Large and private beautiful space
I was not well at the time so my view may be a bit muted. Also, the weather was mixed....as it has been over Europe in this hottest summer ever. The pool and area was lovely with seating in shade available wherever the sun was during the day. The rooms were clean and neat with nothing more we could have wanted. It was an interesting/strange set up with the downstairs and upstairs being fully separated. This was not a problem for us, but we were surprised by it. The air conditioning worked efficiently and quietly. The road in front was quite noisy, but I think a by-pass looks likely to be open soon which should help this. Petalidi itself is easy to access and is a lovely little place. You can walk straight down to the sea from the property...not necessarily to swim, but beautiful views. Thanks to the owner for the information provided to us, and his advice. The rooms were c

Wonderful property
The property was big enough for family and friends to share together. The separate kitchens really help. Plenty of room to spread out. The pool is wonderful and refreshing. We recommend Peroulia Beach for a serviced and sandy beach. Very family friendly. This was one of the hosts recommendations. Vasilis was a great host who helped us get shrimp in Petalidi and also answered all our questions. He brought us a wonderful welcoming meals which was needed after a long day travel. This place is great, I highly recommend it.

Amazing stay!!
From the moment we arrived we felt at home and comfortable. Vasilis was there on arrival to greet and show us around, returning a little later on with a beautiful welcome dinner. The villa itself was amazing and perfectly laid out for our family, the pool kitchen was an additional bonus! The small swimming pool was fantastic for the babies. We also felt incredibly safe as the doors had a keypad code entry, which we thought was a fantastic idea! It was a lovely location and short distance to the local village, which had majority of our needs met. We also visited Vasilis’s cousin restaurant (around 15minute drive) food was exceptional! 100% recommend visiting. We had an amazing and relaxing stay and would 100% recommend for either a family or group of friends.

A fabulous holiday at an excellent residence and location
A magnificent house, fully equipped, spotless, exactly as described on vrbo's website. The host was always available, the fridge was full when we arrived and he offered us our first lunch with two traditional and delicious greek plates, moussaka and gemista (stuffed tomatoes and green peppers). He offered us tips for dinner, beaches, excursions in full detail. The location is quiet, the pools are a great asset and the pool area has everything that a holidaymaker needs. The beach is only 50 meters away. Other beaches are located very close to the house (walking distance and some are less than a 10-minute drive). A perfect residence for two families or a party of 10-12 people. Thanks for the hospitality! We will certainly return!

Amazing stay
All amenities to make our stay more than comfortable, both for adults as well as for children&toddlers, were provided. I can’t think of anything this beautiful villa was lacking. Fully equipped kitchens on both levels of the villa, as well as a 3rd one by the pool & bbq, which was extremely handy, along with the W.C. and shower by the pool. Amenities, linen and surrounding spaces were spotless, of good quality and well maintained. On the first day, we were greeted by the owner, Vassilis, offering us a delicious welcoming dinner. He was exceptionally welcoming, professional & discrete and made sure all our needs were met. Beautiful beaches and tons of historic places to visit in the area. We hope we will be able to come back again! Highly recommended!

Beautiful villa with breathtaking views
Wow what an amazing find! Vasilis provided first class customer service throughout the whole process from our first enquiry to meeting us on departure and sorting numerous taxis for us. Very responsive and helpful tips before our stay. The villa is spotlessly clean, it's split into two separate apartments which is great for large family groups or friends. The grounds are well manicured and spacious. We loved the pool area and outdoor barbecue. Vasilis provided an authentic Greek meal on our arrival and a stocked fridge which is a first for us and was truly appreciated. The local village is a 10 minute walk, there are a small number of taxis locally to get you around if you don't want to hire a car. Very reasonable to eat out locally. Thank you Vasilis for being a top class host, you are ausome!!

Fabulous Villa
Six of us (all adults) stayed for a fortnight in this beautiful villa. Vassillis was marvellous and helped us all so much, especially when one of our party needed medical treatment. The food that was left for our first night was AMAZING. Beer and wine in the fridge and all the essentials needed to start a great holiday. Also the lunch we had at the family taverna was also great, one of the best meals we had the whole holiday. The villa itself is great, we used the garden kitchen most of the time (a hob there would be really useful). The tomatoes and peppers from the garden were beautiful. We would definitely return and would recommend it 100%.

Extremely friendly and helpful host. Best equipped holiday home EVER.
The tone of the holiday was set by Vasilis' extremely prompt and friendly responses to my queries before we even arrived - sent some brilliant recommendations ahead of our trip. Vasilis was just as friendly in person and went totally out of his way to make our holiday special - he even drove all the way to the airport when I left my passport. THANK YOU SO MUCH! The house was just as in the photo but, more than that, was so well equipped. We wanted for nothing - had a packed fridge on arrival (including beer!) and we didn't even need to use the toiletries we had brought as those were provided. Our daughters were so excited about the games and inflatables that had been made available. It really did make the holiday so relaxing and special. The little town had all we needed; friendly people and a nice, local feeling without being too touristy. The Namaste bar had a nice vibe and GREAT music when they had a DJ. The food and view at O Vrachos were fantastic - highly recommend. Thanks again Vasilis, love the Wilsons!

