HELLENIC TOURIST ADMINISTRATION LICENCE MHTE 128k92000322401 Https://manihouwe-ktimakriviana.com [email protected] [email protected] +306972090333 Mani House is located near Gythio town on the Mani Peninsula, at Laconia, an area of the Peloponnese rich in history. Its residents, the Maniots, were forceful men and Mani has maintained its independence throughout the years. Overlooking the “SKOUTARI” Gulf, 500 meters away from the sea, offers a stunning view of the sea along with the opposite slopes of the mountain "Taygetos". The house of 441.32 sqm is built on a stone-fenced plot of 5015.41 sqm, with a living space of 275.75 sqm and 165..57 sqm for auxiliary space including a garage of 80 sqm and 2.7 height The traditional buildings of Mani were built of stone following a fortress-like design; many vendettas amongst the Mani families meant that people built homes to protect themselves. Elements of this traditional style are reflected in the design of Mani House. The stone walls are combined with a modern interior focused on comfort. The traditional albeit unique property features all modern conveniences including, among others, a sound system for different areas of the house; satellite TV, BBQ, and wood oven as well as an infinity pool with breathtaking views. The main entrance to the property is from the pool terrace. The infinity pool is large with dimensions: Length 12.80m x 5.45m width, 1.35m high in the shallow and 3.00m in the deep water. The wooden door leads to a bright and spacious central living area. Each part of this central living space fits beautifully into a perfectly designed interior. The colours are simple, creams and stone, with a flagged floor that runs throughout. The shutters are painted in pale pistachio and bright magenta has been introduced throughout the soft furniture and dining chairs which give a contrast of brilliance to the colour scheme. Large French style doors lead from every area to the pool terrace which offers a perfect place to relax for every part of the day. Enjoy your stay at Mani House using the sun loungers that surround the pool, the shaded areas to dine or sit under the shade of the huge oak tree whilst playing a game of chess or backgammon. The kitchen is located at the rear of the large central living space and is fully equipped with all modern conveniences. It offers direct access to a patio at the back of the house which takes on a traditional, cafe-style appearance featuring pretty, metal chairs and tables and a BBQ and bread oven to conjure up the flavours of Greece. On the same level but in a separate wing are three bedrooms. One has a double bed with an en-suite bathroom including a bathtub and a large dressing area. Next, there are two twin bedrooms, each one featuring an en-suite bathroom with a shower. All bedrooms have direct access to the pool terrace. The next floor features a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and shower and a comfortable double bed, along with an office desk. This room benefits from a balcony overseeing the pool terrace and sea view. Finally, on the basement level, the guests can benefit from indoor parking for 2-3 cars. On the same level, and for our guests’ comfort, the Mani house caretaker is based. He looks after the property and stays in a self-contained, totally independent apartment, on the basement level. He is very discreet and tends to the engine room located at the same level, as well as the pool, usually twice a week, very early in the morning or very late at night, leaving guests to enjoy their privacy unless he is needed. The Mani House is located on a large piece of land which has been planted with colourful indigenous plants, shrubs, and trees. The stone paths, steps, and walkways meander through the property can lead to our old oak tree for the most wonderful shade in the heat of the day. The property is very well located in terms of accessing the beach and taverns, shops and cafes which are all a short drive away. The Mani House is really exceptional and is situated in a part of Greece that is truly beautiful, unspoiled and wild. We look forward to welcoming you soon. Reviews Tranquilite et comfort Rating: 5 of 5 Nous avons été accueillis par le propriétaire