Driving through the leafy lane until the very end , this property sits at the edge of the village, beyond only the natura of the Taygetos hillsides. Above only the peaks and an old stone church chapel. The land below stretches out down to the coast and the open view of the Mediterranean Sea. Private parking is available outside the property, and entrance to the walled courtyard is through an imposing medieval style gateway, as you enter you are within the landscaped gardens, complete with stone garden, barbq areas, covered pergolas and many, many mature trees of all varieties.
