Peaceful retreat

We had an incredible family stay here. Before we even arrived Charles was being incredibly helpful in facilitating collecting a parcel for us. The property itself makes you relax immediately. The quiet location in amongst olive groves and the sea views and starry night skies were the stuff of dreams. We really appreciated the easy layout of the house, the firewood for the slightly chillier nights and the groceries that were thoughtfully provided. The beautiful dogs and cat were welcome occasional patio visitors and we will miss them. Hope to be back soon. Thanks so much Charles.

What a lovely home!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The view is amazing and the flowers on the porch are gorgeous. The owners are so friendly and helpful. I can't say enough positive things about them. No fault of theirs but sometimes there were dogs barking at night; however, that is hard to avoid anywhere one stays. Also, when they offer to show you the way to their home from the highway take them up on the offer! We tried to find the driveway on our own but finally gave up and called them. It is quite an adventure to get to their place but it is a fun adventure and one that is really well worth it. Kudos to this couple for having such a welcoming and lovely place for others to enjoy.

Ruhiger Urlaub mitten in der Natur

Das Haus und die Umgebung entsprechen völlig der Beschreibung. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Reagierte bei Bedarf sofort. Wir erhielten ein tolles Begrüßungsgeschenk u. A. Das hauseigene phantastische Olivenöl und Oliven. Leider konnten wir die schöne Terrasse nur bedingt nutzen, da zu unserer Zeit die Moskitos sehr aktiv waren. Der Moskitoschutz an den Fenstern ist optimal. Leider kein Schutz an den Türen.Die Anfahrt ist für ungeübte Fahrer herausfordernd, aber für Griechenland nicht unüblich.Wir hatten erholsame Tage.

sehr schönes Haus, sehr freundliche Vermieter

Sehr schön gelegenes Haus mit toller Aussicht. Die in anderen Bewertungen erwähnte Schotterpiste ist zwar gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber auch ohne Jeep und ohne Allradantrieb problemlos zu bewältigen (wir haben mit unserem Ford Mondeo schon Schlimmeres gemeistert). Nur tiefergelegte Autos könnten ein Problem haben. Außergewöhnlich freundliche Vermieter. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und geräumig. Nur ein Duschvorhang an der Badewanne würde vielleicht nicht schaden. Es ist ausreichend Platz in den Schränken vorhanden. Wenn auf der Hauptstraße von Süden kommt, führt einen Google Maps perfekt ans Ziel. Kommt man dagegen von Norden, sollte man sich erst die Anfahrtsbeschreibung der Mieter ansehen. Wer mit offenem Fenster schlafen will, muss sich allerdings auf etwas Hundegebell einstellen (war für uns kein Problem).

Ein herrlicher Ort mit wunderbaren Gastgebern. Wir wurden so herzlich empfangen und haben jeden Augenblick genossen. Das Haus ist das liebevoll hergerichtete Eigentum der Familie, am Hang zwischen den Olivenbäumen der Farm gelegen. Faszinierende Sonnununtergänge von der Terrasse!!!! Der Weg zum Grundstück ist ein Schotterweg, unser Mietauto hat es gut geschafft. Wir kommen sehr sehr gerne wieder!!!!

Ein kleines Paradies

Dieses Haus ist mit Abstand das am besten gepflegteste und ausgestattete Ferienhaus, das wir je gemietet hatten. Wir waren im Juni 2022 zu zweit dort. Charles und Ellie kümmern sich liebevoll um das Wohl ihrer Gäste und sind immer ansprechbar. Es gibt von Charles sehr gute Beschreibungen für Wanderungen in der Umgebung. Das Kochen in dieser super ausgestatteten Küche macht richtig Spass. In diesem Haus herrscht ein guter Geist und wir empfehlen es ohne jegliche Einschränkungen weiter und kommen gerne wieder.

