We had a truly wonderful holiday here with plenty of space for us all and all the facilities we needed. The views were stunning and so pretty in the evening watching the sunset and the lights of Kalamata. The little village was an easy stroll for a meal at one of the three tavernas but we mostly cooked at the villa including a couple of barbecues.We visited the beaches, Kytries and Kalamata by car as they were all close by. Would love to return one day! ##### karen e. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### terry q.

You are definitely better off having a car but there are three tavernas in walking distance and taxis are easy to book. The pool is a really good size and plenty of sun loungers are provided. The villa is a little tricky to find from the coordinates but once you know the name it is easy. The beach nearby is lovely and the villa itself is as pictures. Views are absolutely stunning. Good wifi, plenty of kitchen utensils etc. for cooking and a lovely welcome pack was provided. Definitely recommend staying here. ##### Ciara R.

The house has an amazing view overlooking the bay, Kalamata and sunsets. House is clean and bathrooms are modern. The kitchen is a bit small for larger groups with just a half size dishwasher. Very friendly and helpful house manager (Georgious) who attended to any query promptly and a nice welcome kit in the fridge upon our arrival. Also lots of gear that could be used when going to the beach, eg sunchairs and umbrellas. A bit far to go to the closest supermarket. All in all a great week! ##### Philip S.

This was possible as nearly all rooms were big and nice. The terrace and the pool area was beautiful and the view were even better. Furthermore, whenever we needed a bit of help or advice we called Nicola and Georgios and they were very helpful. Be aware that there are 10 minutes drive to the beach - but on the other hand the view from the house were so nice it did not matter. One improvement area is the tools in the kitchen which are a bit small and few when you want to cook several dishes for 9 adults. ##### Ole S.

The rooms are big and clean, the hot water is plentiful, and the bathrooms are modern. The view over the pool to the sea is beautiful, and I think the pictures here undersell how nice it is. We had breakfast on the balcony every morning and had wine to watch the sunset each night and just couldn’t get enough of it. The pool is great as were the tavernas in the nearby village. Overall, we were really pleased with everything and we’d rent here again without hesitation. ##### Eric E. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe S.

Great relaxing stay, walking distance to village with friendly taverns, good food, Good size pool, well maintained, private location, not overlooked, short drive to beaches with bars etc, Villa is well stocked and clean. Great views, peaceful evenings. Had a refreshing break, sadly too short, highly recommendable. ##### Joe S. ### 8/10 Good #### Mark E. Jul 30, 2018 #### Stunning views from a spacious villa We enjoyed 11 days here with a group of 8 adults and 3 kids. The views across the ocean are stunning, and the villa was plenty spacious enough to accommodate our group. The pool was very well taken care of, which was a big attraction for both adults and kids. The decks are all large, and we ended up eating outside every night. We had a fantastic time here. The only reason I give it 4 out 5, instead of 5, is that a couple of the mattresses were not very comfortable and the wifi was spotty. We'd be more than happy to come back again. Kalamata is a great base for doing days trips in the Peloponnese. ##### Mark E. Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Les C. Jun 17, 2018 #### Great stay in Villa Elsie ! Great stay in Villa Elsie ! The villa is new, clean, very pleasant, offers many possibilities and with an amazing view over the Messenian Gulf. Terrasses with seaview and comfortable furniture at the pool, ground, and first floor. Lovely pool with seaview and barbecue. Climate control throughout the house. Ample and fully equipped kitchen (with cold beers and wine in the fridge on arrival day !). With room for over 10 people it was more than spacious enough for us (parents and 4 teenagers) but still very cosy. Close to Kalamata in complete rest but not lonely. Historic sites such as Mystras and Ithome at approx. 1 hour drive. The route to Mystras through the Taygetos mountans is really beautifull! Lovely beaches just down-hill (south of Akrogiali, 5 minutes drive) and in Stoupa (30 minutes by car). Many affordable restaurants and Greek taverns with good quality dishes for every taste. What else would one need for a very very nice and relaxing experience ! If we were to rank it on a review site, we would give 5 out of 5 stars ! Fam. Jan from Holland ##### Les C.

We are a family from the US, We stayed Villa Elsie 3 years ago. Had a great time then, and gain this year. Plenty of space, Enjoyed the evening walks to the restaurants in the village. We had a fantastic week. The facilities were great and it is very well maintained. The views are breathtaking. We had a relaxing week spending most of the time in the gorgeous pool. Perfect for a family holiday. The villa is situated in a really peaceful location, utterly tranquil. We enjoyed the evening walks to the village with its three equally good tavernas offering fantastic views across the gulf, perfect to go and watch the sunset. The local beaches and secluded coves are within easy reach. I would not hesitate in recommending Villa Elsie, perfect if you want to go and unwind. John S. ##### Joe S.

Sep 4, 2017 #### Super Villa in a stunning location Together my husband and I chose Villa Elsie for a special family holiday. It was everything we had hoped for and the whole family had the most wonderful time. The villa is amazing. Spacious and easily accommodated the 10 of us, age range 10 to 77! Fantastic views from all areas of the villa and a superb pool area which also suited everyone. At the end of our 2 week stay we were all sad to leave this beautiful villa and it's peaceful location. The housekeepers Pam and Gerry are lovely people and nothing was too much trouble. Just a note: We were surprised to find such a small kitchen and dishwasher in such a large and beautiful villa and one of the 2 bedrooms described as single beds was in fact bunk beds, but at least they are full size. My 2 youngest grandchildren were happy to share the room with bunk beds. We all had an amazing and memorable time. ##### Maureen C.

Aug 29, 2017 #### Excellent situated house in quiet area We spent a week in this very cosy house situated far enough from Kalamata in order for us to enjoy the silence of the greek countryside but still not too far to be able to take a short trip to the city if needed. The place was clean, pool was just the right size. The view of the see and the city was fantastic from the terrace and we enjoyed it every morning and evening before going to bed. ##### Mette C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalamata-Hotels-The-Westin-Resort.h3023827.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Levesque](https://www.expedia.ca/Riviere-Du-Loup-Hotels-Hotel-Levesque.h31942993.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel King Saron Club Marmara](https://www.expedia.ca/Loutraki-Agioi-Theodoroi-Hotels-Hotel-King-Saron.h3804645.Hotel-Information) > > [W San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-W-San-Francisco.h287112.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Niagara Falls/Fallsview](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Niagara-FallsFallsview.h19348.Hotel-Information) > > [Residencial Casa Linda](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Residencial-Casa-Linda.h3510684.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier Chateau Granville Hotel & Suites & Conf.
