Description from the manager

Come enjoy Greek life and leisure at this villa in the Peloponnese! You'll be hard pressed to choose your daily activities: Should you go out and take advantage of all this area has to offer? ...Or just stay at this Greek villa and enjoy your private swimming pool and that magnificent view? Regardless of whether you choose to explore or relax, both the location and the beauty of this Peloponnese villa will ensure your delight!

[2,000 m2] This private villa is built on an incline within its own fenced, partly landscaped property. It sits almost on the water's edge, just above a rocky shore. The exterior area is comprised of a garden with... a large, oval-shaped swimming pool [40 m2, fresh water] and a sun terrace with thatch umbrellas. There is a dining table for "al fresco" meals as well as sun lounges for just being lazy! There is also a built-in barbecue and outdoor parking. Because this villa is built on an incline there are some steps out of doors.

[200 m2]

Ground floor: This villa has a living room with a sofa bed [suitable for one] and an exit to the pool terrace. It is also equipped with a TV, DVD player, and CD player. The dining area has two tables for a total of 12 seats. An open-plan kitchen is equipped with an oven, cook-top, dishwasher, coffee machine, espresso machine, and a washing machine. This floor has one bedroom with a 160 cm queen-size bed, air conditioning, and an exterior door. A bathroom has a sink, toilet, and shower.

First Floor: Upstairs there is a split-level floor. The lower level contains a large hallway used as a sitting room with a fireplace and a sofa-bed suitable for one. It exits to a spacious veranda with a pergola looking over the pool and sea. There is also a small bedroom with one single bed and a fan. The upper level of the first floor has one bedroom with a 160 cm queen-size bed and air conditioning. A second bedroom has a single bed. They share a bathroom with a sink, toilet, and shower.

This villa is located on the eastern coast of the Peloponnese in Greece, a short drive from the village of Ermioni. Ermioni, formerly Hermione, is a quaint little village that sits on an outcrop facing the island of Hydra. Although it does not have a sandy beach, it is still quite possible to go swimming. The primary industry here is still fishing, and because the high speed Dolphin boats stop here it is easy to get to and from the nearby islands. There are also some interesting ruins at one end of town. Conveniences include a bank, police station, post office, and town square. Nearby Kranidi is the provincial capital. This larger town has beaches, windmills, and historic sights like the chapels of Santa Anna and Pantanassa, cared for by nuns [female visitors please wear skirts]. In addition to the towns many other chapels and churches, you will find the church of St Anagyroi, where there are woodcuts and a library of rare manuscripts. Another fun excursion is the island of Hydra, where there are no cars. The only means of transportation here are donkeys, water taxis, and your own two feet! Fortunately everything is within walking distance, and there are many water and outdoor activities available. If you're interested in Greek myth, Troizina [formerly Troezen] was the birthplace of Theseus, and is reportedly the location of a spring where Pegasus once touched the ground.

  Outstanding...the property exceeded our expectations...We felt instantly at home and could negotiate the area easily. The house was well equipped and the housekeeper came every other day to clean..
  
  The pool and view from all the rooms looking out over the Aegean couldn't be equalled. There were a lot of us and there was plenty of space. It truly was one of the prettiest places we have ever been.
  
  The road getting to the property was very bumpy but once we were used to it, no problems.There were some mosquitoes but they didn't really pose a problem..We got a couple of extra fans and closed up at night to keep them out and outside, no one got bit.
  
  This is in a very interesting part of Greece and the day trips we took were great. The scenery is just beautiful. There are beaches around but we enjoyed the pool mostly especially after a day of sight seeing.

  Jonathan's review of Villa Hermione

  We had a great time at the Villa! The best view EVER! It was a wonderful vacation and I'm glad we didn't stay in Athens. It was nice to visit Athens for the day and return to the views of the villa.
  
  The property owners were very nice and welcoming. The pool was great for the children and the villa was very cute. AC worked GREAT in the bedrooms. It was hot in the bedrooms without AC since you couldn't open the windows with all the mosquitoes at night. No problems during the day though.
  
  You need a strong stomach to handle the drive to the villa. It's okay once you get used to it, but a little nerve-wracking initially.
  
  Ermioni was a nice town and a great hub to visit other islands.

  The property was lovely and the owner very welcoming.
  
  The views were wonderful as was the peace and quiet. It is located near to a small town unspoilt by tourism at the moment. The property owner who met us on arrival couldn't have been more welcoming. Pool excellent, large size and deep enough for diving at one end.
  
  Rather a long bumpy track to the property. Good in many ways as it maybe deterred people from using it but we were concerned about the rental car's suspension!
  
  Good tavernas-restaurants in Ermioni.