de la villa qui connait très bien la région et nous a conseillés sur les (très) bonnes adresses où profiter des superbes paysages et de l'excellente cuisine locale.Notre hote a fait preuve de beaucoup de discrétion et d'attentions (les CD de chansons françaises !...) La région a beaucoup de caractère et la villa de par son architecture s'y intègre parfaitement ; la demeure est très agréable et spacieuse, on y déambule aisément et il fait bon y vivre. Tout est très bien conçu et rien ne manque. La vue est époustouflante, incite au voyage et la piscine semble ne faire qu'une avec la mer. Le village est très calme, et la villa dispose d'un grand terrain permettant un relatif isolement. De nombreuses plages sont accessibles en quelques minutes ; elles sont peu fréquentées et l'ambiance y est calme et conviviale à la fois. Les commerces permettent également de s'approvisionner en très bons produits peu chers (les viandes , légumes et poissons sont d'un rapport qualité prix imbattable), préparés dans la grande cuisine de la villa ou son barbecue. A wonderful villa!.. Rating: 5 of 5 Left on Aug 6, 2015, for a stay in Jul 2015I booked this villa for 11 days in July this year for my family (2 adults, 3 children aged 8, 10, 12). The villa was absolutely stunning. It was extremely spacious, comfortable, immaculately clean (with further cleaner visits on 2 occasions whilst we were there) and it had all of the amenities you could ask for (air-con, DVD player, Wi-Fi, laundry, full kitchen amenities). The pool was wonderful. It was large, clean and had wonderful views over the sea and mountains opposite. We spent 3 days in Athens and then drove easily and leisurely to the villa in 3.5 hours. You definitely need a car as it is in a fairly remote location, but there are lots of lovely towns, beaches, shops etc. all within 20-30 mins drive. Be sure to stock up at the supermarket before you arrive. George the owner was in a self-contained apartment downstairs and at the rear of the property which was useful if we had any queries but we had total privacy. He provided a fabulous information pack which we used all of the time for day trips and restaurant recommendations. We had a wonderful holiday and would not hesitate to recommend this villa. This review is the subjective opinion of a Trip Advisor member and not of Trip Advisor LLC. From Paula P….. London, United Kingdom “A wonderful, relaxing and interesting holiday! To be repeated!” Rating: 5 of 5 Reviewed 23 Jan 2016 My family and I stayed at Mani House last year- 2015. We were thrilled with the architecture of the style and layout of the beautiful stone house. The facilities were more than adequate - spacious clean and very well maintained. The bedrooms, large kitchen and living-dining rooms left nothing to be desired. The outdoor infinity pool was a good size and the terrace gave us the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful views of the bays and Mount Taygetos. The area has a plethora of interesting places to visit. Instructions and directions for sightseeing are provided in the house if necessary. Many House is a place I would definitely recommend to friends and family. We certainly will be back for another enjoyable holiday there. 27 Jul 2017 A Dreamy place Rating: 5 of 5 Date of Stay 20 Jul 2017 We stayed at the Mani House attracted by the beautiful stone house and the trip was worth it. The property was indeed beautiful and maintained at excellent standards. The infinity pool offered amazing views during the whole day and night. The Stone- alls combined with a modern interior are focused on comfort. The traditional albeit, unique property features all modern conveniences including; satellite TV, BBQ, and wood oven. The TV/stereo set up was very advanced and broadcasted at the pool area too. The living room was really cosy and the kitchen fully equipped with a high standard appliance. The bedrooms all had their own bathroom each decorated in different colours from the others, A/C, and window nets. The house, in general, was very spacious and we did not feel that it was crammed; it rather gave us a sense of comfort and relaxation throughout. The surrounding the house space divided into several areas with stone