Old Stone House in olive grove with amazing views and infinity pool sleeps 10

In a stunning olive grove location with fantastic sea views, 45 minutes from Kalamata International Airport , a beautifully designed house, with a gorgeous infinity pool.

Completely secluded for getting away from it all and experiencing the real Greece, this old stone house has been renovated from top to bottom to create a designer house whilst keeping traditional touches.

The main house sleeps 6, in 3 large bedrooms each with private terrace. The master bedroom has a free-standing bath, ensuite shower room, and a 4 poster bed.

A small guest annex just below the pool sleeps a further 4 people in two large bedrooms with shower room.

Charles and Ellie our wonderful house managers live 10 minutes away and can give great tips on what to do and see to make your holiday truly memorable.

The unspoiled sandy beaches of this coast are 5 min down the hill in both directions. (There are 60k m of undeveloped beaches in 1 stretch alone here). A different beach for every day of the holiday!

The local market town 5 minutes away has lovely fresh fish, fruit, vegetables and the best bread in Greece. Try the olive oil pressed from the grove the house sits in - free for guests to enjoy. Great local tavernas at amazingly reasonable local prices are nearby - eat like a true Greek - not a tourist! Try the local wine at long established vineyards nearby.

Ancient Olympia, Ancient Messene, the Temple of Apollo, Methoni Castle and the historic Bay of Navarino are all within a short drive, the Ancient Greek capital of Naphlion and Epidavros make a great day trip.

Wonderful walks can be had in the Neda Waterfall Gorge and Arini Gorge - all a short drive away.

If you want to really get away from it all - with lovely beaches, historical sights and amazing nature - in a beautiful house - Old Olive House is for you.

Incredible vistas
The property provides a remarkable view over the town, olive groves, hills and ocean. The house is beautiful, and makes the most of its surroundings, with wonderful outdoor dining areas, balconies, places to read and relax. The kitchen is well appointed, the beds comfortable, and the layout lends itself to reading, games, yoga, and conversations. The manager was an attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant host.

Great house with stunning views
We had a very enjoyable holiday. It is very peaceful and there was little building work taking place when we stayed. We would have liked more hot water for showers morning and evening for 6 adults. Zacharo beach is very beautiful but with rough sea, it was not safe to swim in. Ellie is very responsive to requests for help and the wine/milk/bread in the fridge for us on arrival was very welcoming. Thank you.

Old Olive House
The managers were friendly and helpful , always responded promptly- thank you. The pool was divine and the view from house patios is unbeatable. Not quite the luxurious escape we had in mind as far as the house goes. Missing a few touches to bring it to luxury scale - such as no shampoo, very little soap and no beach towels. Two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom - downstairs bathroom was very tiny - shower water ran into the space. Decor a little tired. Also we believed we had the use of the guest house however apparently it must be booked as an extra- not an issue but would have been nice for one of the couples privacy. The place is a fair way out of town but we got used to navigating the narrow roads and the locals waved out once they knew we were harmless. Close to Olympia and Ressene sites. Lots of nice coffee shops and bakeries in town. We loved the visits from goats, hare hound dogs, and cats. Construction noise from below was everyday starting at 7..30 am until evenings. Got used to it . Overall a really lovely spot but not quite as luxurious as described. .

A hidden gem
We have had a wonderful time (June) at this amazing property. The house is clean, off the beaten pass, has a really nice pool, and lots of nature around it. the communication with the property managers was easy, quick and focused. They greeted us at the agreed upon check in time, showed us around and gave us helpful tips for the stay. We would come again any time!

Early summer break
Overall we had a great holiday our hosts ellie and Charlie were really helpful And welcoming. however we were there for a week and the first three days a builder directly below our property working on new holiday houses started breaking up large rocks with a jcb and hammer drill so what we had hoped would be a peaceful week certainly didn’t turn out that way. The noise was horrendous and constant from 8am-5pm - Ellie and Charlie had not been aware of this work and did speak to the builder who ceased using the heavy machinery from mid week which was a welcome relief but so upsetting given we were only there for a week and picked the property for its total tranquility . The area is very rural and unspoilt and the property is lovely and had everything we had hoped for and was well equipped. You have far distant sea views and overlook olive groves but you certainly cannot walk to the beach a car is therefore absolutely essential. We had two earthquake tremors during our stay .. very minor and we were told common in this area but a little alarming when we had never experienced anything like it before. The local town a short drive away has supermarkets and a selection of shops so you can get everything you need for a self catering holiday. The property is in a stunning location but certainly wouldn’t be a place to take young children as there are steep steps down to the pool area and once down by the pool it isn’t fenced.

