Katikies Manis

Magnifique petit bungalow à quelques mètres de la mer Accueil très sympathique avec kit de petit déjeuner et bouteille de vin Decoration de bon goût Bonne literie Vue exceptionnelle

This is a beautifully built traditional style Mani rented ‘bungalow’ with an idyllic view and a walk to beach below. Basic service, coffee machine and biscuits. You need a car. A best class rating was excluded because of the army of mosquitoes that invaded day and night (no nets or blinds), a Greek next door who was shouting ‘malakas’ into his mobile phone and the absence of a grill to complete the kitchen. At 100 euros for up to 4 people it is reasonable value. Recommended.

Excellent quiet location just minutes drive from town. Beautiful rooms with lovely views across the valley.

What a perfect home base (right between Stoupa and Kardamyli) to explore the Mani! A five-minute walk lands you at two beautiful beaches. We spent just as much time on our terrace watching the sun rise and set as we did inside our cozy and comfortable suite (the bed was a dream!)

We loved the location and especially the walk down to the “private” swimming cove.

A beautiful villa surrounded by a lovely garden and with a phenomenal view of the sea. Close to the wonderful hiking trails above Kardamyli. We would definitely stay at this place again - it was easily our favorite during our trip to Greece.

No place is perfect, but this spot is ideal for kicking back and also as a place from which to explore the rugged area of West Mani. Be prepared for slow mountain driving, but it’s well worth the pace and the constant vigilance of mountain driving. What would I change? Little but a few small things: the kitchen needs more implements, especially sharp knives. A firmer mattress would be appreciated. And just four close pins for the laundry rack on the patio? Come now. But these are small matters. By the way, two good supermarkets are nearby. We were forced to cook all of our meals due to the open smoking at local restaurants. Apparently EU regulations do not apply in the area.

We booked 2 units in this holiday rental compound (it isn’t a hotel per se). Both units (one Superior Residence with Panoramic Sea View and one Mini Maisonette with Sea View) were elegantly designed, spacious, airy, and most importantly – well cleaned. The kitchenette which comes with it was reasonably equipped for light hob-cooking (no microwave). Sufficient coffee sachets, tea, evaporated milk pods were provided by the owner. We also received a bottle of wine and some dried bread and biscuits. Air-condition and water heater worked well, the bed was comfortable and the toiletries and towels were luxurious. Free parking and reliable free wifi were available with the rental. The view from both units were amazing – we saw beautiful sunsets from the verandah. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and with the nice lady/cleaner who let us in. We can highly recommend this fantastic find to others.

Beautiful place of the world. If you want to relax this is the place to go.

Loved it! A beautiful hotel with a gorgeous view. Highly recommended.
