Summary:

Just 2 km from the beaches of Stoupa, this retreat brings together open sea views and the relaxed atmosphere of the western Peloponnese.

The Space:

Emilia's Guest House occupies the upper floor of a traditional stone built property in the hills above Stoupa, where sea views and the landscape of Mani shape the atmosphere from the moment you arrive.

The living and dining area opens naturally into the kitchen, creating a comfortable setting for quiet evenings indoors after long days by the sea. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need during your stay, while the dining space is arranged for shared meals and slower mornings before heading out to explore the region.



Two bedrooms each include double beds, air conditioning, and large windows that bring in natural light throughout the day. The atmosphere remains calm and uncluttered, balancing comfort with the traditional character of the property. The bathroom includes shower and bright finishes while access to a shared washing machine means you can pack light and settle in comfortably.



Outside, the private balcony becomes one of the highlights of the stay, especially during sunrise and sunset when the sea and olive groves stretch out across the horizon toward Stoupa and Kardamyli. Guests also have access to the shared courtyard surrounded by trees and stone walls, creating another inviting outdoor setting during the warmer months. Pets are welcome, WiFi is available throughout, and parking is on site for added convenience during your stay.



An ideal destination for year-round vacations, perfect for families, friends, and couples.
