Guest Reviews

• Moniek (10/5): Fantastisch - Mooie woning en tuin met prachtig uitzicht, fijn zwembad. Leuk dorpje dicht bij opgraving van Messini. Veel te doen in de omgeving.
• GMG (10/5): - Το σπίτι που μας φιλοξένησε για τις μέρες του Πάσχα ήταν ιδανικό για την οικογένειά μας. Οι χώροι, η καθαριότητα, ο κήπος, οι παροχές, όλα ήταν εξαιρετικά. Όλη η επικοινωνία με τον ιδιοκτήτη ήταν εξαιρετική και βοηθητική. Το κατάλυμα βρίσκεται κοντά στον Μελιγαλά και εμείς το είχαμε και σαν ορμητήριο για να πάμε στο Καλό Νερό, στο Κάστρο, στην Καλαμάτα, στην Μεσσήνη και αλλού. Το ίδιο το χωριό έχει καφενείο, καφετέρια, φούρνο και παντοπωλείο. Με χαρά θα το έκλεινα ξανά. Εμάς που είμαστε 4μελής οικογένεια μας δυσκόλεψε λιγάκι το 1 λουτρό. Αλλά αμελητέο μπροστά σε όλα τα υπόλοιπα.

• Stefan (9/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft in einem kleinen Dorf nahe Kalamata -
• GIANNIS (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay for relaxation, even the smallest detail was taken care of. Kids will love it, especially the pool and the toys. The neighbourhood is so quiet and the main square of the village (just 2 minutes away) has everything you need: amazing local restaurants, caffe/bar, pharmacy, mini market and bakery. A fantastic choice for couples and families. Thank you Ioannis for making our trip memorable!
• Margrietha (8/5): Heerlijk!! - De tuin is een waar paradijs. Prachtig!! Prima zwembad, goede locatie en de prijs is ook uitstekend. Goede bedden, makkelijk parkeren. En een dikke 10 voor de host Ioannis. Het toilet was niet schoon toen we aankwamen. Ook ontbrak een volledige instructie voor het huis waardoor ik steeds de host moest lastigvallen met vragen. Die reageerde overigens altijd meteen. Meer handdoeken en theedoeken zou prettig zijn. Ook moesten we de katten voeren, wat op zich al bijzonder is, maar er was geen voorraad kattenvoer. Tenslotte was het heel jammer dat de lichten in de tuin automatisch uitgingen om 23.45, dan zaten we ineens in het donker. Kleine ongemakken dus, die heel gemakkelijk verholpen zouden kunnen worden om een 10 score te halen.
• Edwin (9/5): Peaceful Escape Near Kalamata with Warm Local Charm - We had a good stay at The Backyard in Kalamata. The house itself was beautifully designed, with a spacious living area that made us feel right at home. The garden was a true gem—lush and peaceful, complete with a private pool that offered the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Communication with the owner was smooth and friendly from start to finish, which made everything easy and stress-free. His thoughtful gestures, like welcoming us with sesame cookies and local olive oil, added such a personal touch and made us feel genuinely cared for. We particularly appreciated the quiet location, set outside the city and nestled among locals—it gave us a chance to experience the authentic charm of the area. Kalamata was only about a 20-minute drive away, so we could enjoy the city without sacrificing the tranquility of our retreat. This stay was the perfect balance of comfort, hospitality, and local flavor. Highly recommended if you're looking for a peaceful escape with heart. On the practical side, there was no 3rd sunbed at the pool and the double bed in the master bedroom was very small. There were also no kitchen towels or dishwasher tablets provided, so we bought some ourselves—no problem at all, but just something to note.
• Jens (9/5): Empfehlenswert - Lauschiges, gemütliches, sauberes, gepflegtes und modernes Anwesen. Sehr gute Innenausstattung mit vielen Extras. Sehr schöner Privatpoolbereich mit Grillbereich, großer Tisch und viele Sitzmöglichkeiten. Geräumige Dusche ohne Duschvorhang - sehr angenehm! Parkmöglichkeit innerhalb der Anlage. Ruhig und abgeschlossen. Sehr schade, dass es bei Bedarf keine zusätzlichen leichten, klappbaren Liegen für den Poolbereich gibt. So können immer nur 2 Personen in den Genuss kommen und die anderen müssen auf harten Stühlen verweilen (hier wären auch Sitzkissen wünschenswert). Das Geschirr... war ein wenig schmuddelig.
• Rory (10/5): 10/10 - This really is a fantastic holiday place, exceptional in all areas. The host was really helpful, the village is really nice and close to some beautiful beaches. The property itself is amazing, great pool area and lovely inside with everything needed. Couldn’t recommend this place more! 10/10
• Richard (7/5): Good - Very good property and all the facilities you could want. Especially liked the outdoor speakers. The location was a little too remote for us.
• Alexandros (10/5): Paradise on Earth - The place was everything we needed for a relaxing vacation! Quiet, clean, fully organised, with a beautiful back yard and a clean swimming pool. A lot of toys/activities for the kids were available and you could connect to the built-in speakes to play your music both inside the house and at the yard. The village was very traditional with the main square only 2 minutes away and a deer farm only 5 minutes away. A lot of options for beaches close by and only 15 minutes away from the most impressive archaeological site in Greece, Ancient Messini. Overall, we couldn't have wished for a better place to stay!
• Heleri (10/5): I would definitely recommend this place for families. - The place was clean and beautiful. We had everything we needed for a comfy stay in the house. The pool was nice and it was heated so we could be in the pool early in the morning and late in the evening. The place itself was great, but there were a lot of dogs barking in the village and woke as up in the morning. The village is really small and did not have proper store.
• Anonymous (10/5): Lovely house in the heart of the small town. the name says it all - its backyard is its jewel. - Lovely house in the heart of the small town. the name says it all - its backyard is its jewel with citrus and walnut trees, little veggie garden and of course the pool. you have everything you need for a pleasant stay in the house and even morning coffee and delicious dinner in short walk distance. And the host left some local treats for us 🥰 The only downside I could think of is lack of bathroom floor mat.
• Saskia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!! Great living space indoor and outdoor. The house is very clean and everything is available for a nice holiday. Loved it!!!!
• Laura (10/5): Everything was perfect!! Highly recommend staying at the backyard! Ioannis was an amazing -
