Kalo Riziko description

Designed and built to the highest standards, the house combines modern facilities with traditional architecture. With 3 large double bedrooms & a large garden

The house is less than 1 mile from 3 sandy beaches, and a short drive from many more.

The beautiful Stoupa beach stretches around a wide bay and offers umbrellas for hire

Designed and built to the highest standards, the house combines modern facilities with traditional architecture. With 3 large double bedrooms (one on the ground floor), a large garden and ideal location (only a 15 minute stroll from Stoupa and 3 wonderful sandy beaches). The house is now available for "paying guests" and offers the ideal home away for families and friends who want to explore the Mani countryside or just relax in the sun. It is designed to be accessible for disabled people.

The house is designed and built in a way that captures the best of the traditional architecture of the Outer Mani region. The walls were built from a double layer of local stone providing excellent insulation and creating an impression of timeless elegance. The natural reds and yellows in the stone capture and reflect all the warm colours of the sun, especially at sun set. The stone has been left deliberately bare in the main room with small earthenware features setting off the natural beauty of the stone. The main room has a high ceiling all the way up to the roof and two small windows set high up so that air circulates to provide natural air conditioning. The mezzanine area in the main room providing a generous double bedroom is a feature of Mani architecture. All the furniture has been hand-made by the local carpenter who also made the stairs and internal doors. The door ways and window sills are made from marble, and the downstairs floors made from Aegean tiles with a traditional Greek pattern as a feature around the doorways.

At the same time, the house has all the facilities you would expect from a modern building with built in, well equipped kitchen, bathrooms with toilet up and down stairs, shutters, mosquito nets and double glazing on every window and door. A small basement area houses the washing machine and garden furniture.
