NEW FOR 2025


The west Messinian coast is spectacular and unspoilt, with development strictly limited by the Zone of Special Protection that covers the entire Navarino bay. Hidden amongst olive groves in the midst of this wonderful landscape are the Messinian Nests, a cluster of five superb villas, each with its own pool and mesmerizing sea views.

Villa Onyx is the largest of the Nests, spread over two adjacent buildings that combine to sleep ten in deep, luxurious comfort. The villa's architecture maximizes a sense of openness, with lofty ceilings and rooms flooded with natural light. Building one is your social hub, with two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a vast, glass-fronted living area that leads out to the pool. In building two there are three further bedrooms, a second smaller kitchen and a private gym. It’s a wonderfully flexible layout for two families or a multi-generation party, and the Messinian Nest staff can tailor a host of optional extras to keep everyone entertained. Enjoy a cookery class or jewellery-making session in the comfort of your own villa, or sign the younger ones up for the summer kids golf lessons at Costa Navarino just around the bay. Adults can take advantage of special green fees at the four Costa Navarino courses, and for a special occasion, a yacht charter is a fabulous family experience.

Beyond the tranquillity of your villa, the area boasts pristine, sandy beaches encircling the protected Navarino Bay, with Gialova’s gentle shore just seven minutes away by car. This charming coastal village is perfect for families, featuring a variety of cafes and restaurants, along with a gently-shelving sandy beach and watersports in the main season. A little way to the north, Voidikilia beach is simply idyllic, with a lagoon full of protected birdlife to the rear and an arc of golden sand and shallow sea to the fore. Driving south along the bay you come to Pylos, a postcard-perfect harbour town full of tempting places to eat, crowned by its 16th C castle, superbly restored and just the place for junior knights and princesses to let their imagination run wild. For a luxury family holiday that works for all ages, Villa Onyx is hard to beat.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.

Considering a holiday in the Peloponnese? Welcome to a land of golden beaches, crimson sunsets and cerulean seas, where myth intertwines with history and the past is ever-present. This spectacular region lies at the southern tip of the Greek mainland, with three peninsulas reaching out towards Crete, each offering a slightly different Peloponnese holiday experience. The whole area is blissfully unspoilt and blessed with some of the longest and best beaches in Greece.

With its tempting combination of high-quality accommodation and unspoilt landscapes, a luxury holiday in the Peloponnese has very wide appeal, whether you choose family-friendly Stoupa for its soft sandy beaches, discreetly upmarket Agios Nikolaos for its excellent restaurants or the Costa Navarino for its renowned golf courses and glorious coastline, featuring one of the most photographed beaches in all of Greece. With prices generally lower than the island destinations and quality that we consider to be unrivalled in Greece, the Peloponnese is highly recommended for luxury holidays.
