Taygete's Lookout: Peloponnese

With its winning combination of sublime scenery, ancient sites, untouched beaches and strong ties to Greek mythology, the Peloponnese is one of the mainland's most enchanting destinations. You'll find this home in Messenia, overlooking the peaceful seaside village of Stoupa and offering stunning views of the coast.

Peacefully perched on the coast against a dramatic backdrop of rugged mountains, this home promises tranquillity. Here, you're a short drive from many sandy beaches. Spend leisurely days on Stoupa Beach, a popular snorkelling spot, and Kalogria Beach, loved by families for its idyllic shallow waters. Plus, the quaint fishing village of Agios Nikolaos, with its terracotta tiled roofs and traditional waterfront tavernas, is a twelve-minute drive away.

Inside the charming stone-walled exterior, light-flooded rooms boast high ceilings, stylish decor and modern amenities. The open-plan lounge, with a large dining table and fully-fitted kitchen, offers the perfect gathering place. Though, the real treat is the patio. Boasting a glistening infinity pool and panoramic verandas out to sea, you'll love spending your days here soaking up the sun. On balmy evenings, convene around the outdoor dining table to enjoy alfresco feasts and a front-row seat to glorious sunsets.