Tolles Ferienhaus im Olivenhain mit großem Garten und schöner Aussicht

Wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder, 1 Hund) waren auf unserer Rundreise über die Peloponnes eine Woche in diesem Ferienhaus. Das Ferienhaus liegt inmitten eines Olivenhains oberhalb des Ortes mit einer tollen Aussicht über das Land bis aufs Meer. Die Vermieter wohnen auch auf dem Grundstück, sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir wurden toll empfangen, bekamen zur Ankunft gleich ein frisch gebackenes Brot und hatten auch sonst noch ein paar Lebensmittel für den ersten Snack bekommen. Die Strände in der Umgebung sind toll, Sand so weit das Auge reicht, und wenig besucht. Somit auch gut mit Hind geeignet. Die Anfahrt ist etwas abenteuerlich, da der letzte Abschnitt, ca. 300-400m aus einem stellenweise steilen, grob geschotterten Weg bestehen. Unser Auto (VW Passat) ist aber heil geblieben ;-) Jedoch wäre die Anfahrt nichts für sportliche oder tiefere Autos. Was man allgemein bei allen Ferienhäusern auf der Peloponnes berichten muss ist, dass es in der Umgebung viele kläffende Hunde gibt, was den eigenen Hund des öfteren dazu verleitet hat, etwas mitzubellen. Vielleicht ist uns das aber dieses Jahr nur verstärkt aufgefallen, da wir das erste mal mit dem eigenen Hund verreist sind. Nochmals Danke an Elli, Lexi und Charles für eine tolle Woche auf der Olivenfarm.

Magical holiday

We're just back from a magical holiday at The Olive Farm. Many precious memories were made for us and our young family and we're all in love with Greece. It was a pleasure to meet Charles, Ellie and Lexie and Patch and Tilly the dogs became extended family for the fortnight. The place has a wonderful energy and we just felt at home. We used the house as a base to explore the glorious South coastline and had a fabulous day in Olympia and many at the beach. Our most memorable day was when we caught an early ferry across to Kefalonia and hired a boat from the lovely George at George's Boats. A glorious day that we highly recommend. We most definitely will be back!

Erholung & Idylle mit Blick aufs Meer

Wir (2 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder) haben unsere zwei Wochen auf der Olive Farm sehr genossen. Haus und Terrasse bieten viel Platz, sind sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und bieten alles, was man braucht, bis hin zur Ferienlektüre (englisch), DVDs und Spielen. Auch das WLAN funktioniert solide. Dank Gasherd, großem Kühlschrank, Grill und Spülmaschine macht auch das Kochen Spaß. Wobei es genug gute Restaurants im Umkreis von 10 km gibt, um sich zwei Wochen durchzufuttern. Wir haben jedenfalls viele erholsame Stunden "zu Hause" verbracht und verspürten keinen Druck, möglichst viel Zeit am Strand oder unterwegs zu verbringen. Charles & Ellie waren vom ersten Moment an sehr hilfsbereit (als wir Schwierigkeiten hatten, die richtige Schotterpiste zu finden), und das zog sich die zwei Wochen durch. Wir fanden es super, sie in der Nähe zu wissen. Und vor allem die Kinder haben sich über den täglichen Besuch von mindestens einem Hund gefreut. Kato Samiko ist ein kleines Örtchen, dass außer zwei, drei einfachen Restaurants und einem Mini-Markt nicht viel zu bieten hat. Aber dafür trifft man selbst im Juli so gut wie nie auf andere ausländische Touristen. Der Sandstrand ist mit dem Auto nur ein paar Minuten von der Olivenfarm entfernt, zwei Strandbars sichern Sonnenschutz und Verpflegung und mehr oder weniger brauchbare Sanitäranlagen. Lohnende Ausflugsziele in der näheren Umgebung gibt es auch, allen voran natürlich Olympia. Aber auch Messene oder der Apollon-Tempel von Bassae sind gut zu erreichen. Kurz und gut: Für uns war es ein Volltreffer! Wir würden es genau so wieder machen.

