Jamie, Olivia and Oskar’s Mani trip 2019

The property is fantastically situated in the middle of the Countryside , quiet, rugged and beautiful. It is very homely and fully equipped with everything one might need. Lots of useful shady outdoor space for relaxing in and watching the sun go down. I would recommend this home for anyone looking to escape from the grind of modern life!

A nice stay in a very quiet area !

It was an incredible experience to live alone in an abandoned village in Mani. You feel far away from everything and it is a nice feeling. The nearest beach is about 25 minutes driving. The house is always fresh downstairs in the main bedroom. For the persons who like to hike, unfortunately, a fire occured in august 2021 so it is not very pleasant to walk in the countryside around. Mosquitoes could be a challenge also sometimes during the evening (even in the house). The views from the house are breathtaking. If you like to stay in a quiet place, the house is definitely for you.

Sublime peace and quiet.

The house was exceptionally beautiful and in traditional keeping with the Mani architecture. Extremely quiet and remote with fabulous views. Great exploring and the most important for us was the wild flowers - exceptional in April. The house is very cosy and well equipped and even broadband is available despite it's remoteness. Jokke and Tonno were great hosts with easy and helpful communication. Gythio, the local town is about 30mins away (supermarkets, tavernas, petrol station etc). No local shopping facilities up in the hills. We tended to eat out for lunch and ate at home in the evenings. If you want to connect with nature and this little known but beautiful part of Greece we really do recommend this property. If you want bright lights and discos this is definitely not for you. Profound peace and quiet is what you'll get in generous measure.

very peaceful stay at impressive stone house in remote area with beautiful nature

If you wish to be far off the tourist tracks and you love a peaceful environment in the middle of the nature of Peloponnes region, then you are at the right place! The stone house is well equipped with everything you might need for a week with your friends and family, including three beds in three different rooms (the smaller beds are also 120cm large beds!), a wonderfully equipped kitchen, several terraces heading various directions (for breakfast, dinner, etc...), and a great garden. Joke and Tonno have managed to prepare a place with great care and attention. The only thing you should consider is: if you intend to go there for home office work in a quiet surrounding, be aware that the wifi is not always reliable. Also note that you have to walk uphills for a few minutes between the parking area and the entrance of the house (in case you travel with small children or older persons). Joke and Tonno made our stay very pleasant: great description of the area and the place, thank you so much! We very much enjoyed our stay at your place!

What a unique place to experience!

My husband, 7-year old son, and I spent five days at Joke and Tonno's home in Ano Tombra. It was not enough. I could find countless hikes, views, and explorations to occupy me. The house, even with its respectful and authentic nod to the ways people lived in this village generations ago, has been made very comfortable and stylish. There are even areas within the property to explore: various levels and terraces and gardens reaching out in all directions and clinging to the side of the mountain. Both early morning and late night are prime times to sit on the balcony and listen to the birds, bugs and various distant farm animals living their lives. And when the mood for letting the world back in becomes strong, there is a solid internet connection and, in less than half an hour, Gytheio sits on the coast with its shops and restaurants and life-- even during this covid summer. But that need is short-lived because the abandoned village that the house is part of is mysterious and filled with history waiting to be learned, and the overgrown donkey paths linking what was once a community are excellent hiking paths leading to summits with 360 degree views and amazing acoustics. I cannot wait to see this place at various times of year.

Altes Steinhaus in Griechenland, Sept.2024

Die Lage und Umgebung des Ferienhauses sind wirklich beeindruckend. Wir hätten uns gewünscht dass einige Informationen über besondere Gegebenheiten des Objektes bereits im Inserat erkennbar gewesen wären. Leider wurden einzelne Details erst nach kompletter Bezahlung des Mietpreises per Mail kommuniziert, z. B. Außen-WC, 4 Kameras - davon drei im Außenbereich, eine Kamera im Wohnbereich - diese durften zwar während des Aufenthaltes ausgeschaltet werden, wirkten trotzdem unangenehm omnipräsent. Der gesamte Haus- und Toilettenabfall mußte durch uns komplett selbst entsorgt werden, das bedeutete im Detail: Transport zu Fuß 200 m über einen steinigen Pfad zum Parkplatz, anschließend einige Kilometer Fahrt zu einem Dorf und den dortigen Müllcontainern. Diese letze Information ersuchten wir bei dem, wie wir dann erfuhren, inzwischen nicht mehr zuständigen Caretaker. Außerdem sollte man genug Zeit einplanen um die gesamte Check-out-Liste (ebenfalls erst Ende August kommuniziert) zu erfüllen.

Urlaub in Einsamkeimt

Wunderschönes, stilvoll renoviertes Steinhaus in verlassenem Dorf. Bietet die Möglichkeit dem Alltagsstress zu entfliehen und, umgeben von prachvoller Natur, zu Ruhe zu kommen. Aufgrund der einsamen Lage, muss man in Kauf nehmen, dass man längere Strecken fahren muss bis zum nächsten Kaffee bzw. Taverna.

Thanks Jokke and Tonno

The house is gorgeous, fully equipped with anything you may need. Regrettably se had ti interrupt our stay because of the fires that affected the area. The house survived beautifully, though, and we were lucky enough to have Jokke and Tonno as landlords plus Peter and Silvia ad caretakers. They did all they could to assist and provide information during the most alarming moments of this Emergency. The house did not suffer any damage and Jokke and Tonno were so kind as to pay us back the whole amount. I Wish to express my gratitude to them and Hope to enjoy the Ano Tobra house sono.

Ein Geheimtipp für Naturliebhaber

Dies war bereits unser zweiter Aufenthalt in diesem mit viel Liebe renovierten und restaurierten landestypischen Steinhaus, zwischen grünen Hügeln, kargen Berggipfeln, wilden Kräutern, Grillengezirpe, Eselsrufen und Ziegenglöckchengebimmel. Die Naturnähe und der Erholungswert sind unbeschreiblich. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder, vielen Dank für alles!

Adembenemend voor durfals

Hoog in de heuvels ligt aan het einde van een ezelpad, een traditioneel huis. Absolute rust, maar op een half uurtje rijden het havenstadje Gythion en aantrekkelijke zandstranden. Sfeervol huis met meerdere terrassen met uniek uitzicht op heuvels en zee. Aanrader voor rustzoekers, avonturiers maar ook gezinnen met kinderen (>7jr).
