Excellent choice! The house is warm, beautiful and made with great taste by the owners! He was impressed the fact that he was completely equipped and there was nothing that we need and not already in the house! We really felt like at home. Still, the location is very convenient as it is in the center of Stemnitsa. Finally, the owner very cooperative and polite. Thank you very much for the hospitality! We will definitely revisit!

Our stay was excellent. The house, a stone, a typical example of architecture of the area, built in 1873, fantastic, clean and fully equipped with all the necessities. Constantly discovering something new .. The village is also very pretty and quiet. The combination of residence and the village must for tranquility and relaxation.

It will be a long review... I need to introduce us first, we are a couple with a 13 month old baby boy who just started walking and we need kitchen utilities and appliances to prepare some of his food... That's why we needed to book a house instead of a hotel room. About the house, it's super. Everything as described, it has all one needs, placed at a very convenient location, all great. Only problem, the fireplace's window door is broken and if you light it, the smoke comes out and fills the house, making it hard to breathe. Maybe it was the wind that made it worse for us.. I need to make clear that we booked the house after having exchanged a few messages with the owner, easy and fast. The same week we were about to visit our destination, Stemnitsa, the owner gave us the phone number of the cleaning lady and told us to communicate with her before our arrival. So we never met him nor would we have any physical contact during our staying. The problem started at the second day of our 6 nights staying.. when it began to snow and everything was covered in white. Freezing temperatures, way below 0. We woke up the third day and the pipes were frozen, leaving us with not a single drop of water. Cold or hot. As soon as we realized it we called the cleaning lady and she told us she would step by and she what she could do. Truth is we left the house for a drive to have lunch and when we returned it was evident that the woman had tried to fix the problem, while we were absent. There were pots with water in the kitchen, bucket at the bathroom, at the front door.. But still no water supply. The owner, knowing from early that day that we didn't have any water, never contacted us, not even out of plain politeness, neither to show some level of interest. As a host, someone would expect that he would have made at least one phone call, to express some sympathy and a willing to help, for the appearances if not for real.. On the contrary, it was us who contacted him at night that day, sending a message through airbnb,asking him if there's something that can be done and after that he finally called us. He started saying that everywhere in the world peope let the taps running when it's freezing cold, trying to made us look like complete idiots, rudely and aggressively enough, before letting us say one word he added he had done whatever was possible (he meant the cleaning lady) and told us that's is all up to us.. to suggest a different solution. That's when he let us speak our first word. Very kindly we said that unfortunately we don't know any technical solutions and probably we need to check in a hotel cause there would be probably...

Very beautiful house. Just as described! Warm and welcoming place .. Highly recommended!

Beautiful and comfortable house in an equally pleasant place. Excellent base for visiting the gorges and the monasteries of Lousios. Susanna It has been always helpful and attentive to our needs: thanks to you too ... And the pleasant meals on plateia the country, with the equally pleasant coffee, sweets nut ... and it goes on!

Fantastic service from arrival to breakfast and check-out. The accommodations are simple but clean and comfortable, and the location is very convenient for hiking the Menalon Trail. Overall a great host and a good value.

The rooms were fantastic and the breakfast wonderful!

My stay was excellent. The room was small but clean and had an amazing view over the town, mountains and valleys. My host was extremely helpful and kind. The house was very stylishly decorated and there was an array of different foods available for breakfast. I would definitely recommend this as a base for exploring the mountains and local tourist sites.

We really had a nice stay in Stemnitsa. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful. Also a killer-breakfast that brightens up the rainy sky!

Fantastic location, looking out over the whole village, and valleys & mountains beyond. Great room with everything you need. Five star breakfast in the morning. Lots of useful advice about what to do and how to get around. Anyone looking for a superb base for a bit of hiking on the Menalon Trail, this is the place.

A HOUSE BEAUTIFUL SPACIOUS VERY HOT FOR 10 PEOPLE! IN OUR OPINION NEEDS A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THE SUBJECT OF CLEANING!

Very beautiful house! Much nicer than it looks in pictures. Panos evgenesta Tosh and very helpful. Excellent choice!