Super Ferienhaus

Hier stimmt einfach alles. Wenn man sich erst einmal den Schotterweg hinaufgequält hat, findet man sich in einem stillen Olivenhain wieder. Ausstattung des Hauses ist Top; das liegt wahrscheinlich daran, dass die Familie selbst im Winter im Haus wohnt. Leider waren wir nur drei Tage da. Man hätte es auch länger aushalten können. Zu Fuß lässt sich freilich gar nichts erreichen, kein Laden, keine Kneipe. Ein Kleinod für alle, die absolute Ruhe und Erholung suchen

Perfektes Refugium

Nachdem wir bereits im letzten Sommer eine großartige Zeit in dieser abseits gelegenen Landhausvilla erlebt hatten (vgl. englischsprachige Bewertung: 2016), sind wir diesmal als "Wiederholungstäter" erneut voll des Lobes über dieses sehr gut ausgestattete Feriendomizil. Die Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig, hat viel Atmosphäre und ist bestens ausgestattet (die meisten DvDs und Bücher in engl. Sprache). In wenigen Autominuten erreicht man einen kilometerlangen, kaum frequentierten Sandstrand - und auch im angrenzenden, bergigen Hinterland lassen sich schnell viele wunderschöne Orte erreichen, z.B. Canyons, Wasserfälle, Bergklöster etc. Da wir immer gerne etwas Neues entdecken möchten, werden wir nächsten Sommer eine andere Gegend Griechenlands besuchen - aber in absehbarer Zeit möchten wir Ellie & Charles, unsere absolut freundlichen und vor allem hilfsbereiten Gastgeber, unbedingt wiedersehen. Für Individualreisende, die fernab vom Massentourismus bleiben wollen, ist das Haus sowie seine Umgebung das perfekte Refugium! Nochmals Dank an Lexi, Ellie & Charles und alles Liebe für Euch!

Olive farm stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the olive farm. It was exactly as we expected, and clean and very well equipped. Charles, Eleanor and Lexi (and their menagerie) were very welcoming as hosts, and extremely forthcoming with help and information, without ever being intrusive. A splendid, if slightly remote, location - the ancient sites of Olympia and Messini are within striking distance, and there are fantastic beaches nearby. There's also the bonus of constant butterfly visitors to the verandah! We would definitely recommend this property.

Superb hideaway

We spent 3 weeks at the Olive Farm, which is the perfect place to enjoy real peace and quiet - unless you mind bees humming, chickens cackling or crickets chirring. It was the kind of holiday when my wife and I were 'all on our own' as much as we wanted, but were still able to rely on help and advice from the very friendly and likeable owners when this was needed. The owners live 50 yards from the property, but this did not spoil the feel of 'being on our own' in lovely Greek nature. The property is spaceous, well-maintained and provides plenty of books (books galore and many DvDs), but also various board & card games. The front garden below the veranda offers many flowers - a real treat to the eyes. The location is ideal for both the typical beach holiday and for tours into the mountains: it is only a few minutes by car to the long, sandy coastline, where we saw only very few people (in fact, our next 'beach neighbours' were 200 or 300 yards away from us, so we felt like having our own private beach). In the mountains, we did fascinating day trips to waterfalls, canyons, and monasteries - the owners gave us brilliant tips on where to go and what to see and there is also a folder in the property with details about each trip. In a nutshell, it was just the kind of holiday we had dreamt of and we are already planning to return to this romantic place. We want to thank the owners, Eleanore and Charles, for their hospitality and kindness and do hope to see them again next summer! Marianne & Adalbert, Germany P.S.: When our rental car had a flat tyre and we had no equipment on board to change wheels, Charles came in no time - yes, on a Sunday! - to Zacharo, where we were stranded, and got us out of this calamity. This was just gallant, 'Sir Charles', we will always owe you! :-)

A place of tranquillity

I loved watching the sun set over the Mediterranean. Across the bay the lights come on like a glistening necklace around the shores of the island of Zakynthos. The surrounding olive groves whisper peace and say, we have been here for centuries and we welcome you. Within easy drives there are gorgeous, almost empty beaches. I hope to come again - and again - Deo volente.

Der Strand war fast leer. Es ist günstg gelegen für Ausflüge, der Vermieter hat sich große Mühe mit einer Mappe mit Ausflugszielen gemacht. Wir haben einen schönen Urlaub hier verbracht.