What an amazing place
We booked this place without really knowing anything about the region or the location and we were blown away by the beauty of the property and its surrounds! One of the most amazing views I’ve seen. We were close enough for a day trip to Olympia and for another day at the beach. Kids loved the pool even early in the season. We absolutely loved this property!

Dream farmhouse
This is a beautiful house and property. The location is somewhat remote which means driving to town and beach, but it's blissfully private and serene. The views are magnificent. The home is tastefully and comfortably furnished and decorated. The kitchen is very well supplied with high quality utensils which made cooking a pleasure. The hardest part was leaving this terrific vacation home.

Beautiful house, well equipped and with an exceptional view. The house managers, Charles & Ellie we’re on hand to sort out the various issues we had with electrics and plumbing.

Best VRBO house ever!
We've stayed an dozens of VRBO properties over the years and the Old Stone Olive House was the best by far!! The pictures cannot do it justice. The house was so well planned and decorated ensuring every need was meant with incredible style and comfort. W This was a family holiday with 8 of us and everyone had enough space and more than enough to keep us all happy. On a side note, the quality of dinnerware and cookware was superb. We can't say enough about the property and hosts, it helped us with our vacation goal: Making Memories. Thanks to this beautiful house many happy memories were made!

Lovely, comfortable house, no expense spared on the furnishings.
The house is in a lovely peaceful position and very well equipped with good quality pots, pans and linen. The terrace having the bug net all around is absolutely inspired, it means you can be outside anytime of the day or night without being bothered. The pool was lovely if a little chilly (we were there in May) but we used it everyday. Overall we had a comfortable, relaxing stay which is exactly what we were looking for.

A lovely villa with incredible views
This was our second visit to The Old Olive House and we plan to come back again. The setting is so beautiful that we relaxed instantly. The house has everything a family could need. A well stocked kitchen, games for the kids, comfy beds, indoor and outdoor eating areas and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the view. On the few days we managed to drag ourselves away from the villa we visited Olympia, mountain villages, stunning beaches and bustling street markets. A perfect holiday.

Stunning location and a lovely house with extremely helpful hosts
We loved our stay. We were particularly pleased that Zacharo and the area round about is not overrun with tourists, especially at this time of year. We all agreed that the location is brilliant with amazing views, and The Old Olive House is a wonderful place for a holiday. The property managers, Charles and Ellie, could not have been more helpful and we were very happy with their recommendations for things to see (Messene particularly), and where to go for eating and shopping - and of course we were very lucky with the weather. Thank you.

This is an extremely well kept property in a lovely part of the southwestern peloponessos You can see it is more than an investment for the owners as there is really a properly equippped kitchen where you can cook and even bake should you fancy it Nice rustic crockery, fluffy towels and additional pool beach towels are plentiful There are even herbs growing outside the kitchen and Charles and Ellie who look after the place give you a welcome stock ( eggs, milk, butter water - even a complimentary bottle of very good (ktyma mercoury) wine ). They are English which might give reassurance to people who do not speak Greek or are familiar with Greek customs. Most importantly they are a lovely couple and very helpful who have lived in the area for long enough to know it inside out What s not to like? Nothing really it might be too remote for some being 3 Km s up a mountain ( we felt perfectly safe and enjoyed the view), the drive is steep and may scare some and the master bedroom door needs a bit of joinery as it does close not fully Ow it s perfectly maintained in a virtually untouched part of one of the most striking provinces of Greece( olyimpia 15 min, bassae 30 min, pylosnetc also close even my stars doable as a day trip) close enough to Patras should people decide to drive

Beautiful view & Getaway!
This was a perfect week for relaxing! Charles and Eleonore were very accommodating hosts and always a phone call away. The weather was not the best for swimming; but the house offered enough amenities to enjoy a quiet and relaxing time. We recommend obtaining a SIM card as there is no WIFI in the house. There are many affordable restaurants around town and within 15-20 minutes away. We had the chance to visit the beach and found to be a beautiful place, would be perfect for a warmer day!! We also visited Ancient Olympia, about 40 minutes away, but we suggest to stay in the house and sip some local wine!!!!! The town was full of friendly people and helpful. The home has all the amenities and is fully equipped. We highly recommend to book your stay here.

Elegant, comfortable and well-equipped house in an absolutely beautiful setting
My family and I had an extremely happy week here. The house itself had all the mod cons, spacious rooms and was beautifully decorated. The pool was heaven - kids spend the whole time splashing about, and it was lovely to bob about with views of the blue foothills and olive groves all around. Ten minute drive to long, surprisingly under-populated beaches - golden sand and silky blue sea. Charles and Ellie, who look after the property, couldn't have been more charming and helpful. Happy times!