The house was perfect! Very nice and warm. He had everything he needed to spend a perfect weekend (URL HIDDEN) table, view. It is a very good location, quiet but close to all. Panos was tremendously helpful. We waited in the evening we arrived with fresh bread, milk and cookies. Home recommend highly!

The host was very helpful and polite. The house was better than prrimename in very good location in the village.

Great host and great house!! Awesome place to stay in a convenient and quite area, only a couple of minutes’ walk from the main square. Our host Panos was very responsive and provided everything we needed including some good recommendations for getting around! We loved the house and surrounding grounds, including the beautiful garden, that were very well maintained and fully equipped (from cutlery to games for the kids!). A few steps around the house but happy to get some exercise. Overall, a fantastic experience and would happily go back!

Very cozy and warm home, with amenities. Ideal for groups! At minus is the lack of easy access by disabled and strollers and there was wifi. General was beautiful with fantastic views to the village! Highly recommended !!!

The house was spacious and at a perfect location. Very close to the central square . The house was really cosy and spacious , well equiped and the beds were comfortable. Clean, rustic atmosphare with a great view. Overal it was a great experience...

Perfect 3-storey house. Welcoming, very friendly, clean and well equipped. What to say about Panos; (Host), from the first time makes you feel that you know each other a long time, kindly and always available Mr. willing to meet our needs! Below I will mention a few of the many positives that I could write about this house: -very warm home to all floors from the first minute that we were there (and with temperatures from -2 to -9) -zesto water for the entire duration we were at home (and for 6atoma) -the unique view Equipped for every kind of need us (table of all kinds, wood for the fireplace, coffee, towels, detergents, pharmacy, etc. many of which I can not remember) -pentakatharo throughout. Actually we were looking for a negative to this house but could not find anything remarkable. (If you only had to mention something only I would say would be the soundproofing but not personally bother me especially in such pare'i'stikes holidays) Thank you very much Panos for hosting and besides being certain that we will visit again for sure how well it would recommend and acquaintances and friends unconditionally !!!

Wow! This is an absolutely lovely house--actually "home" is a much better word--in every way. The top floor, where you enter from the street (with parking area), has a large living/dining room and open kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more, and Vassilis kindly left ground coffee, an absolutely wonderful local bread, some juice, milk and cookies. Next level down has three large bedrooms with comfortable double beds and two bathrooms. Level below that has another bathroom and family room. On every level, there are balconies and terraces overlooking the lovely town of Stemnitsa. Everything in the house is of the absolute highest quality and workmanship. Stemnitsa is easily accessible coming either from Athens or, as we were, from Koroni (with a must-do stop at Ancient Messeni.) The town is fun to explore, with two tavernas, some small stores, a Jewelry College and shops selling quite beautiful products of local jewelers. It is also a perfect base for hiking, including but not limited to hikes to the two monasteries in the Luiosos Gorge. Those were quite an experience, as was ancient Gortys, where we waded in the (very cold) stream where stories say Zeus was bathed. On the way, you also get a chance to explore nearby Dimetsana, another pretty mountain town. Highly recommend to others visiting the Peloponnese region. MUCH cooler than the coast in August, that's for sure. Vassilis is a charming and interesting host. It was great to talk with him and his mother, who lives next door. And the people of the town were very friendly, sharing stories from their lives. Can't recommend a visit enough!

Vassilis is an amazing host. The house is beautiful, spotless and in an amazing location. We spent two nights in the house and wish we could stay much longer. He really provides a unique experience and stands out from most hosts by the level of attention and welcoming. If it isn't already in your plans, you should go out of your way and stay here.

The most hospitable Vassilis makes one feel very welcome to his very high quality house. One could easily spend a week in this perfectly appointed house. With passion Vassilis wants to share his Greece with visitors.

We had the most wonderful experience staying at Vassili's place. Vassili is an excellent host making us feel comfortable and welcome even before arriving to his place and the house is truly a home away from home. The highlight of the trip was actually the cosy moments around the fireplace! Vassili thank you for everything and we hope we will be able to return soon!

Vassilis is a very welcoming host, and his house is just the perfect mountain retreat, situated at the edge of a quaint village. Stemnitsa's centre can be reached in 5 minutes, following a nice path hidden behind the houses of the upper village. The house is spacious, quiet and very well equipped. And the view is stunning.

