This isn’t the newest, sparkliest rental house - it’s a home, and feels like it…everything you need, well equipped kitchen, lots of comfy furniture and places to relax. It’s not far from great beaches, Methoni town is quiet, and lovely, but near the main road so good for accessing supermarkets and other places to visit. Simon was there when you needed him, but discreetly available (he lives on site) and really friendly. The pool is great, and we had it to ourselves a lot. Amazing wildlife! And fab fruit trees (I lived on passion fruit). You won’t want to leave the view though, quiet and contemplative dawns, beautiful sunsets, and starry skies at night. We could have stayed forever. Thanks Simon (and cats).x

We stayed at Simon’s villa with our two children, 5 and 7. We had a fab time. The house is equiped with all basic amenities, lovely pool, and in a great location, close to wonderful family beaches and central for visiting the area. Would highly recommend without a doubt!

We, couple ( 65 years) stayed in Vila Shani for 2 weeks with our sons, their wifes, and a baby (11 months). We had a wonderful time together, swimming in the pool, cooking, eating, playing together.
The Vila is located on the top of the hill and we had a great view to the landscape with thousands of olive trees, over Methoni, where we watched the sun set and to the Coast and the sea.
In the area we had lots of beautiful beaches we could choose every day. The distance to the beaches is about 2 km.
We enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful holiday exploring the uncrowded sandy beaches nearby, pottering around the small town of Methoni and visiting amazing venetian and ottoman forts. The sea is the cleanest that I think I have ever swum in. A highlight was taking the boat from Methoni across to the island of Sapienza; Vassilis the boatman stopped over the shipwreck of 2000 year old stone sarcophogi, which could clearly be seen in 8 metres of water.
We stayed in Gaia Cottage: the cottage was simply furnished and had everything we needed (no microwave or dishwasher but we didn't mind that). What really matters to us are things like mattresses, and they were very comfortable. The setting in the olive grove is lovely. There are views across the countryside and to the sea from the cottage patio, from its small and exposed roof terrace (too hot for us during the day), from the pool area and a truly remarkable view, from the front of the Sea Breeze property, of Methoni bay and town.
Simon is friendly and approachable and took very good care of us, with advice about where to go and what to do. We really enjoyed his olive oil, eggs, passion fruit and aubergines.
The shared pool worked really well for us and was a good way to meet other people staying there.
We shall definitely go back to this area of of the Peleponnese and to Seabreeze.

We stayed with our 3 kids (aged 4-7) during 3 weeks and really loved the house, the location and our host Simon who was so kind and always ready to help and offer his house grown vegetables, eggs, olives, oil ...
The environment is really relaxing: a very soft tourism, no crowd anywhere, warm people in shops and restaurants, and soft temperatures due to the see nearby
Sharing the swimming pool with other families was actually a very nice experience
I highly recommend the place
Thanks a lot Simon and Idy

Seabreeze is located on a hill just above the town of Methoni, with beautiful view to the bay, close enough to go down to town in a one or two minutes of drive, or a few minutes of walk, and yet isolated to those who need a piece of quiet nature. The three houses are far away from one another, which gives a lot of privacy, and are sorounded by beautiful vegetation, the sound of birds and crickets, and beautiful skies full of stars at night. The house was very cleen and well equiped with everything we needed, and gave a very homly feeling. On the day of arrival we where greeted with fruit, vegetables (homely grown) fresh bread and a few more refreshments which made the end of the long drive feel very welcoming. The swimming pool is beautifully located in front of the open view, and very nice to sit by a relax while the kids are in the water.
There are many things to do and see in the area, and we found the location very convenient- Methoni itself is a beautiful town, with many good places to eat and a very impressive fortress to visit. Finikounda is a few minutes drive from there, and beautiful Koroni is about 25 minutes drive, with beautiful beaches along the way. Simon was very helpful in giving us advice a directions on where to go. We really loved the stay at "Seabreeze" and would love to come back once again.

We spent a wonderful month in Villa Shani. The views are spectacular, Simon was a fantastic host and it's a lovely place to spend some time.

