Relaxing days guaranteed at Casa Sophia

We spent ten days in mid-May 2023 in the well-equipped house of Sophia and Mogens who received us very friendly and provided us with good tips, interesting information and small attentions. We don’t miss anything. The house is very individually furnished with a lot of love. Highly recommended.

My wife and I totally enjoyed our stay at Casa Sophia. It's a setting where time slows remarkably and you feel a guilt-free pleasure in having an equally slow pace to your days.I first discovered Casa Sophia back in 2017 while searching the internet for places to stay in Europe. We elected to go to Italy that time but I kept an eye on Casa Sophia. As the years went by I continued to check the VRBO site for the listing, hoping to take advantage of it sometime. There was one year I couldn't find the listing and panic set in. Had the property been sold? Had the owners retired? The next year I found the listing again and I relaxed.We made our decision to go to Greece in November of 2024 and shortly after I made our booking for Casa Sophia for September of 2025. Our hosts, Sophia and Mogens, were very good about keeping in contact with us prior to our visit, answering questions that only hosts could answer. Some people might be concerned that the hosts at Casa Sophia live downstairs from the rental property itself. Not to worry; church mice would be louder than the hosts. Seriously. And when you do want to interact with them, they are right there to answer your questions and assist you in any way that they can.If there are times when you want to add a little action to your day, the coastal towns of Stoupa and Agios Nikolaos are less than a ten minute drive away.

Paradise with a view

Our first impression of Casa Sophia was the description and photo on the website. Following our booking we received a wonderful description of Sophia and Mogens home and, the surrounding area. We drove from the North West of The Peleonnese using the descriptive guide from Sophia and Mogens and arrived, with no hickups, late in the afternoon. The surprise awaited us!!!!! We parked our car out of the village and walked slowly through the narrow, cobbled roads and lanes to the beautiful wrought iron front gates of Casa Sophia. Sophia greeted us with a welcoming smile and showed us through her gorgeous home. Once we stepped onto the terrace and, then inside, the peace came over us. The house offered us all we wished for, including some extra goodies! We made ourselves at home and sorted out our luggage as we had been travelling for 3 weeks. Sophia kindly washed our travel soiled clothing and offered us suggestions of the different possibilities of exploring the mountains or the coastline. We spent our days arising late, enjoying a delicious breakfast on the terrace listening to the birds and gazing at the azure Mediteranean Sea. Off in the car exploring the mountain villages was an adventure and great fun discovering the spots to stop for a Greek salad and coffee - one under a 100 year old Sycamore tree. The Bysantine Chapels and churches are very special in this area and well worth stopping to take a look inside. As it was very hot we always made it to the sea for a late cooling swim, headed back to Pygos, refreshed ourselves and then drove 10 mins to one of the seaside villages for a delicious Greek meal. Thank you very much Sophia and Mogens for our wonderful stay in your home and congratulation on making it such a special place. We will recommend Casa Sophia on the Mani in the Peleponnese to our friends, family and travel agent. Go well both of you. Warmest regards, Kerrie and Rob

Gemütliche Ferienwohnung mit einer phantastischen Terasse mit Meerblick

Sophia ist eine nette und aufmerksame Gastgeberin. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr komfortabel und gemütlich. Eine Grundausstattung mit Speisen und Getränken ist bei Ankunft vorhanden. Das Beste ist die Terasse mit vielen Blumen und Pflanzen. Von dort hat man einen phantastischen Blick auf den Messinischen Golf. Das Dorf Pyrgos ist etwas verschlafen aber mit dem Auto ist man in wenigen Minuten in Stoupa oder Agios Nikolaos.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt und die Ruhe in diesem geschmackvoll eingerichteten Haus sehr genossen. Die Küche ist prima ausgestattet und die geräumige Terasse lädt zum Verweilen ein. Das Dorf ist malerisch gelegen und hat seinen eigenen Charme. Sophia versorgt ihre Gäste mit Geheimtipps zur Erkundung der Gegend - sowohl das Meer als auch das Gebirge sind gut zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit Sophia verlief einfach perfekt. Als wir kurz vor Mitternacht endlich eintrafen, wartete noch ein Snack auf uns. Vielen Dank für alles, liebe Sophia!

Altes, sehr gepflegtes Steinhaus für Pflanzenliebhaber

Das Haus ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, sehr gut ausgestattet (Küche) und obgleich im Dorfverbund gelegen Tag und Nacht sehr, sehr ruhig; auf der Terasse sitzt man herrlich im Grünen. Sofia ist eine sehr zuvorkommende, hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Auto erforderlich, da es in Pyrgos selbst nur ein kleines Kafenion gibt. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Kleiner Minuspunkt: Beim Kofferpacken für unseren 4-wöchigen Aufenthalt hatten wir uns auf eine (im Inserat angegebene) Waschmaschine eingestellt, die es dann leider nicht gab.

Excellent

From communications before arrival to a goodbye at the gate the hosts were wonderful, attentive and very helpful. My wife had been walking through Italy for three weeks while I was leading a scooter tour around Greece. The plan was for me to join her in Italy but the Peloponnese was cooler and had much less tourist so she joined me. We were looking for a nice quite comfortable place to spend some time and Casa Sophia exceeded our expectations. Though we spent most of our time on the terrace reading or walking locally, we made a daily venture up the mountains to one of the small villages for lunch. Or, we drove the quick 5 minutes down the mountain to one of the local beach towns. This was a fantastic break for us and Casa Sophia and it's location is what made it so. PS: even the knifes where sharp.

Wunderschönes Haus in denkmalwürdigem Dorf

Wir hatten sehr erholsame 14 Tage in dem sehr schönen, liebevoll restaurierten Ferienhaus von Sophia und Mogens in Pyrgos - einem sehr altem Dorf, traumhaft ruhig, landschaftlich schön gelegen, und für verschiedene Aktivitäten und Ausflüge in die äussere, innere, und östliche Mani sehr gut geeignet. Die geschmackvolle Gestaltung der Terrasse setzt sich im Inneren des Hauses fort, und durch die ausgeprägte Diskretion der sehr freundlichen Gastgeber fühlt man sich völlig ungestört.