Τελειο μερος....ευχαριστη διαμονη

We did not meat with Mina but she was very helpful and prompt via Email and text. The place is exactly what we expected in the middle of a lovely little mountain village. If you want a place to get away from it all with very friendly locals you could do far worse than here.

Great house in a lovely village. It is very well equipped and comfortable. It is lovely to have a little terrace facing out onto a field of sheep! We did not meet Mina but she is a kind, thoughtful and communicative host. We had some great hikes in the gorge, and also visited some of the lovely towns in the area such as Stemnitsa, Dimitsana, Karitaina and Andritsana. We also did a day trip to Olympia. Highly recommended.

Elliniko is a charming village up in the mountains. In September when we visited, there did not seem to live many people though. The village's silence is just broken by the church clock which keeps you in track of the time from 8 in the morning to 10 in the evening. The location is perfect for those who plan to visit the, very nearby, Lousios Gorge. It is an apartment that shows it is renovated with love. It has a small veranda with a table and some chairs, looking at its vegetable garden and the rest of the village. Above the apartment, is another house but now one was living there, as far as we could see. The bed is very comfortable, as is the couch. The kitchen has a toaster, kettle, oven and electric plates so that, with the pans available, you can prepare your meals. There was oil, salt, pepper, coffee, tea and sugar waiting for us. The house was clean and the towels very comforting. Mina was not there to welcome us and also an explanation sheet was missing but when I contacted her, someone from the village came over to explain how the boiler worked. Two things to mention: we could not find a shop in the village so you have to drive to the nearby village, about 6 km away, to buy bread, milk etc.The WiFi is a public WiFi which you cannot connect to from inside the house or its garden.

Wonderful place! I will recommend this to my friends.

Mina's and Elleniko (the village) has been one of the most special experience we had in Greece. Although we did not meet Mina in person, she has been super responsive and we easily found the house, which is a wonderful traditional stone house with a charming terrasse opening a view on a vineyard with goats and sheeps. The place has everything you need, including a comfortable bed and a fully equipped kitchen (in case you would wish to take a break from the delicious tavernas in the village!). Elleniko is the perfect place for anyone willing to discover Loussios Gorges and their hidden Monasteries -- hidden gems we were delighted to discover and hike across for three days. It's much less touristic that Stemnitsa and Demistana, has a "local" feel, best food and tavernas (and a wonderful place to have a breakfast before hiking !). We would definitely go back there and highly recommend to include this place in your Greek and / or Peloponnesian trip!

Mina was very responsive, replied to email within minutes. The house is charming ground floor, located in medieval village in the middle of Peloponnese. We were absolutely "sold". There is a patio with access from kitchen and family room. Everything spotless. The village is all clad with stones (houses, roads, everything); very quite and picturesque. We made at least 100 photos there. Nearby is good wadi with hiking trails, monasteries.

The host canceled this reservation 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The guesthouse in Elliniko was precisely as we expected, a spacious room which was very cool, clean and lovely. We can really recommend this guesthouse to others. You can visit a most spectaculair monastry called Prodromos and the Lousios river.

Thanos was very helpful. We did not need anything special apart from some details about where is the house. The quiet village with views of the mountain nature. The location is ideal as a base for mountain hiking as it is next to trails Lousios and near the water power museum.

Nice accommodation in beautiful surroundings.

We did not have the best experience at Thanos' place, due to an electrical shortage and the presence of small insects. Thanos was really comprehensive and had someone resolve the electrical issue. We would recommand this house for summer time, and to visit the Lousios valley/Dimitsana (The location is perfect for this).

Very comfortable and clean house, near Dimitsana and the paths of Lucius. Thanos was very helpful and polite.

Ideal for calm and dash the many trails. Quiet and picturesque neighborhood above the Lousios river. The house was comfortable and clean. It was quite cold when we arrived but warmed by the fireplace and stove. Thanos was helpful and willing to help on the what we needed.

The impressions of the house is positive, without heating problems. Communicating with Thanos, to what we needed, we were no problem and prompt service. The location is ideal for calm and for excursions in nature and in the neighboring villages.

