Nestled in the seaside village of Verga, near the Greek city of Kalámata, this charming villa awaits. Offering panoramic views of the Messenian gulf and the surrounding Taygetus mountains, this home offers a beautiful base from which to explore the southern coast.

The pebbly beaches nearby make for peaceful days out on the shore, but if you’re craving something a little more fast-paced, Kalámata Old Town's maze of cobbled streets are brimming with artisanal shops, museums, cafes and bars. For an insight into the city's rich history, the surrounding castles are also well worth a visit.

The terrace is definitely at the heart of this home, boasting a private swimming pool, comfy sun loungers and a barbecue. If you fancy a private dinner at home, grab some local seafood and fire up the grill. There are plenty of cosy spots from which to catch a sunset - pour yourself a glass of wine and take a seat on the balcony for the best views in the house.
