Villa de luxe + maison d’invités

This magnificent, authentic private villa has some of the best views on the Mani Peninsula. As you approach Villa Leonidas you walk through the gate and along a hand-cut stone courtyard, past castle-like archways and beautiful masonry. Two gazebos sit at either end of the saltwater pool, facing the sea, and the stone terrace is finished in porcelain tile and hand-cut stone. With the guest house included, the estate sleeps up to 10 guests, ideal for up to five couples or a family group.

The Space
The main villa is 178.5 m², about 3.5 km from Kardamyli village. On the main floor there is a bedroom and WC, the living room with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, two dining areas, a bathroom with shower and a washer/dryer. Upstairs is the master bedroom with its own sitting area and two terraces, a bathroom with walk-in shower, a separate terrace with dining space, and a third bedroom with a window overlooking the sea.
The guest house is 81 m². On its main floor are the kitchen, living room, bathroom with shower and the first bedroom; upstairs is the master bedroom with its own terrace.
Watch the sunset from the balcony, the pool or one of the many seating spots in the garden. Help yourself to ripe fruit from the trees, play games in the living room or stream Netflix in the evening. The house gets a lot of sunshine, so open the shutters and enjoy the view.

The Neighbourhood
Kardamyli village is about 5 minutes by car. Enjoy a fresh coffee at the café or traditional Greek pastries next door, shop at the supermarket and choose from a number of very good restaurants. Walk towards the water along the road beside the square and park for views with plenty of photo opportunities. ATMs are in the village just past the café. Stoupa is about 20 minutes by car, with Katerina's Market for everything from fresh produce to beach towels. On the way, turn left at the archaeological site sign and drive up the mountain for a breathtaking overlook. Kalamata, about 12 km or 20 minutes away, covers anything else, including shopping and restaurants around the public square.

Getting Around
Park outside the entrance gate or on the street. A rental car is recommended. Kalamata airport (KLX) is about 35 minutes by car; Athens airport is about 3 hours, with roughly €15 in tolls along the way.

Good to Know
A property manager will meet you at check-in and walk you through the villa and guest house so you feel at home from the first evening. If you only need the main villa for up to 6 guests, see our Main Villa listing.