We had a difficult time finding the house , partially because the pictures didn't show the correct house. Fortunately the neighbours helped us find it. When we entered the house there was a strong smell of moth balls (naphtaline); the house was clean but very basic: nothing to make us feel welcomed, basic things were lacking ( no trash can, no dish towels..) ; the equipment in the house is good ( sheets, towels, ..) the air cooling systems works. It is in quiet area, but it is impossible to seat outside without any garden chairs or finished terrace.. We stayed only one of two nights and left because the moth balls chemical smell bothered me.

I do not have virtually no complaints, although exceptions to lack of towels and insulated sheets and the humidity of the house upon our arrival, which with aircondition and stove encountered. The hosts were very helpful and had available to help. Raki on the table as extra touch in particular won! The recently anepyfylakta for some who need calm comBined some excursions to the mountains.

Hot and omorfo.Sto center of choriou.kali exypiretisi.Kalo breakfast. Poor soundproofing

The room is very well located in the village. It is very clean, cozy, niquel! Please note during the winter it seems that breakfast is not up to the description, we passed in November and we were treated to a brick orange juice in the fridge and a bag stuffed croissant. Too bad because we had no plans to add daily breakfast at our budget. Otherwise Home at the top, we had advice hike from the proprietress of the bar on the way to the guesthouse. The other guests were lovely and were concerned for our comfort in every game.

Lia was an amazing host!!! Thank you so much! She made our stay in Dimitsana so welcoming and amazing! The house was beautiful, clean, and even better than described. The view was mesmerising ! I would highly recommend Lia and her place to anyone interested in going to Dimitsana or just in need of a beautiful escape! We will never forget her and our stay!

We had a faboulous stay at Lia's house. It is so well kept and equipped we wished it was our own!! The view from the windows is amazing. We also received exceptional service from Lia, beginning with Easter treats she generously left us, and continuing with personal recommendations and problem solving! We would recommend this house to anyone.

Great house with amazing mountain view. Lia was very helpful and assisted us with anything we needed. would highly recommend! We will be back!

It is a beautiful house with all amenities. Even more beautiful when one looks closely, and much more when living in it. Five minutes walk from the center of Dimitsana and spectacular view of it. The living area is truly breathtaking. The whole house is very large and creates you a pleasant tranquility, the furnishings and lighting. Also it was always hot enough and always had hot water. Lia is excellent as a man and as a hostess. Has equipped the house with almost all electrical appliances and various goodies and our stay there was even better. Thank you very much, would definitely xanaepistrepsoume and looking forward to it.

A beautiful traditional guesthouse in the center of Dimitsana. The room was very clean and cosy. Angeliki was very helpful and always available for everything we needed.

The room was very nice, breakfast was rich and the hostel was very beautiful location.

Very beautiful hostel in a very convenient location in Dimitsana. The space very zestos- particularly important in winter and very clean and comfortable. The service and communication with the perfect hostess as she is gracious and welcoming. We had an issue with Wi-fi, however, we were informed that it was a matter of the company and just happened days we were there to be some malfunction. I highly recommend and will xanaprotimiso I meant in my next visit to the region.

Everything was TELEIA..POLY GOOD HOSPITALITY BY OIKODESPOTES AND THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL AND KATHARO.DIPLA IN THE VILLAGE CENTER. NEAR (URL HIDDEN) RECOMMEND unreservedly.

We visited Dimitsana leisure. The hosts responded immediately to our questions and the room is very well located and was very stylish with wood and stone. but we struggled to warm up as the frames entering the cold and bitterly disappointed by the bathroom which did not correspond to the photos we had seen. He was small and without a shower or bath. Also breakfast in the dining room was not the case. Instead there were some packages (toast, Voutirakis, marmeladitses) in the room.

Very nice place, clean and very picturesque houses. The only issue you have is the wifi which is not too strong so that they could use it in the room. Otherwise everything was nice.

Kosta's hostel is simply great! Stone, traditional with all the amenities, especially the beds are excellent. Being in Dimitsana in the center still came and picked us up from the main road and showed us a good place for parking. Kostas greeted us with a smile and good mood and gave us tips on what to do and mU to go in the area. Certainly we would prefer it again!
