Stone's Throw Cottage by the sea in Koroni - sleeps 6

.
Masks are still mandatory when shopping.
Within Greece, the Messinia region where Koroni is located has recorded very few cases of Covid.
Stone’s throw Cottage & Studio are located outside the town. Koroni centre is an easy 20 min walk or a 5 min drive away. Both properties are safe, secluded havens, set amongst an olive grove with direct access to a peaceful, uncrowded beach. Both houses are fully equipped to allow for a very comfortable and relaxing stay, putting guests in command of how much they interact with the local community.
Cleaning & disinfecting procedures have been ramped up to ensure the safety of our
guests. Linen is washed between guests at a high temperature.
So, if you are ready for that beach holiday in a stunning location then we look forward to welcoming you~

Set in an olive grove about 100 mtrs or less from the beautiful, sandy Zaga beach is this wonderful, family holiday home.
The property has two bedrooms, one with a new Queen sized bed complete with beautiful linen and cotton bedding. There is a large wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, the other bedroom has two single beds again with very nice bedding, and a large chest of drawers.
There is also a double sofa/bed in the lounge/kitchen area, so the cottage can sleep up to 6 people comfortably.
There is a shower room in the property with a shower, basin, w.c. and washing machine. Water is heated by Solar and is very hot!
All towels, including beach towels and clean linen are provided .
The kitchen is fulled fitted out and is part of the living area. There is a table and chairs, bookcase, full sized cooker and large fridge freezer, the kitchen has all amenities, kettle, toaster, juicer, pots and pans and all cutlery. There is a cafetiere and tea pot. There is a good sized sink with drainer and worktops. At this time the kitchen sink has only cold water but hot water can be brought from the shower room.
Air conditioning is in the main bedroom and in the living area and can be used for heating in the cooler months.
The Cottage is light and airy and benefits greatly from sea breezes in the hot Summer months....
Double doors lead of the Living area/kitchen to the balcony towards the sea. Here you will find a small greek style table and chairs and a single banquette (Greek style concrete bed) with mattress for a great siesta on a hot afternoon! or sleep outside on one of those sultry nights. There are glimpses of the sea from this balcony and views of the garden and olive groves around.
Leading of the bedrooms is another long balcony, a lovely place to sit and watch the sea, and admire the surrounding area.
Although the property is detached, a few mtrs. away is Stone's Throw Studio, a completely separate rental property, suitable for 2 adults and 2 small children and right on the beach, but if you wish, the two properties can be rented together .
There is plenty off road parking on the land with a large car port to take two cars. and whilst a car is not a necessity it is recommended, or why not hire bikes from Uli, details in the cottage.
The town of Koroni is a half hour walk away along the beach, up through the atmospheric, medieval Castle with its few inhabitants. There is a monastery and churches within the Castle walls and stupendous views from the walk around the perimeter. Then take a walk down the steps into town, the best way, but there are other walking options.
In the town you will find everything for your needs, Supermarket, Bakers, Fresh Fish, Cafes, Restaurants, Banks with ATM machines in several languages and there are also taxis for hire and a fairly frequent bus service that takes you to Kalamata with its charming old quarter, about 1 hours drive away. There is also a car hire company.
Koroni town is charming, built on terraces with its red roof buildings, wander round the backstreets and find quaint cottages and Byzantine churches.....
Along the harbourside are many restaurants, a good one specializing in Fish and all with their own unique charm, and if its a late night and you cant face the walk back, jump in a taxi with a friendly driver for about 5 euros!
If you want to eat more locally to the cottage there are 3 restaurants along the beach, all within easy walking distance.
Zaga beach where the property is situated is home to nesting Loggerhead Turtles in the Summer months and all along the beach you will see nests from June to September, they are protected and monitored by young volunteers and if you are lucky and on the beach at the right time you will see the hatchlings rushing to the sea, a wonderful sight. You would be welcome to join the volunteers on their early morning inspection of the nests....but be prepared to join them at 06.00 a.m.
Enjoy the cottage garden, with many beautiful trees and shrubs. There is a patio with pergola to shade you when necessary .
Imagine, waking up and taking a very short walk and you could be swimming in the clear blue sea in a matter of a minute or less, the Cottage and Stone's Throw Studio are what dreams are made of for beach lovers.

Enjoy the Summer Music Festival that Koroni hosts every year, with concerts to suit all tastes, there are usually 2 concerts a week in wonderful locations, tickets can be bought from a gift shop "Aldebaran" in Koroni Town.

Lovely, fully equipped home from home in a stunning location!

Excellent beach location
The property is a beach cottage/chalet with everything you need, in an amazing location a few meters from the sandy beach. Excellent for swimming, and very quiet at the end of April. Unfortunately, it has not got much of a sea view as there is another small building between it and the sea. There is limited hot water if the sun doesn’t shine as it is solar only without electric back up. But overall a minor problem in this good value accommodation. You need a small rented car to get around . Not too big as track down is very narrow. It is a fair walk to Koroni as you need to go up and over the hill. Keeps you fit!

Die guten Zeiten dieses Hauses sind vorbei
Die Beschreibung des Hauses und der Umgebung gaukeln etwas vor, das längst nicht mehr so ist. Der Standort ist auf der Karte falsch eingezeichnet, Taxis weigern sich, das enge Strässchen zum Haus zu befahren, zu Fuss ist der Ort 40 Minuten von Koroni und dem nächsten Lebensmittelladen entfernt. Ungeeignet für Reisende ohne Auto. Meersicht ist praktisch zugebaut, es sind weder ein Sonnenschirm noch Liegestühle vorhanden, der ist Garten verwildert, die Küchen- und Badausstattung zum Teil ungepflegt / schmuddelig. Wir können dieses Objekt nicht weiterempfehlen.

