Wonderful villa. Close to a great beach.
My wife and I stayed at the villa for a week in September. The villa was very clean and the owners easy to deal with. The description on VRBO is accurate. The villa is located with a few others in a quiet olive grove in the small hamlet of Kamaria. The kitchen was quite well-equipped and nicely laid out. The bathrooms and showers were both spacious and there was lots of hot water. The bed we used was quite comfortable. The pool was still reasonably warm at this time of year, despite being unheated. It is big enough to swim a bit. The only issue we had with the villa was the slow wifi. It is good enough for email, but not all our phone apps would work over it.
There is a very nice large unspoiled beach with sandy bottom and gradual entry nearby. The village of Finakounta has a good supermarket with most things you need. Although it is possible to walk to the beach and the supermarket, unless you are quite fit you will find the walk back up hill to the villa hard, especially if it is hot. A car is recommended.
There are many interesting historic places to visit, such as the castles in Methoni, Pylas and Koroni and Nestor's Palace in Ithoni. Further afield is the ancient city of Messene. The town of Koroni is interesting place to walk around.
We would recommend the villa without reservation.