We really enjoyed our holiday at Seebreeze near Methoni. This is a beautiful area and there are lots of things to do and many areas to explore. We visited ancient sites, remote hilltop villages, beaches, local towns, castles, museums and the market in Kalamata. Simon was very helpful in suggesting things to see and providing maps. We enjoyed meeting his extremely friendly cats!
The house was clean and all the basic things we needed were there. We bought you an egg cup and a juice squeezer! There was a great view from the rooftop terrace, a good place to drink our ouzo!
However we felt that with a few small details and little expense he could easily improve a few things. The view from the front door needs tidying up, abandoned car, broken polytunnel and various clutter lying around. Inside, the house needs to be kept up to date...for example, new bedding needed, worktops in the kitchen need replacing, bathroom drain hole doesn`t work....so puddles form, a more generous welcome pack, say half a dozen eggs and a bottle of wine. Many cottages these days have a very high standard and for the price asked one expects things to be kept up to date and those few little extras make all the difference.
This is intended to be constructive...we did enjoy our holiday!!

We had a lovely relaxing 2 weeks in the Villa Sol at Sea Breeze villas. Simon and Idit were charming and accommodating hosts, available to help when needed but unobtrusive as well. The villa itself is set in an olive grove in a lovely valley just south of Methoni. Although there are three properties on the site you barely notice the other guests as the houses are set apart from one another. The pool is shared with the other properties but with a little planning we had several days where we were the only users of it. Ali the dog was a lovely friend for our son and we miss her hugely! The house itself had everything you need and was clean and tidy. The insect netting on every door and window was great and we had no bites at all. The roof terrace is a lovely place to star gaze or sunbathe and there is another small terrace at the front of the house where you can eat al fresco. Our only slight disappointment was that we would have liked a larger/more substantial barbecue.... There are lots of small tracks in the valley and if you like walking or cycling there are plenty of chances to get away from the main roads.
This part of Greece is very beautiful and unspoilt. Methoni is just a short distance away - you can walk there but we opted to drive. The town is very attractive - you can visit the fascinating castle and there are great places to stock up - a small Carrefour supermarket, butchers, fishmongers, bakeries and tavernas and cafes. The sheltered town beach is lovely with shallow water and great views of the castle. There are numerous beautiful beaches within a few miles of the property - we particularly liked Lambes, just a few minutes drive south. Finikounda is about 15 minutes drive away if you prefer somewhere a little more resort like and Koroni is well worth a visit as is Pylos, around 20 mintues north of Methoni - it's a bigger town with a lovely shaded square.
We have come home with very fond memories of our stay and a reminder in the form of Simon and Idit's olive oil; we've just finished our litre; the best olive oil we have ever tasted! We hope to return soon!

We had a fantastic stay in this wonderfully elavated setting with an attentive owner in one of the best corners of Greece.

We had a great experience staying at Seabreeze. Very comfortable accommodation set in a tranquil olive grove. Our family of 4 enjoyed the facilities, the pool and the lovely views. Our hosts were most helpful with useful tips to secret beaches and recommended tavernas, thank you. We would recommend this property and surrounding area for anyone who would like to stay in a quiet part of Greece away from the tourist crowds. With plenty to explore in the local area and also a great setting to relax on the lazy days.

Have to say this villa suited us perfectly for our family of four. It sits at the top of a hill overlooking the pretty seaside town of Methoni and the views were spectacular. We rented the bigger of the three villas, but all three looked really nice. The villas are surrounded by really nice gardens and olive groves and the pool was great for an afternoon dip when we got back from the beach. The big villa itself has lots of lovey creative touches and the upstairs living space is wonderful. A really nice space that flows out onto the balcony. There is even a small spiral staircase leading up to a roof top terrace and on several nights we lay out on this just to look at the beautiful stars in this unspoiled corner of the world.
The two local towns of Methoni and Finikounda are just a few miles and both are charming places to visit, eat and do a spot of shopping. The local area is simply stunning. Lots of beaches with loungers and tavernas, if that's your kind of thing, but also some quieter and more beautiful spots to discover if you don't mind walking a little way to find them.
We had a nice warm welcome from the owners and Simon was always on hand with lots of information and advice. Highly recommended for both the villa and the area in general.
Two small points to mention...
First, the track up to the villa takes a sharp turn off the road, so take care when turning off the main road (not a major problem as the road is not generally pretty quiet).
Second, the owners actually stay in an apartment below the main villa. It is part of the same building but they were very discrete and we never felt as if we were 'sharing the villa'.
All in all we had great holiday in a lovely spot.

