Summary:
Once upon a time, there was an imposing cobble tower in the heart of the picturesque Messinian Bay.
The tower was just 1km away from the beach, hidden amidst olive groves, and had a pretty garden for guests to relax. There were wonderful places to shop, dine or go out within a radius of 1km, and the bustling city of Kalamata was just 10km away.
The tower was a place of peace and tranquillity, where guests could escape the noise of the world outside and appreciate the beauty around them.

The Space:
Nestled amidst the olive trees on the hill of Mikri Mantineia, just 10km southeast of Kalamata in Messenian Mani, stands a magnificent stone tower. It's a short 10-minute walk from the renowned pebble beach of Mikri Mantineia, which has been awarded a blue flag for its crystal clear waters.

The tower boasts a splendid architectural structure and decoration, and is surrounded by a lush garden full of fruits and vegetables for guests to enjoy. Inside, guests will find a traditionally decorated living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining table, and a bathroom. An internal stone staircase leads to three spacious and bright bedrooms and a second bathroom, all furnished and decorated with attention to detail.

Outside, the colourful garden provides a refreshing retreat perfect for relaxation or reading a favourite book. Guests are welcome to pick fruits from the trees in the garden, which can be used to prepare meals with vegetables harvested from the garden and cooked on the barbecue.

This tower is the perfect combination of hospitality and tradition, offering guests an authentic Greek experience in a breathtaking location.

Guest Access:
Guests will have complete and exclusive access to all areas of the house during their stay.
Additionally, the stone tower features a private pool for guests to enjoy. Surrounded by the lush garden, the pool provides a refreshing escape from the warm Mediterranean sun. Guests can take a dip in the pool, lounge on the sunbeds, or simply soak up the serene atmosphere of the garden. With the pool and the beautiful surroundings, guests will truly feel like they're in their own private oasis.