Die besten Zeiten sind vorbei
Wir kannten das Haus und hatten uns darauf gefreut. Leider haben wir es in keinem guten Zustand vorgefunden. Es gab sehr viele Mängel, die uns während des Aufenthaltes einen ausführlichen E-Mail Schriftverkehr mit der Besitzerin kosteten, aber zu keinerlei Verbesserung führte. Die Ausstattung der Küche war mangelhaft (keine Weingläser, kaum Besteck u.a.). Eine Tür zum Balkon ließ sich nicht verschließen, eine zweite Schiebetür klemmte und ließ sich nicht mehr öffnen. Das Bad ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, die Toilette lief aus (wir müssten täglich putzen) und leider waren Kakerlaken im Bad.(die mir beim Abtrocknern der Hände über die Finger liefen) Der Garten war ungepflegt, verwildert, es gab keinerlei Aussenbeleuchtung (auch kaputt) - der Weg zum Haus bei Dunkelheit ein Abenteuer. Zerbrochene, verostete Liegen und Sonnenschirme lagen als Müll herum, funktionierende gab es nicht. Die Besitzerin, die in Übersee lebt, hatte uns eine Rückerstattung versprochen, aber nicht eingehalten. Wir hätten gerne einen unbeschwerten Urlaub gehabt; so waren wir mit den Mängeln und dem unhygienischen Zustand des Bad beschäftigt, was unseren Aufenthalt sehr getrübt hat. Schade. Wir wünschen dem Haus, trotz unkulantem Verhalten der Besitzerin, eine gute Zukunft, denn es könnte ein toller Ort für einen schönen Urlaub sein.

2 settimane da sogno!
Posizione a due passi dalla spiaggia Casa pulita, ampia, luminosa e ben attrezzata. Accoglienza ottima anche se era già sera tardi. Piccolo disguido per 1 giorno, dove è mancata l'acqua per diverse ore. I proprietari avrebbero dovuto avvisarci e preoccuparsi dei nostri bisogni.

Traumhafter Strandurlaub
Hervorragende Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin Jina, alles hat super geklappt. Das Haus ist geräumig und hat alles was man braucht für einen erholsamen Urlaub, die Terassen sind groß und sehr schön, umgeben von vielen Pflanzen und Blumen, wunderschöne Schmetterlinge zu sehen. Man hört und sieht das Meer, 20 Schritte bis zum wunderschönen Naturstrand mit glasklarem Wasser, wir haben jede Minute genossen. Perfekt zum Entspannen.

Sehr erholsam
Ein sehr schöner Ort um erholsame Ferientage zu verbringen. Die Ausstattung des Hauses, die unmittelbare Nähe zum Strand sowie die ruhige Lage eignen sich perfekt zum Entspannen. Für Einkäufe kann man in ca 30 Minuten zu Fuß Koroni erreichen oder in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto. Kommen gerne wieder.

A piece of paradise
The location is a dream. Quietness, really a few meters from sandy beach. You hear only birds and sounds of waves. The house is well equipped. Not very new equipment but everything you need. Welcoming was very kind. The very nice village and port is at 10 minutes by car.

Schönes, super ausgestattetes Haus am tollsten Strand!
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche im Ferienhaus von Jina und Nick. Das Haus ist super ausgestattet und bietet eine Menge Platz. Wir waren nur zu zweit aber man kann super mit bis zu 6 Personen unterkommen. Die Küche war super ausgestattet, es gab wirklich alles, was man brauchte. Frühstücken, Abendessen oder einfach nur relaxen kann auf einer der drei Terrassen/Balkone. Die große Terrasse befindet sich direkt vor dem Haus, eine großzügige überdachte Loggia bietet zudem ein Outdoor-Sofa. Bis zum Meer sind es nur wenige Schritte. Der Strand ist toll und das Wasser super klar. Nach Koroni läuft man am Strand entlang etwa 20 Minuten. Das Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen, Thank you Jina and Nick!

Oase am Strand
Das Cottage ist der perfekte Ort für einen wirklich privaten Strandurlaub! Morgens zum Sonnenaufgang ans Meer - es sind nur 100 m! Mittags ein schattiges Plätzchen auf einer der beiden hübschen Terrassen am Haus und abends zurückan den Strand um ein Picknick abzuhalten oder den Schildkröten beim schlüpfen zuzusehen. Das hübsche Häuschen liegt versteckt zwischen Feigenbäumen in einem sehr ruhigen Abschnitt des ZAGA-Beaches, ganz nah an der Surfschule. Es ist geschmackvoll und gut ausgestattet, um sich zu hause zu fühlen und Jina und Nick sind wunderbar unkomplizierte Gastgeber. Wir sagen vielen, vielen Dank für diese schöne Zeit und schätzen uns glücklich, das Stone Throw Cottage genossen zu haben!

Schön gelegenes, strandnahes Ferienhaus
Das Haus ist einfach, aber mit allem Notwendigen eingerichtet. (Nur der in der Ausstattung angegebene Fön hat gefehlt. Das angekündigte Fahrrad auch, aber das hätten wir auch wegen der steilen Anfahrt nicht genutzt.) Die beiden Kinder haben es genoßen, so nah am Strand zu wohnen und den ganzen Tag im Sand und Wasser zu spielen. Nachteil: Die Matratzen waren sehr unbequem und sollten erneuert werden. Die Wohnung war bei Bezug nur sehr grob gesäubert.