paths, among trees, local plants, olive and fruitful trees offers a sense of beauty. The house is located at the end of a small village, which means you need to have a car to go to the beach (4 minutes by car) or to a Tavern, but even so, it is totally worth the visit! Anonymous said... 29 May 2015 Spectacular views, comfortable well-equipped house Rating: 5 of 5 Date of Stay 10 May 2015 This is a great property for a restful stay. The house is well equipped, well maintained and comfortable, and the pool is as good as it looks in the photos. George Iasemidis (the owner) was always very quick and helpful in his responses before we arrived. During our stay, he was also very responsive and most helpful, and there are good instructions and suggestions re local facilities provided in the house. I would certainly recommend this property to family and friends. You do need a car if you are going to stay here - it is quite isolated which is an advantage in terms of peace and quiet, provided you have your own transport. FamilieHilker/Katsari aus Neuenkirchen/Deutschland said... 27 Jul 2014 Luxuriöses, großzügiges Rating: 5 of 5 Date of Stay 15 Jul 2014 Luxuriöses, großzügiges, an einem Berghang gelegenes Landhaus auf einem weiträumigen Grundstück mit schattiger Terasse, großem Panorama-Pool (bis ca. 2,40m tief), Grillplatz und funktionstüchtigem Bäckerofen. Die im Internet zu findenden recht schönen Fotografien werden von der Realität eher übertroffen. Sehr ursprüngliche, durch Berge und die typischen, festungsgleichen Steinhäuser geprägte Region im südlichsten Teil des Peloponnes und somit auch neben Tarifa in Andalusien südlichsten Teil des Europäischen Festlandes,in der über Jahrhunderte der Begriff Vendetta und die Seeräuberei eine Rolle spielten. Der im ersten Moment erhebliche Preis erscheint uns nach 10 Tagen entspanntem Aufenthalt gerechtfertigt. Unschlagbar ist der spektakuläre Ausblick nach Süden über die Skoutari-Bucht sowie nach Westen über den nahen Kirchturm hinweg bis zum ca. 60km entfernten Taigetos-Bergland bei Sparta (bis 2400m). Extra erwähnenswert ist auch die hochwertige, vom guten Geschmack des Landlords zeugende Einrichtung des Hauses. Für Selbstversorger läßt die Einrichtung und Ausstattung der Küche keine Wünsche offen. Im Erdgeschoss befinden sich drei Doppelzimmer mit jeweils separatem Badezimmer und Zugang zur Terrasse. Desweiteren befinden sich hier ein großzügiger Wohnbereich sowie ein Esstisch für 8 Personen. Im Obergeschoss ist ein weiteres Doppelzimmer mit Bad und Balkon. In allen Bereichen finden sich Klima-Anlagen oder Ventilatoren. Beachtenswert ist auch daß ausgefeilte Lichtdesign. Im Untergeschoss ist eine Garage für bis zu 4 PKW. Ein PKW ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert und kann nach telefonischer Rücksprache mit dem Vermieter im 20 km entferntem Glythio ausgeliehen werden. (z.B. Seat Córdoba für 40 Euro pro Tag).Hier sind auch die nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, medizinische Versorgung, Polizei und Geldautomaten. Als typischer Hafenort finden sich hier auch zahlreiche Tavernen. Die nächsten Sandstrände sind ca. 4 min Autofahrt entfernt, bekannt sind die ca. 15min entfernten Strände von Mavrovouni. Unsere Halbtagsausflüge nach Tenaron, Mistras, Monemvasia und in die Tropfsteinhöhlen von Diros waren kurzweilig und abenteuerbeladen, sollten aber wegen der Mittagsh*tze erst ab 15 Uhr oder am frühen Vormittag in Angriff genommen werden. Fazit: Sehr gut eingerichtetes Ferienhaus im gehobenen Preissegment mit perfektem Swimmingpool und unschlagbarer Aussicht für bis zu 8 automobile Gäste in einer sehr ursprünglichen Gegend Von meinem iPad gesendet ivabiva75 Lond Rating: 5 of 5 On Fabulous Holiday away from it all! Left on Aug 7, 2017, for a stay in Jul 2017 A lovely, romantic holiday for my husband and myself, away from the hustle and bustle of our London life. After doing some grocery shopping in nearby Gytheio we had little reason to leave! Gorgeous property, luxurious house...although I didn't find the hot tub....don't need it, the pool was plenty. And you should forget television and internet on a holiday; otherwise, you are not really on holiday! Loved it, will come again and recommend to friends!
