Aleiki is an imposing traditional stone townhouse with a secluded walled garden with mature orange trees, jasmine and bougainvillea. There's a breakfast terrace right outside the kitchen door shaded by a grape vine pergola. It's the perfect location for a relaxed holiday and is within easy walking distance ( 8 - 10 minutes ) of the beach and castle. There's a fabulous bakery, wonderful tavernas and all local amenities on your doorstep as Aleiki is just up a little lane off the main street in the centre of the village. With everything on your doorstep, many of our guests do not feel the need to rent a car.

The light, bright front bedroom ( open beamed ceiling ) faces the sea and has a double bed and a single bed. The back bedroom overlooks the garden and little lane ( leading down to the main street ) and has a super king bed ( 2 x 2 metres ). There's also room for a cot ( which we can provide. ) There is one bathroom upstairs. Both bedrooms have air-con, varnished wooden floors and shutters.

Downstairs there's a kitchen and steps leading down to the lounge. The third bedroom opens off the lounge and has a small double bed. A washroom opens off the lounge ( toilet with sink ) . There's a double sofa bed and space to add a fold-down bed if needed.

The second full bathroom ( original to the property and therefore not modern - with new shower and toilet ) is in the garden above the kitchen terrace. It's particularly great for showering children after the beach and for hanging wet towels straight on the washing lines. There's also a washing machine, towels and toiletries.

Aleiki is a lovingly restored house in a beautiful village of special interest. We have tried to retain the original character and atmosphere of the property ( there are strict rules for the renovation of old stone properties in Methoni ). If it's New York style chic and en-suite bathrooms you're after, this may not be the property for you .
