NEW FOR 2025


Every time we visit the Peloponnese we are struck by the incredibly high quality of the accommodation, and the Messinian Nest villas are some of the most beautifully-designed we have seen in the whole region. Each has their own pool and grounds, and all have incredible views.

One of just five luxury properties on a very large, hill-top plot, Villa Ruby enjoys fabulous panoramic views across the Gialova lagoon to the iridescent blue of the Ionian beyond. The sense of space here is a joy, with high ceilings and vast expanses of glass to let the light flood in. The interiors have been very skilfully designed so you enjoy maximum comfort with minimum clutter, leaving you free to relax by the pool or on your balcony, and simply enjoy this uniquely privileged position. Each bedroom is naturally en suite, and the beds can be made up as twins or king-sized doubles, offering great flexibility for your group.

The villas aim to meet the highest guest expectations, and come with a host of optional extra services and benefits, from pre-arrival grocery shopping to yacht charters, restaurant reservations and reduced green fees at the four prestigious Costa Navarino golf courses a short drive away around the bay.

Beyond the luxury of your Nest, there are sandy beaches all around the fringes of sheltered Navarino bay, the nearest being at Gialova just a seven-minute drive away. Gialova is a pretty and family-friendly coastal village, with a great choice of cafes and restaurants and a sandy, gently shelving beach. Just a few kilometres further is Voidikilia, a perfect crescent of sand lapped by turquoise sea. The whole of Navarino bay is designated a Zone of Special Protection, which keeps beaches like Voidikilia blissfully unspoilt, and adds to the huge appeal of this entire beautiful region.


In Greece, a tourist tax may apply at your accommodation which will be payable locally, in cash, during the course of your holiday. Please use the link to view details specific to your accommodation. View tourist tax rates here.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.

Considering a holiday in the Peloponnese? Welcome to a land of golden beaches, crimson sunsets and cerulean seas, where myth intertwines with history and the past is ever-present. This spectacular region lies at the southern tip of the Greek mainland, with three peninsulas reaching out towards Crete, each offering a slightly different Peloponnese holiday experience. The whole area is blissfully unspoilt and blessed with some of the longest and best beaches in Greece.

With its tempting combination of high-quality accommodation and unspoilt landscapes, a luxury holiday in the Peloponnese has very wide appeal, whether you choose family-friendly Stoupa for its soft sandy beaches, discreetly upmarket Agios Nikolaos for its excellent restaurants or the Costa Navarino for its renowned golf courses and glorious coastline, featuring one of the most photographed beaches in all of Greece. With prices generally lower than the island destinations and quality that we consider to be unrivalled in Greece, the Peloponnese is highly recommended for luxury holidays.
