In the inside dining area the table can be pulled out to accommodate more people. AC in the bedrooms. 1 downstairs bedroom with a double bed and a view of the olive trees. 1 downstairs bedroom with 2 single beds and doors that open onto the garden and pool. 1 downstairs bathroom with a shower, washbasin, and toilet. 1 upstairs bedroom with a double bed.

The villa has a large 2600 m2 garden, part of this is terrace, part is olive grove and part has flowers and some fruit trees. There are herbs like oregano, rosemary and thyme just outside the kitchen for you to add to your meals.

The garden is closed by a gate in the shape of a wave.

Is this your kind of holiday? Maybe we can tell you why we like Villa To Kyma and it's location in Stoupa so much. We wanted to be somewhere where we could experience the feeling of freedom and authenticity. Being in an olive grove in a house built of natural stone was a good start. The view added the final touch. Of course we also wanted to enjoy some of the village life without sitting in a car too long. The beach is close by. Our children are teenagers and they can go to the beach and into town on their own. We like Stoupa, and also Agios Nikolaos, for the scenery and the friendly Greek people, especially to children. The towns are lively. They attract families, sun lovers, hikers, pensioners etc from various nationalities, including Greeks themselves. English is spoken everywhere in Stoupa. We have tried to equip the villa in such a way as to make your holiday enjoyable and to make you feel at home. And we are very interested in hearing your reactions!

The villa is listed with the Greek National Tourist Organisation: MHTE 1249K91000268501.

Beautiful classy Villa
Villa is in a lovely location above Stoupa. It is a 10 minute walk down to Central stupa with its restaurants and bars, but you hear nothing in Villa The pool is lovely with a shallow area and a deeper section 1.6m. It was really good for family messing about. The bedrooms have air-conditioning, which works well and the upstairs balcony is lovely, very cool in the mornings. The internal decoration is lovely, classy with lots of interesting books to browse through. The outside area was also excellent.

Lovely villa in a fascinating area
We thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight in the villa. It's very comfortable, excellent air-conditioning in the bedrooms, lots of lovely places to sit and relax by the pool or on the balcony. Pool is a good size - big enough for teenagers to swim and enjoy themselves. There was lots of useful information in the villa and tips for interesting days out. We particularly enjoyed exploring and eating in the mountain villages. Sonia was very easy to communicate with and full of advice. We'd love to come back!

amazing getaway
We had an absolutely delightful week at the Villa. The property and the house are very charming; after a hot exploring the villa was a little oasis of calm and beauty. The views from the balcony in the morning made it hard to leave! The house is decorated in a very warm style--it is not all from Ikea like so many other rental houses! I cannot recommend it enough. Sonia provided so many resources at the house of things to do in the area we easily could have stayed another week.

The first 2022 booking
A top property, well-equipped, well-loved with everything in working order. A good-size pool (and a daily unobtrusive check) was a popular item, even though the weather and water was a tad cool. Set in olive groves with the nearest neighbour way out of sight children could scream in the pool without disturbing anyone. With a lovely village and beach just a short walk away and places to visit without spending hours in the car, this is a top spot for a family holiday.

Paradise found
Communication was unbelievably quick and responsive. Property was extremely well stocked and provided great resources on things to do locally. Everything was as advertised and as per photos and better. The house and pool were immaculate. Many great beaches were nearby and restaurants in Kardymili were varied and quite inexpensive. This is a great base to tour the Mani and lower peninsula. I recommend a small car the driving up into the mountain villages. People were most friendly and glad to see tourists. The appointments inside and outside the house were unique and very well though out. Views from the upstairs patio were expansive and sundowns were magnificent. Great supermarkets, gas stations etc all very close by. Your could not find a better house in this area.

Lovely villa in a great location
We really enjoyed our stay at To Kyma and loved the Mani. The villa is really private and has every facility for a really enjoyable holiday. The pool was superb. The owner was really helpful and informative and the welcome pack and all the little touches provided were very much appreciated. There are so many places to visit in the Mani. We especially loved Areopoli, Itylo, Kastania, Vathia and will be back to explore more. Stoupa was a bit too crowded for us but we enjoyed the beach at the far southern end and the toasted baguettes at the self service little cafe were great.

Lovely homely villa, perfectly situated, with superb pool and gardens
We’re a family of four with grown-up children (20 and 18), just back from a wonderful week at Villa To Kyma. The property is set in beautiful gardens with a stunning pool area. The interior is homely and comfortable, with stylish and original decorative touches. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. From the upstairs balcony the views are amazing at any time, but particularly in the evening as the sun sets over the Messenian peninsula. One thing I would say worth a special mention is the wealth of information on a huge variety of topics, provided in the property; most of it personally collected or produced by the owners. This provided inspiration and practical guidance to really help us get the most from our holiday. Sonia also provided additional information and ideas by personal email. It’s clear that she and her family have a great passion for and knowledge of the area. It was our first trip to the Mani, and we fell in love with it - we’re already plotting how we can get back there as soon as possible. The combination of beautiful coastline, picturesque villages, historical sites and a rugged, spectacular inland mountain landscape makes for a great combination. In one of the many highlights of our trip, my son and I got up early to avoid the heat and went for an unforgettable hike and scramble round the stunning Viros Gorge. Within an hour in any direction you can reach a hugely varied area with natural beauty and historical sites. The setting and surroundings of the villa with its wonderful garden and pool also mean that you can of course simply stay put and relax! The villa is also situated really well to enjoy local beach / taverna life. It’s about a 15 minute walk into Stoupa, a lively resort with a wide range of tavernas and restaurants. Within a couple of minutes drive you can reach a superb supermarket and bakery. About 10 minutes drive takes you to Agios Nikolaos, a lovely fishing village, or in the opposite direction, charming and genteel Kardamyli. All in all would recommend without hesitation. Thanks again Sonia, we had a fantastic and memorable family holiday. Jonathan, Rachael, Holly and George Cook.

