Country House in olive grove with stunning sea views

Greece has introduced a new “climate crisis resilience fee” for tourists this year. The new tax on houses over 80 square meters is set to be €10 per night. It can be paid by arrival.

The house is located in the Southwestern Peloponnese, 14 km from the town Kyparissia and 1 km from the village Agaliani on 2 hectares of land with 145 olive trees. The charming, secluded location is just right for those who want to relax in a lovely tranquility but want to inquire different sides of Greece. The wide view of the sea and the overgrown with olive trees countryside to the city Kyparissia is stunning.
To the sea one needs a 20 minutes. In the wider area, there are several beaches to choose from.
From Athens is 250 km to Agaliani, the nearest airport is 64 km away in Kalamata.

The country house was built in 2000 with much love and care. It has a tiled roof, the living area is 89m². There is Internet access (Wi-Fi). The four rooms are arranged side by side, so that a sliding door leads from every room on the surrounding terrace. This is wonderful at all (day) times, because no one is disturbed when several people you live there. All windows and doors are fitted with fly screens. In summer, the house is cool, and in winter it can centrally (oil heating in every room) and the chimney are heated. The equipment leaves nothing to be desired, there is everything you need, especially in the kitchen and bathroom but also in the other areas. A car is to be needed there, but you need anyway to explore the interesting Peloponnese.

The house is ideal for two couples or a couple with children. There are books, games and DVDs. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, dishwasher, microwave, kettle.

To round the house
The house is surrounded by a large terrace. We like to sit on the covered square in front of the dining room and enjoy the views and the shade of an ancient olive tree. The children love to climb the tree, on whose branches a hammock is fastened, or playing table tennis and basketball behind the house. Very nice is also the seat on the roof, from where you can watch the starry sky particularly well.
