Lovely villa with the beach at the end of the garden. 10 mins drive to Vonitsa, the nearest town. It would suit a couple, family, or group of friends. Kiki is an exceptional hostess providing advice and assistance when required. Our stay wasn’t extended enough, but I will come back in the near future for more days. Kiki, thank you for all.

Paradiesische Ruhe

Die Villa liegt sehr abgeschieden, hat eigenen, von Dritten nur mässig besuchten Kiesstrand, die Ruhe ist phantastisch. Unsere Gastgeberin war ausgesprochen freundlich, aber nie aufdringlich. Die von ihr zubereiteten Mahlzeiten (Extramenus für Vegane!) waren köstlich. Preveza, Lefkada und einige schöne Strändeliegen in annehmbarer Entfernung.

Villa Porto Matzavino 4 ever!!!

We had a very pleasant time during our stay. The location is excellent, next to the sea beach with excellent and safe access. The service was perfect and the villa very clean with all the amenities in operation. The landlady was very pleasant, welcoming, providing all the local information and activities of the area. We really felt like home. The price fully reflects what is published about the villa and we will be happy to come again during the summer time

Villa Porto Matzavino - Aug 2020

If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing location, Villa Porto Matzavino is ideal. The property has fantastic facilities, and Kiki is a wonderful host, cooking a lovely meal for us on our arrival on a Sunday evening with produce from the property and fish from the local port. The semi-private beach is a few steps from the end of the large garden, with clear, warm water. We could see the fish and sea walnuts (harmless jellyfish) swimming round us. Kiki was wonderful with our children, letting them help to lay out and recover the fishing nets that are put out each night, and teaching them some Greek cooking (fish caught that morning in her nets, and Greek cakes). A car is essential in this property, as the nearest shops and tavernas are about 20 minutes drive away.

Magic holidays

We liked everything, I enjoyed every moment of my journey and I have spent each minute in the beautiful villa. The owner is such a gracious host and does everything to please you. She cooked for us, made boating for free or she did other reservations for us and give us maps and suggestions for day trips. She prepared a very tasteful meal with local shrimps and fishes. The Villa had a very beautiful garden with a lot of products, such as vegetables tomatoes, cucumber, onion, fruits, and flowers. You had the opportunity to buy olive oil, olives and wine from the owner. There were also beautiful palm trees which gives an excellent impression. The building was in front of the beach (almost 10 meters away). There was a private kiosk where a visitor could relax. Just in front of the villa, the visitors could swim in a very clear water, can go for fishing with the owner's motorboat which was free of charge and you could use the canoe just for fun, as well. The area was very safe and it is recommended for families with small children as well. The Villa is a two-level building. The first level is the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. The second level has three bathrooms. There are all big and they have very comfortable balconies with excellent view in the garden and the sea. The area inside and outside was very clear. Everything was in order and ready to use. The price was very reasonable and for sure we will come back in the near future. We strongly recommend Villa Porto Matzavino for vacation and relax.

A true Greek sea and countryside experience for families!

Coming to Porto Matzavino, we felt we had arrived at our favorite Greek aunt's home on the sea. Kiki is such a gracious host and does everything to please you. She will cook for you, make boating or other reservations for you and give you maps and suggestions for day trips. We were a party of six: 4 adults and a 2 and 7 year old; so the 3 bedrooms worked perfectly for us. Each bedroom has its own balcony, 2 of the rooms have twin beds and one has a queen bed. The twin rooms are smallish while the queen is large and has its own en-suite while the other 2 share the upper bathroom. The house also has a large covered veranda off of the main living area that overlooks the lawn, trees and rose lined stone pathway to the sea gate which opens directly onto the beach and lovely calm, warm water bay. Great for families!! We spent a lot of time enjoying the beach and easy access to house for naps and snacks. The location demands a car as you are surrounded by nothing but lovely green hills, and little olive groves and farms, and Porto Matzavino consists of about 12 very small fishing boats tied to a small jetty that you can easily walk to. You can also explore the coast with the house kayak, Our grandson says not to forget the kitties! And the wonderful veggie garden for farm to table freshness! All in all we all felt it was a unique and very fun family experience.