Lovely rustic villa in beautiful olive grove setting
We had a super holiday, the villa and pool are fab, villa is full of character. Stoupa beaches are lovely. Stoupa itself is not too spoilt, but still plenty of good tavernas and bars, average age of holidaymaker is quite high in September, maybe not too much nightlife for the youngsters!

Relaxing summer break
We had a wonderful hot week here. A first visit to the area for us but not the last. The villa was lovely- great pool, lovely location and wonderful views from the first floor balcony over the sea and the coastline- great sunsets. Stoupa is a gem- lovely resort with plentiful restaurants and good for vegetarians- always something on the menu. The staff at all local restaurants were very friendly and helpful. The beach at Kalogria is wonderful, crystal clear water. The guide books say that the water is cold because of being fed by natural cold springs but if you are used to swimming in the UK coastal waters as we are, it is certainly not cold. It felt very safe to swim at Kalogria and the views back to the mountains from the sea are truly stunning. A lovely area- there was so much to do and see but since it was so hot we mostly stayed local. There were many very helpful books on Greece and the area in the villa. The villa itself is very private and peaceful (once you have mentally tuned out from the sound of the cicadas) and is thoroughly recommended. We would certainly love to return.

Delightful villa in a lovely town
We visited for 10 days in April and had the pleasure of great weather, sunny but not too hot, and not too busy so we were able to enjoy the areas great hiking, biking and beaches in perfect conditions. People of this area are extraordinarily welcoming and one reason why we had such a delightful time. The villa itself was perfect for us and our two teenagers with plenty of room inside and out for everyone to chill out, but cosy in evening around the open fire as it was quite cool in the evenings. It was a wonderfully relaxing 10 days and we'd highly recommend both the villa and the area.

Absolutely wonderful Villa enjoyed by all of the family
Just returned from a two week family break at Villa to Kyma which was absolutely fantastic. The Villa has everything you would wish for and suitably sized for four adults and two children aged 15 and 10, with fantastic views towards Stoupa/Sea. The outside is also very spacious with a reasonably sized pool which was excessively used by all. A steady 15 minute walk away will take you to Stoupa Boulevard where there are ample of restaurants and bars to choose from. The sea is shallow for approximately 10 meters and then rapidly drops. Two Sun beds and one parasol will cost 7 euros but comes with waiter service for food and drinks which is reasonably priced. A short drive away c.4 km is the beautiful fishing village of Agios Nikolaos where we visited a number of times for lunch along the Port. A big thank you to Sonia who was always at hand to answer any questions and advise on suitable car hire. A truly memorable holiday...

Rustic and great location
This was our first time to Greece and when we arrived at the villa it was better than the photographs. Opening the 'wave' gates you are greeted by a rustic, traditional stone built villa with a lot of charm. The villa had all the amenities required and was in a great location being approximately 20 minutes walk down into Stoupa. Stoupa itself is a wonderful town/village with a horseshoe bay and an abundance of restaurants and cafe bars. The coastal walk to Agios Nikolaos was beautiful and Agios itself is a wonderful little harbour. Vesuvius restaurant is well worth a visit. We tried several of the restaurants in Stoupa and all were very similar, with a good varied menu although fresh fish appeared a little short on supply. Would highly recommend here if you want somewhere quiet and the villa is an excellent way to spend your days relaxing in the sun by the pool with a nice cold drink. Many thanks to Soniar for her hospitality and communication throughout.

Fabulous villa!!!
Fabulous villa, just as lovely as photos. Beautiful villa with stunning views of mountains and sea, especially stunning views from upper balcony and so peaceful. Very well equipped, lovely decor. Lovely outdoor dining space with plenty of outdoor furniture and lovely pool, lit at night and kept spotlessly clean. We didn't have a car but managed the walk to beach and supermarket about 15 minutes each way for both. Supermarket delivers and gives you lift back too. This is one of the best villas we have stayed in and we will definitely return.

Fantastic vacation in Villa To Kyma
Villa To Kyma is a very nice two stories house and can easily accommodate 6 people. We passed a wonderful week in the house and in Stoupa. The house is placed next to a beautiful olive plantation and is very private. The pool is fantastic, and kept very clean. Our daughters and we spent quite a lot of time there :) In the evenings, we very much enjoyed watching spectacular sunsets over Stoupa, with a view of the sea and the mountains, from the balcony. The location is very convenient, only a few minutes drive from "downtown" Stoupa with its beaches, cafés and restaurants. Sonia is the greatest of hosts, always taking time to answer any questions one might have or advise on things to do in the area and beyond. I don't think we would have discovered as much of the area and gotten as much out of our trip without her suggestions. To summarise, we would warmly recommend Villa To Kyma if you are looking to rent a house in Stoupa.
