A Remembered Song

Holiday Rental Description

The southern Peloponnese is known for its beautiful golden beaches, charming old-world villages and archaeological sites steeped in history. And from this spot in Valira, you'll be well-placed to make the most of it. Hop in the car to explore this picturesque region and you'll find something new at every turn. Head to Bouka Beach for a dip in the sea (just 18km away), nibble on the namesake olives in Kalamata's local eateries or step back in time at the ruins in Ancient Messene.

Whatever you get up to, you'll love returning to this cosy home after a long day. Open a bottle of Greecian wine and enjoy it alfresco on the patio, breathing in the fresh air. Better yet, take a seat on the balcony and watch the sun dip below Valira's horizon as you dig into a feast prepared on the barbecue. The two outside spaces are hard to resist, but the open-plan layout inside is just as relaxing. Everyone can kick back, put their feet up and chill out together until bedtime, when the comfortable bedrooms are sure to be calling your name.

Home truths:
*While all the bedrooms here are on the ground floor, the living space is upstairs on the first level
*Air conditioning is in the bedrooms only, and it's provided by a window unit
*If you need to work from home, the dining table doubles as a desk
*The best way to get around here is by car – there are two private parking spots available on-site
*Valira has supermarkets, bakeries, cafes and taverns, so you won't have to travel far to dine out or stock up on essentials
*There are neighbouring houses close by, so this home is not completely secluded – although we think the walled patio has plenty of privacy
