Description:

A brand new, exceptionally charming group of four houses located in the Historic village of Kardamyli, which is situated in the Mani peninsula in the Southern Peloponnese . This traditional Maniot village is very well known for its spectacular views of the Tayegetos Mountains and the Gulf of Messinia. Situated at the southern end of the village above the traditional harbour, nestled amongst the olive groves Amoni boast an enviable position with magnificent views out across the bay of Messinia and the surrounding olive groves which gives all our guests partial or sea views. The Amoni are two houses built in traditional Mani-style stone and wood, approximately 150 metres south of the village centre, a unique position that offers breathtaking views of the dramatic sunsets of the Messinian Gulf and total relaxation, within walking distance of the village.

Owned by a local family who built The Amoni on land which was originally used by their great grandfather to afford hospitality to farmers from all over the Mani peninsula, they used this place as a stopover-resting place for their livestock on their way to the farmers market in Kalalmata. Before the road to Kalamata existed, farmers from the Mani would normally spend days walking their livestock through the peninsula to Kalamata. Nowadays, it is owned by Alexandros the grandson, who carries on the tradition of hospitality along with the rest of the family. We would like to invite you to experience a place where time has stood still, a place where you can leave civilization behind and truly have an unforgettable and unique holiday.

There are two houses to choose from: (We have four altogether but 2 have not been completed yet). The small house is one storey with a studio layout with a separate bedroom off to the side (suitable for couples and small families), and the larger house is a two storey apartment layout (suitable for groups of friends and larger families) with two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, both of these feature spacious living rooms (with sofa bed and TV), fully-equipped kitchenettes (with cooker-oven, fridge, kettle, toaster, iron, etc.) and spacious bedrooms. Bedrooms have their own independent air-conditioning system, living and bedroom areas also have ceiling fans. Interiors are decorated tastefully, making it extremely comfortable and welcoming and every villa has access to the garden. Fully-furnished, elevated verandas with wonderful views, giving guests totally privacy. Peaceful and luxurious accommodation. The houses are serviced twice weekly, with changes of bed sheets and bath towels.

The Limanaki is just a short walk downhill from The Amoni, perfect for swimming in the clear, blue waters of the bay and snorkeling and exploring the small coves around the shoreline. Those who wish to explore a little further afield you can drive through the Taygetos mountain range and forest, or to the Diros Caverns, the city of Kalamata, or to the Byzantine capital and restored citadel of Mistra . You can also take a short stroll to the restored old town of Kardamili to visit our small museum; there are also many hiking paths through the surrounding mountains to the smaller villages in the area. Kardamili is a fascinating maniot village, rich in history and legend and folklore. Kardamili is an ideal all-year-round destination.
