4 New stylish villas located above Petalidi town, it is walkable however quite a challenge even at night when it’s hot. The road is a single track road.
The views from the villa are absolutely amazing and it’s beautiful to watch the sun rise (6.13a.m when we stayed!) You do lose the sun between 4.30-5.00 as it disappears behind the mountain.
Electric shutters on windows keep the house beautifully dark in the mornings and cool during the day, amazing sun shades on the back of villa, which was a huge benefit.
The local village is very Greek, there is a square, church a couple of small supermarkets, half a dozen restaurants and a pharmacy and doctor (should you need). There is a Lidl on the way from Kalamata.
The best local beach in our opinion is Velika which is about 15 mins away, free sun beds if you use the bar and very quiet when we visited. Gets quite wavy in the afternoons. Voidokilia is a beautiful beach also worth a drive although need to take a beach umbrella as no beds or umbrellas there.
Cleaner came every day, towels and the sheets changed more often than they needed to be. Owner & son are super nice and speak excellent English. If you want peace and quiet and to get away from it all you will love it. Listen out for the Jackals when the moon rises!
