NEW FOR 2025
One of the greatest attractions of the Mani region is its combination of authenticity and quality, and Villa Achilleas is a perfect example of this appeal. Perched on the edge of Neo Hori village, the house is stone-built in traditional style, and, approaching from the rear, you get little impression of the treat that awaits. Once inside however, you’re welcomed into an elegant, spacious and superbly finished home, packed with everything you could possibly need for a very indulgent stay.
The villa has four bedrooms and a large open plan living area, but feels cosy despite the generous space. Warm, natural colours and a beamed ceiling lend the inviting atmosphere of a mountain retreat, yet the matchless blue of the Aegean glitters just a couple of kilometres below. You can enjoy this glorious 180° panorama over Beaufort hill, the coast and the distant outline of southern Messinia across the bay from the villa’s split-level terraces, whether you’re grilling on the barbecue or lounging by the pool. The sandy beach and restaurants of Stoupa are temptingly close, but it’s well worth getting home in time to see the sunset at least once from this fantastic, elevated spot.
With its rich mix of beaches and history, the area is ideal for adult groups, a multi-generation party or families with older children, who might also enjoy the fact that the lower level at Villa Achilleas is an entirely self-contained two-bedroom annexe. Regardless of your party, this is a luxurious home-from-home nestled between the mountains and the sea, giving you easy access to the best that the Mani has to offer, or just a great excuse to relax and do not very much at all.
In Greece, a tourist tax may apply at your accommodation which will be payable locally, in cash, during the course of your holiday. Please use the link to view details specific to your accommodation. View tourist tax rates here.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.

Considering a holiday in the Peloponnese? Welcome to a land of golden beaches, crimson sunsets and cerulean seas, where myth intertwines with history and the past is ever-present. This spectacular region lies at the southern tip of the Greek mainland, with three peninsulas reaching out towards Crete, each offering a slightly different Peloponnese holiday experience. The whole area is blissfully unspoilt and blessed with some of the longest and best beaches in Greece.
With its tempting combination of high-quality accommodation and unspoilt landscapes, a luxury holiday in the Peloponnese has very wide appeal, whether you choose family-friendly Stoupa for its soft sandy beaches, discreetly upmarket Agios Nikolaos for its excellent restaurants or the Costa Navarino for its renowned golf courses and glorious coastline, featuring one of the most photographed beaches in all of Greece. With prices generally lower than the island destinations and quality that we consider to be unrivalled in Greece, the Peloponnese is highly recommended for luxury holidays.