Relaxing!
Fantastic property with a marvellous host, Vasilis. Always willing to help but totally non-intrusive, The welcome meal was so good we went to the taverna it came from later in the week and were not disappointed. The vegetables in the garden were delicious and in abundance, The two cycles provided were useful for shopping trips. Fresh fish from the village on the barbecue were superb! We had a wonderful, chilled out time. There were four of us including a teenage boy who is asking to go again soon! I cannot think of anything that was wrong -it was all brilliant. Highly recommend this property,

Everything works, house is nice and clean
We had a wonderful holiday at Friends and Family House on October. Although there were 12 people in our group, we had enough space and peace for all. House has two apartments, so it was good for us. Pools were clean and everything was in good condition. Owner keeps everything in in good shape, also guests. For example, we had a nice welcome dinner and enough food for next breakfast. We swam in the sea every morning and visited Petalidi village which has good services. Thank you Vasilis!

Perfect House - Perfect Host!
Just arrived back home from a fantastic weeks stay at this gorgeous property - Vasilis the owner is without doubt the best host I have ever experienced - the perfect blend of helpful without being ever present - he's simply a phonecall or a text away if needed. The chances are though once you have found your bearings then you'll need for nothing - The house has everything - superbly equipped through-out. Great for one big family or 2 separate families as each level of the house is fully self contained with its own sitting room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms (one with ensuite) and a family bathroom and all wonderfully clean. Outside is perfect - another kitchen for preparing drinks and food for the massive BBQ (buy some lamb chops from the butchers in town - very good) with a separate shower/toilet room by the pool area to save you going inside. 2 pools perfect for the adults and the little ones (we had a 2 year old in our party) - with seating area's that make the most of the sun and indeed the shady areas to cool off - all sourrounded by lovely gardens and a vegetable plot growing tomatoes, onions and aubergines for you to enjoy. If you want a relaxing holiday and to unwind then this is the place - you need to venture out if you don't want to. If you do then the village of Petalidi is a 10-15 min stroll away or a very short hop in a taxi (3 euro's) with a taxi rank in the village for your return... Its a charming village to, with plenty of restaurants, most of which centre around the square which comes alive with Greek families in the evenings. 50 Metres from the house is a pebble beach, great for an afternoon dip in the Med..... Not that we ventured away from the house much as it had all we needed to be able to soak up the sun and relax. Thanks again Vasilis we had a fantastic holiday......... Oh forgot too - he even has 2 bikes at the property, so if like us, you didn't hire a car (we got there by private transfer) these are perfect for those quick dashes for more beer/water from the supermarket...... Like I said.... you'll be hard pushed to find something you need at the house that Vasilis hasn't thought about.

AMAZING VILLA
My Family of 5 Adults and 2 children aged 3 and 1 have just returned from a 9 night stay at this amazing villa. From the first time I contacted Vasilis until the time we left the service we have received has been first class with prompt replies to all my queries and always on hand for any little questions we had during our stay. The villa itself is perfect for a family holiday with 2 separate units of accommodation which would also work wonderfully for 2 groups of friends travelling together. There are 2 double bedrooms on each floor and 2 bathrooms ,both floors have a fully fitted kitchen with dishwashers and a lovely lounge area with TV and a games counsel , there are also 2 washing machines . The villa was spotlessly clean. Downstairs there is also a separate outside kitchen with fridge/freezer and a dishwasher which is very useful when using the BBQ outside or for just making a snack. There is also a toilet and shower outside ideal for use when around the pool area. The 2 swimming pools were fantastic and the children's pool was ideal for our 2 tots being very shallow which meant they could get in and out as they please. The area outside is amazing and so well thought out it even had a small picnic type table that the 2 children could sit at by themselves to eat if they wanted too. There is a swing and slide also which our children loved in the beautiful gardens. It was lovely that there were toys and inflatable items for the pool for the children to play with and they had hours of fun soaking each other and everyone else with the water pistol. There is a vegetable plot from which you can pick anything that is ready and we enjoyed it all especially the most delicious cucumbers I have ever tasted, I bought one home, naughty I know!! The views of the sea and mountains from the villa are truly stunning. I would sincerely like to thank Vasilis, Hristos and George for their wonderful hospitality, you guys are amazing. I have to report that our 1 year old Daisy seems to have a little crush on you George as she keeps talking about you, it followed the night when we came to your beautiful taverna and you gave her a spoon then gave you a kiss when we left and she is normally very shy!!! We really hope to come and stay at your lovely villa next year. Best Wishes for the rest of your holiday season. Love Linda Kevin Louise Lewis Lucy Freddie and Baby Daisy x

Great spot, great hosts
Vasilis did a tremendous job of making us feel welcome. We arrived to a fridge with all the essentials stocked and two trays of food for lunch. The house was perfect for our needs - spacious, plenty of beds, very clean, good internet connection. We didn't make use of the pool, but the outside space was great. The town of Petalidi is a short walk away with a villagey feel and a couple of bars and restaurants. Everyone was very friendly. In short, highly recommend staying here.

Fantastic, relaxing holiday
A perfect venue for a relaxing holiday. The owners made us feel very welcome and were friendly and very responsive and helpful in addressing any questions we had. A delicious meal on arrival, was very much appreciated. The villa is very spacious and extremely well equipped. It is laid out as two self contained apartments but also includes an additional kitchen close to the bbq patio area which our group of 6 ( 3 couples ) prefered to use to prepare meals together. The property is located on the outskirts of Petalidi but is only a 15 min stroll ( turn left out of the main gate ) through the quiet bougainvillea and oleander lined side roads to the town where you can find bakeries, a butcher, fishmongers selling their daily catch, 3 very well stocked supermarkets, as well as many cafes / bars ( no need to drive to the large, well known chain supermarkets in Messene ) - not to mention the fresh veg you can pick from the villa's own veg patch. The large garden has comfortable seating and dining areas with beautiful views of the sea and mountains. The pebbly beach across the road is quiet ( we recommend taking water shoes to make getting in and out of the water easier ). Overall, highly recommended