Great base from which to explore the region, a short drive from an enormous beach and the wonders of Olympia and there's even an ancient acropolis that you can walk to from the house. The Olive Farm has everything you need for a perfect stay - it's spacious and fitted out to a very high standard. Brilliant owners who are there to advise on local restaurants etc. Free dog isn't mentioned in the brochure nor were the pigs, cats, chickens who all put a shift to make you happy.

Great house and location

We would heartily recommend The Olive Farm to anyone - we had the most wonderful time there. The house has everything one would need to feel comfortable and at home. Upon our arrival Charles, Ellie and Lexi provided us with bottles of cold water, olive oil and some basic food which were highly appreciated. They were very friendly and helpful during our stay and managed to make us feel at home. The covered veranda is spacious with lots of flowers and fantastic view to the sea and sunset. We spent many hours there relaxing and enjoying the view. We spent 2 weeks there with our 2 boys (6 years old and 16 months old) who loved the house and veranda as well as the olive trees area around the house. There is very beautiful beach within 5-10 min drive (having both "organized" and "wild" sections), and Ancient Olympia is only 30 mins drive away. All the info, provided from the owners, was very useful and easy to follow. The Kato Samiko area is very beautiful and the diversity of nature is really amazing - you have mountains, sea, endless sandy beach, beach flowers, lake, wild and cultivated greenery, citrus and olive trees. We had a wonderful vacation and would love to go back.

Wonderful house in amazing location

We felt immediately at home in this lovely property. The veranda was large and contained lots of flowers in pots. House and garden were well maintained and everything that we needed was available. We were given fresh eggs and home made bread on arrival, along with olive oil. The setting was idyllic, very peaceful with lovely views. I would echo the comment of a previous reviewer, that the pictures do not do justice to this lovely place. We were also impressed by the generosity and warmth of Ellie, Charlies and Lexi. Our boys loved playing with Lexi, and especially on her huge trampoline.

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy Greece

One always hope to have a happy and relaxing vacation, but it is rare to find so much more than you hoped for. The house has everything you need, the kitchen is complete so you can make 'real' meals. Finding some basic foods in the fridge and homemade bread upon arrival was a wonderful welcome in itself. The place is very clean and kept up, and we felt very comfortable, like a home away from home. The view of the sea as well as the beautiful flowerbed in front of the terrace provide the perfect atmosphere for relaxing and the beach is just minutes away by car. If you like animals it is worth going up to the farm and saying hello to the pigs who are so silly and entertaining, and the dogs who are so friendly and happy. You can enjoy solitude if you want, but welcoming smiles await anyone that ventures up to the farm for a chat or to ask a question. Charles and Eleanor and Lexi are every bit as interesting and wonderful as the place they have made for others to vacation in. We are already looking forward to returning!

Perfect spot for a family holiday in Greece.

“Perfect spot for a relaxing family vacation.” We spent one perfect week in June with our three children at the Olive Farm. The farm itself is gorgeous - the house sits nestled in a grove of olive trees, with a drive that passes orange and lemon trees dripping ripe fruit onto the ground. The house has a gorgeous garden surrounding the veranda, where we would eat and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet and fresh air of the farm, as well as the lovely view of the sea. The house itself is extremely comfortable, in excellent condition, and is extremely well equipped for a rental property. We ate amazing fresh produce, swam in the ocean, hiked behind the house to the ancient acropolis, drove to lovely mountain villages, hiked in a gorge, visited ancient olympia and the Temple of Apollo.... and of course, we relaxed. The house is great for families, but is also a perfect for a secluded romantic getaway. Our three young children ansolutely adored the farm - they wandered around the olive groves for hours, played with Charles and Ellie's charming daughter Lexie (who also acted as our very knowledgable guide to the acropolis!) and loved going over and checking out the animals on Charle's and Ellie's adjacent farm. We went to the beach, and they also really enjoyed visiting the historical sites. The guest book in the house was full of visitors who return every year, which attests to how great the Olive Farm is. The area is off the beaten track, which adds to the charm of the place. We would highly recommend the Olive Farm to anyone looking to rent in Greece, and hope to return ourselves for a repeat visit.
