Located just behind the coastal path that connects Stoupa with Agios Nikolaos, Kalamon is the middle of three handsome villas, each with its own private pool, garden and panoramic sea views. All the houses are beautifully finished, but what makes this one extra special is the private hot tub located on the first-floor terrace; sit back, relax and enjoy the nightly spectacle of a magnificent Mani sunset before wandering into Stoupa for dinner by the sea.

Kalamon is constructed in traditional Maniot style, from the beautiful stone walls right down to the raised roof corners which you will see all over the region. The interiors are built entirely for pleasure however, with Smart TVs for an evening in, balconies for each bedroom and mosquito nets on the windows so you can fall asleep to the sound of the sea.

The coast in front of the villas is rocky, which makes for stunningly clear blue water; the agile can swim or snorkel from the shore around a 10-minute walk away, and there are rock pools galore for younger guests to explore. If you prefer sand, then it’s just a further five minutes or so to walk into Stoupa where you’ll find a crescent of golden sand backed by numerous small restaurants and bars. Heading in the opposite direction (1.8km) will take you into charming Agios Nikolaos and another tempting array of smart little restaurants around its tiny harbour.

With two stylish bedrooms and generous outdoor space, Kalamon is ideal for couples or a smaller family, and if you’re travelling with a larger party, it combines perfectly with Koroneiki and Kallas to sleep up to 12 in great comfort.

Footnote: Kalamata flights are understandably in high demand on peak dates. As an alternative, we recommend considering the more competitively priced flights into Athens and a self-drive transfer to your villa. Add a night or two in Athens, or drive directly to the Mani in approx. 3.5hours. Please contact us for more information.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
