Hestia is set just above the beautiful water-front village of Kardamilli, in the Mani Peninsula area of mainland Greece

Kardamili is 7 minutes by car (or 25 minutes on foot using the ancient cobbled streets of Kardamili but a hard up hill return) – you can swim from the harbour here where there are relatively few boats and the water is beautiful or just 1 minute further on you can swim at Ritsa beach, a long pebbly shoreline with a couple of delicious tavernas dotted along it
The pretty beach of Kalamitsi (the one just below the Patrick Leigh Fermor House) is 10 minutes by car
Unesco site of Mystras, the Medieval Byzantine City is 2hrs by car
Olympia is 2.5 hours’ drive away
Kalamata is 1 hour by car

Fly direct to Kalamata Airport

Hestia is roughly a 1hr drive from the airport.

Alternatively, you can fly to Athens Airport, which is a 3 hour car journey away.

There’s something magical about mornings on the roof terrace and long, lazy evenings around the open-air kitchen while the sky turns pink over the sea. The separate cottages and private guest suite make it ideal for multi-generational families or friends holidaying together, giving everyone their own space while still feeling connected. Add a heated pool, boules at sunset and spontaneous swims at nearby Ritsa Beach, and it’s the kind of place that quietly steals your heart.