Exellent

Villa Porto Matzavino is great. The surrounding area is peaceful. In only 3-4 km is Vonitsa where you can buy fresh vegetables, fishes etc. In Vonitsa you can eat, drink coffees just in front of the sea. There are banks, service stations, health center, police station etc. Vonitsa is a very beautiful town with an impressive castle. Villa Porto Matzavino has a beautiful garden between the building and the sea shore. The visitors are able to buy olive oil, olive and wine from the owner. All the above products came from the Villa garden. There are beautiful palm trees just before the seashore which gives an excellent impression. The building is just in front of the sea (almost 10 meters) where the visitors can swim. The waters was clean. There was a private kiosk just for the visitors of the Villa. There you can relax after the swimming. Visitors can go for fishing with a motorboat which is free and use the canoe just for fun. During in our visit we saw dolphins. The area is recommended for families with small children. The owner was extremely friendly. She prepare for us a very tasteful meal with local shrimps and fishes. Shrimps and fishes same from Ambracian gulf which is famous for those. The building was very clean. The rooms were comfort and clean. Everything was in order and ready to use. The Villa is a two level building. The first level is the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. The second level there were three rooms. Villa has three bathrooms. There are big and very comfortable balconies with excellent view in the garden and the sea. There was a fire place and heating and therefore Villa Porto Matzavino is a very good destination for the winter also. We feel like our homes. We feel very comfortable and we consider the owner as a part of us. The owner was polite and educated. The rent was reasonable and will came back in the near future for our summer vacations. We strongly recommend Villa Porto Matzavino for summer and for autumn vacation and relax.

The best experience ever!

We spent in Villa Porto Matzavino from 26-29 May . I am medical doctor and I am traveling a lot. I decided to spend some days in my country and I had great time in Villa. The reality is much better than the pictures. Every detail inside villa or in the garden were full of excellent taste. Villa has three comfortable bedrooms, a wonderful living room, and a very nice kitchen that includes everything that a home needs. We had also the opportunity to cook and to use the barbecue. The house was very clean and pleased and all the rooms have a wonderful view of the sea and the garden. Villa has an excellent garden with local products and the client can also buy oil, olive and wine from Kiki the owner. The coast is just in front of the villa. The swimming was enjoyable, safe and the water was very clean. The coast line was terrific and safe. For free was a motorboat which I use it for fishing. The sea was full of fishes. The Ambracian Gulf is famous for the tasteful shrimps and fishes. There was a private kiosk that we had relax after the swimming. Kiki the owner offer us olives and wine that were delicious. In the first day Kiki cooked for us Greek amazing traditional food that was also delicious. Kiki which has been very helpful treated us with great care and hospitality. Amazing location in terms of privacy and relax as well as visiting nearby villages. I strongly recommended. I will definitely be back very soon.

A great place to escape from it all

We spent two weeks at Porto Matzavino: us, kids and visiting grandma's. The villa is set in a small picturesque secluded bay off the coast road that you rarely share with more than a few locals. The villa itself is spacious and pleasantly simple and is well run by the owner Kiki. She will offer you local tips on where to go and what's going on and is charming. Ten minutes drive away is Vonitsa which is good for provisions and an evening drink on the harbour. Twenty minutes away is Lefkafa which is more charming and offers a decent range of restaurants and bars and a splash of nightlife if you fancy.

Wonderful Greek getaway holidays

Spent 5 nights here in the exceptional care of Vasiliki, what a wonderful getaway at the end of the summer season. From the initial email of enquiry to our last transfer to the port courtesy of the owner we were treated like special friends. The three bedroom villa was spotless comfortable & cool in its furnishings.The position of the villa gives it stunning views over the beach & sea, & we were lucky enough to have clear starry nights. You can find anything you need, nearby at Vonitsa and our rotation cooking system between girls didnt bother our relaxing swimming time.All you need is your car to visit all the places nearby, Lefkada, Preveza and of course ancient Nikopolis.Strongly recommended for families or groups of couples. All in all a lovely gem on west Greece which we would love to return to. Thank you Porto Matzavino. Stayed September 2015.

Our holdays at Porto Mantzavino

We stayed in Villa Porto Mantzavino for two weeks in May 2013 and had fantastic time. The house and the surroundings completely fulfilled our expectations. We are definitely thinking to return to this place sometimes in the future. More detailed review can be found bellow. House Villa Porto Mantzavino well suited for families with two children. It is equipped with all necessary appliances and offers a very comfortable accommodation. There is a plenty of space to park your car and even a barbeque can be found at the back of the house. The house was cleaned upon our arrival and fresh towels and bed linens were provided every four days . Location: The best point of this villa is probably its location. Just ifront of the sea there is a nice (almost private) pebble beach with crystal clear waters where you can swimm any time of the day. Very short distance from the Villa you will find excellent restaurants. The service is really friendly and you will find fresh fish and other local specialities every day near by ,or you can arrange with the owner a lunch when ever you need , this is extra. Strongly recommended. If you are looking for a Greek night, then we would advise you to go for a dinner to the island of Lefkada or Preveza (15 minutes by car). Take your time, enjoy slightly shorter distance Vonitsa( 5 minutes drive) or traditinal village Monastiraki . Archeological sites nearby we recomend AKTIO (Antonios& Kleopatra) or old town Nickopolis.