Villa Shani is the private house of a cosmopolitan family in Methoni, Greece, very pleasant and unpretentious. Once or twice during the year it is possible to rent the place. It´s ideal for families with two or three kids. The house is located in the middle of an olive grove that is still being cultivated with fantastic views onto the sea and the fortress of Methony. It is built very creatively with lots of lovely details and nice furniture. The place has three bed-rooms, a big kitchen / living- / and dining-room as well as a huge terrace (with the views) and a swimming pool. You can easily spend the whole day at the house or you can visit various beaches, water-falls and archeological sites that are all near-by. There are a few excellent restaurants in the neighbourhood. Nine days went by like nothing and at the end the kids wanted to stay for another week.

I got much more than I had hoped for from this week away in Methoni staying at Seabreeze. The whole area is very beautiful with fab beaches and brilliant clear blue seas. The villa we stayed in at Seabreeze was simple and perfect - set in amongst a wonderful organic olive tree grove I found the whole experience deeply peaceful and grounding. Simon, Idit and their children, and lovely animals were very warm and welcoming. I spent whole days just hanging out near the house when my friends went exploring because it was that lovely and relaxing! All I can say is I really hope to return soon. Going the end of season also added to the relaxed vibe of the area too. I highly recommend it :)

My girlfriend and I spent one week in this fantastic area and enjoyed every second of it.
House and property are beautiful, the hosts are very friendly and helpful, the location is perfect and we had everything we need.
We'd love to come back and fully recommend this location.
Thank you for eveything. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon.

This was our first time in this part of Greece, and we were not disappointed! Simon and Idit were very helpful hosts and even provided a welcome package of their own produce. The location of the villa, up on the side of the mountain, offered wonderful views of Methoni village and the sea, and the whole surrounding landscape. We could have chosen to stay in a hotel, but we wanted an authentic, village life experience. The accommodations were adequate, and everything was in working order. Our hosts provided plenty of information for us to experience and enjoy all that this region has to offer. Our children enjoyed afternoons in the pool, and star gazing at night. We tried every beach that was recommended, and also had dinners at the many restaurants that were suggested. Overall, we were very happy with our choice and feel lucky to have experienced Methoni!

We have been there 4 times and it's always a big pleasure for us. We have a young child and we like enjoying the tranquility of the villa among olive trees. The place is ideal for relax and enjoy the pleasures of Greece. We will go back and we recommend you to come. Simon & Edith have a lot of secrets to share with you.

We (five adults and youngsters) stayed five nights in Villa Shani. We loved the house and the location. The views are fantastic from the house. The pool worked fine for us - size is good and it was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed (we had breakfast every morning and cooked several evenings). There are several places to eat on terraces and in the house. Simon and Idit were very helpful and we used their advices to a large extent and had a very, very good time. Actually we were surprised about how laid back the area was - seems to have a good balance between tourism and other industries. There's easy access to beautiful beaches and good trekking in the areas inland. Most towns/villages are nice and without tourist traps. Will come back!

I'm sorry to say that the premise is totally unacceptable by any standard. The Villa Shani is in a splendid location, but this is the only positive thing. Literally everything is going in ruins and lacks maintenance since many years. All the windows are in bad condition and don't close, or close thank to a rope.
Moreover, the bath situation is very bad. In a corner inside a room you have a shower with a door that would be adequate for a camping. In a toilet you have a sink so small that would be adequate for an airplane. Moreover, also hygiene is a problem: bed pillows under the sheet are really filthy and owner's dog dejections are left to dry in that should be a garden, but is substantially a rubbish tip.
For letting everybody understand the situation, I post some photos, but believe me, I took some pictures.

Beautiful peaceful location in olive grove above Methoni. Stunning pool, unheated but warm from the sun. Great for the children, with swings, tree houses (ramshackle but charming), and especially the animals: Ali the dog, the cats and the chickens. Practical and comfortable accommodation. The most helpful and sensitive hosts imaginable. Extraordinary walk through flower filled countryside down to the sea and the town. Cannot imagine a better place to unwind. Why might this not suit you? If you're looking for luxury, or bustle, or if you don't like the creatures that come with staying in the Greek countryside. Also worth noting: We travelled without a car. There are a couple of taxis in Methoni, but they aren't always available, and we would have struggled without help from Simon, the owner.
