every morning and walk through the village which is nice and old-fashioned with a few tourists but not many, and get to the beach in about five mins. the beaches are really long with hardly any people (can you tell we were desperate for peace and quiet!) and the sea is lovely! in the next town along there is also an amazing beach almost enclosed in a circular bay, which makes the sea really calm and peaceful - we went there loads. and we found a couple of yummy restaurants too, although we almost overdosed on greek salad, but it is hard to resist! would defo recommend the place, we're already thinking about next year....
